Crespi is facing debate over disciplinary actions

A debate has erupted among faculty at Encino Crespi after the school allowed a football player who was forced to withdraw last semester for disciplinary reasons to return for the upcoming semester. Add to that, Father Paul Henson, the school principal, has decided not to renew the contract of long-time assistant baseball Coach Craig Sherwood.

Rob Kodama, serving as a spokesman for the school, said a committee appointed by Henson came to the conclusion that the player ‘deserved a second chance.’

‘For us, the standard is trying to build men of character,’ he said.

The player’s return, almost at the same time as Sherwood’s exit, has created animosity and second-guessing.

And just wait until alumni weigh in.
