Readers React: Calabasas High football: Why so many transfers so soon?
To the editor: When I was an assistant principal at a west San Fernando Valley high school, one of my tasks was to be certain that coaches, students and parents were obeying all the residency rules regarding athletics. We managed to stay “legal” — but too often, just barely. (“What’s up with all the transfers in Calabasas High School football?,” Aug. 28)
Why barely? Because too many coaches will attempt to skirt any rules that stop them from recruiting. They will always say that they do it because other coaches do it. They will encourage students and parents to fudge the truth or just outright lie about why, suddenly, they have moved from one part of town to another.
Readers may decide for themselves what’s happening at Calabasas High School. My experience tells me that something is amiss.
