The dismissal of Hopewell-Loudon football coach Jeremy Nutter was the main topic at the Board of Education’s meeting last night.  School district resident Cathy Brooks told the board that many players were upset by the action and they wanted to know what they could do to keep him.  Brooks was not given any direction by the board on how to proceed, only being told someone would get back to her in a few days.  When asked if the coach had been suspended or dismissed, board members said only that all sports coaches’ contracts had not been renewed as a pro-forma move.  There was no mention by the board why the coach was informed he would not be returning as a coach next year if no formal decisions have been made on offering Nutter or any other coach contracts for next year.
