**Petition for Reinstatement of Head Boys Basketball Coach

Jon‑Reese Woodson**
To the Members of the School Board, Administration, and District Leadership:
We, the undersigned parents, students, athletes, alumni, and community members, respectfully submit this petition to request that the resignation of Jon‑Reese Woodson, Head Boys Basketball Coach, be reconsidered, reversed, and that he be reinstated to his position.
It has come to our understanding that Coach Woodson was forced to resign following a conversation with the Athletic Director. This decision has caused significant concern within the school and broader community, particularly due to the impact it has on student‑athletes, the basketball program, and the trust between the school and its stakeholders.
Coach Woodson has demonstrated leadership, commitment, and dedication to student development—both on and off the court. His influence has extended beyond wins and losses, emphasizing accountability, character, teamwork, and academic responsibility. For many students, he has been a trusted mentor and role model.

Our Request
We respectfully ask for the following actions to be taken:
That the School Board calls for an emergency meeting to review and reevaluate all information, circumstances, and procedures related to Coach Woodson’s resignation.
That this review process be conducted transparently and fairly, ensuring that all relevant facts and perspectives are considered.
That Jon‑Reese Woodson be allowed to attend and participate in this emergency meeting, providing him the opportunity to speak on his own behalf and respond to the circumstances that led to his resignation.
That the decision requiring his resignation be reversed, and that he be reinstated as Head Boys Basketball Coach.

Why This Matters
Decisions of this magnitude affect not only one individual, but also:
Student‑athletes who rely on consistency and trust in leadership
Families who place confidence in the school’s leadership
The integrity and stability of the athletic program
The overall school community
We believe it is in the best interest of the students and the school for this matter to be revisited promptly, thoughtfully, and with fairness.

Conclusion
This petition reflects the collective concern and support of the community. We respectfully urge the School Board to act swiftly by convening an emergency meeting and giving Coach Jon‑Reese Woodson the opportunity to be heard, with the goal of reinstating him as Head Boys Basketball Coach.
Thank you for your time, attention, and commitment to the students and values of our school district.
