FORMER KISKI BASEBALL COACH SUING THE DISTRICT

A former Kiski School District baseball coach is suing the district after his contract was not renewed.  KDKA-TV reports that the lawyer for Mark Flemm, Jr. claims the move was made as political retribution.  He claims that he was the only applicant for the position and had the support of the athletic director and superintendent.  Flemm’s lawyer is accusing the board of holding a grudge against him as he enforced masking rules during the pandemic.  The Kiski Area superintendent said the application pool was limited and that the administration made a recommendation based on baseball experience and program familiarity, and the board took the recommendation.
