Solano College reconsidering layoff notices for coaches - Sarah Rohrs, Times-Herald

Nearly a month after voting to issue layoff notices to two physical education employees the Solano Community College board on Wednesday may consider rescinding the controversial move. After hours of emotional testimony, Solano College board voted 4-2 on March 7, to issue the notices to an assistant football coach and a swimming instructor. The layoff notices were part of the college's decision to eliminate the college's football and aquatics teams. President Jowell Laguerre said the two employees can be retained but the future of the two sports programs is still uncertain.
