GLEN ROCK, NJ \u2014 A school board member resigned and fireworks flew at a Glen Rock meeting Monday, as community members rallied around a girls’ basketball coach.<\/p>\n
According to a petition posted later that day, community members supported Junior Varsity Girls’ Basketball Coach Sarah Wolman at Glen Rock High School for the position of varsity coach.<\/p>\n
But when another candidate was chosen for the spot, parents and volunteers were angry, saying he was from the superintendent’s former district and was placed on the agenda at the last minute.<\/p>\n At the meeting, board member Elizabeth Carr said she was resigning, citing a lack of trust, and left.<\/p>\n “It’s increasingly hard to do your job when you’re misinformed and uninformed and there is a lack of trust,” she said. “The work that I’ve done for the district and the students since 2006 I feel I can no longer do, and I’m sorry. I want to thank everybody who voted for me. It’s been an honor and a pleasure and my door is still going to be open and my phone is still going to be answered.”<\/p>\n Rallying For Wolman<\/strong><\/p>\n The petition about the coach hiring says, “On September 23rd, 2024, the Glen Rock Board of Education approved a new Head Coach for the Glen Rock High School Girls Varsity position. This was done without any proper consideration for the current Junior Varsity Coach, Coach Sara Wolman. Coach Sara, a GRHS alum and former collegiate player, has been involved with the High School basketball program and has helped with the youth league programs for over a decade.”<\/p>\nFind out what's happening in Ridgewood-Glen Rockwith free, real-time updates from Patch.<\/h2>\n
