Tonight at 6:30; Town Hall support rally for Coach Nick Colagiovanni

Hall High School students who have spent the better part of two weeks calling for a renewal of beloved coach Nick Colagiovanni's contract are taking their cause to the monthly West Hartford Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, April First.

The evening will start with a 6:30 support rally outside Town Hall by the South Main Street entrance for 'Coach C' imploring school and district leaders to renew his contract for the 2014-2015 school year.

At 7:00, the Board of Ed meeting begins inside Town Hall and students plan on speaking their case to both Dr. Karen List and incoming School Superintendent Thomas Moore.

Students learned two weeks ago that Coach C's contract was likely to not be renewed. They took to the cause quickly with public pleas for rehiring the coach including a petition which was signed by over 80% of the Hall High student population.

Supporters are encourage to bring a sign supporting the coach.

Anyone with comments for the Board of Ed is encouraged to come to the rally and attend the meeting.  Stay Tuned!
