DENVER (KDVR) — A group of ten track and field coaches from a Fort Collins high school were dismissed on Tuesday, just over a month into the spring season, for a “violation of district policy,” as confirmed by a spokesperson from Poudre School District on Thursday.

In a communication sent to the families of track athletes at Rocky Mountain High School, located at 1300 W. Swallow Road, district officials stated, “Due to a personnel issue related to a breach of district policy, some individuals who previously served as coaches are no longer employed with the district.”

The district added that no students were involved in the situation.

“We understand this news might be unexpected, and acknowledge that your students could have questions or concerns,” officials mentioned in the letter to families. “Our main priority is the wellbeing of our student-athletes. We are diligently working on a support plan to ensure their ongoing development, training, and emotional wellbeing during this transition.”

The district spokesperson provided affiliate KDVR with a list of 10 coaches terminated from their coaching positions; two of the coaches are still employed by the district in other capacities, one a Rocky Mountain High School paraprofessional and the other a teacher at Poudre High School.

Those two are on administrative leave in those capacities while the district reviews their employment in those roles. The other eight are no longer employed by the district, according to the spokesperson.

There were a total 12 paid coaches for track and field, the spokesperson said, as well as an unpaid volunteer.

The spokesperson told KDVR that since this is a “confidential personnel matter,” they could not share specifics of the violation.

According to a schedule posted on the school’s track and field website, the season started Feb. 24, with the first meets being the first week of March.

The district said in the letter to families that it would communicate the next steps once they are finalized.
