After 2 years of running the Dayton Public Schools District, Athletic Director Shawna Welch has stepped down to take a Principal position, leaving the position open once again.
However, it seems that there will be a new athletic committee that will be apart of the decision making process in the future when it comes to sports and sports related events regarding DPS.
While people will question this method, it actually makes sense, as there were some major issues in recent years that needed to be tackled by more than one person. While Welch didn’t do a amazing job in her 2 year stint, she didn’t do a horrible job either. It was more of the lack of inspiration to move the program in the direction that was needed – and wanted – by the Board which led to the undoing of Welch as AD.
Welch, in all honesty, was thrust into the job after the previous AD was bought out of her deal. She will now be a principal at a middle or elementary school, which is a role that she was accustomed to being in.
While it is not determined who will replace Welch, there should be stronger leadership within DPS Athletics and a solid committee would help that process. They have made positive progress in recently.
