On the news-side today, Tim Waldorf provides a good update on Metea Valley High School, which is progressing in advance of an August target date for the first classes of freshmen and sophomores to arrive. Principal Jim Schmid would tell you that athletics is a piece of a very large puzzle, and several major coaching hires have already been made.
Football coach Ted Monken, an external hire from St. Charles East, is reportedly pending school board approval on Monday. Schmid tells Waldorf that all but three or four coaching positions have been filled. Waldorf also reports that while the Aurora building is starting to look like an actual school, some teams may have to be patient. Waldorf writes:
(P)ortions of the school -- the other two-story classroom wing, as well as music and fine arts facilities, an auxiliary gymnasium and the pool -- won't be complete until about a year from now. And some athletic fields may not be ready for teams to practice or play on them on Day 1.
