Ex-Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet breaks silence on allegations behind firing

Former Heritage High School (Maryville, TN) head football coach and Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet is breaking his silence after being fired from his position at the Blount County school on Oct. 20. A report received by the Heritage High School administration stated that Osovet had attempted to influence the team's athletic trainers to circumvent the concussion protocol during a game against Carter on Sept. 25. A week later, Osovet was placed on administrative leave. According to a release from Blount County schools director Justin Ridge on Nov. 6, an investigation had determined that Osovet had "engaged in unprofessional conduct and insubordination, including actions inconsistent with the district's expectations for protecting student-health and safety". Osovet, who had remained fairly quiet throughout the process, finally took to social media to state his side of things on Nov. 6 "I firmly dispute these accusations and the characterization of my actions throughout this investigation," Osovet posted to his Facebook . "In my 36 years of coaching, I have never interfered with a physician's diagnosis or acted against established concussion protocols ― the safety and well-being of my players have always come first. "My time to speak will come, and when it

Public schools’ strategic plan in progress

Much of last night’s November meeting of Oconee school trustees centered on student achievement and how learning is made more effective. Superintendent Andy Smith gave a status report on an ongoing strategic plan survey that looks to the community as a whole for ideas and general feedback. And two assistant superintendents – Murray and Liebman – addressed the county district’s newest report card – shared findings on how Oconee public schools fare in comparison. One of the takeaways, as reported by Dr. Ashley Murray, assistant superintendent for elementary instruction, is that none of Oconee’s schools rate below average or unsatisfactory. Average was a key word, as both Murray and her middle and high school counterpart, Alyssa Leibman, spoke confidently of the commitment among the individual schools to reach and hold an excellent level. Three elementary schools – Keowee, Walhalla, and Tamassee-Salem – are currently considered excellent places for learning. According to the state Department of Education, a district strategic plan must set priorities and efforts to focus on raising student achievement for all students, prevent academic problems, and reduce identified gaps in the report card.
