Stephen Pina message to coach's dad led to removal from subcommittees | Exclusive

Brockton School Committee member Stephen Pina was removed from all subcommittees over a message he sent the father of a district employee. The vote was taken in executive session, a meeting held privately to discuss sensitive topics like personnel matters. A complaint regarding Pina was discussed during a Sept. 15 committee meeting, according to the agenda. Over the course of multiple phone interviews with The Enterprise, Pina and Vice Chair Claudio Gomes offered conflicting accounts of why the message could have led members to vote him off subcommittees — which are akin to working groups for areas like athletics, safety and teacher's union negotiations. Pina said Oct. 7 he was removed because, in the message, he expressed his belief that girls should not play on Brockton High's boys football team, and other members disagreed with this view.
