Parents and students are calling for the reinstatement of a Voorhees High School coach who they claim was fired after he allegedly suggested to an athlete that people should have coronavirus parties.
During a North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District board meeting on Dec. 15, dozens of parents, graduates and current athletes spoke against the termination of boys cross country and track coach Jeff Capone, which they say was done unfairly and based off a harmless comment.
