Morrison Resignation Accepted by Southern High Board
The Racine district board of education unanimously accepted the resignation of Mike Morrison Southern High School basketball coach at a lengthy Friday meeting. Attorney Robert Drury of the Ohio Education Association attended and Morrison spoke with Beegle about a study hall dispute that led to tensions between Morrison and teacher Jennings Beegle. Beegle had warned he would not teach in the same school as Morrison. Morrison had earlier submitted resignation to Charles Hayman, and the board returned it before final acceptance.
