The report ties Mento to conflicts over Dan Matsook and Patrick Risha hires in Duquesne, noting Risha declined the principal post amid protests about district origin and pay. It recalls Matsook later becoming assistant superintendent and football coach in Neshannock, with prior coaching staff changes and past football records. The piece places these actions in the broader context of Mento's seven years in Duquesne and Ridge's academic bankruptcy designation of nearby districts.

Neshannonk district reviews sessions and football coaching change
At a district meeting Flannery noted four executive sessions since June amid tough months. He highlighted district gains including three computer labs, expanded psychological services, an academic support center, staff evaluations, teacher realignment, $180000 in bond revenue, and a redesigned administration. Matsook, hired as assistant superintendent and former Rochester coach, faced questions over his football role. Antuono’s firing in 1999 led to Matsook’s hiring, with superintendent Mento denying earmarking him for coaching. Community members urged continued support for students and football, stressing parental and student backing.
