Of course.  But gotta start somewhere.  WGI implemented SafeSport, yet there sure was a Timing and Penalties judge in Dayton (this year) that was known to WGI to have done some not-above board things with members.  Yet that person still coaches a high school program and dons a WGI polo to serve on a panel.  WGI definitely knows...this person was investigated and released from a group for inappropriate contact with members. 

So yeah...long way to go...but it's a start.

What hit me was “this group polices Olympics and this group polices public education”. IOW groups have their separate area and no way to check each other’s records. Like in the day before national checks and someone would just move to another state.

Question for me is: SafeSport has holes in its protections. What, if anything, are they doing to correct the shortcomings

Whut?  And they know?  That’s just plain willful negligence.

On “Cheer”, the perv was reported to safesport and they did nothing.  The kid’s tiger mom went to the FBI.

Another HS band director sentenced to 7 years after pleading guilty.  Former director at Hopkinsville High School in Christian County, Kentucky.

Note the last paragraph about his former wife, who was an assistant county attorney, was charged with witness tampering. 😳

This school is right down the street from my old house in Aurora. This wasn’t the first incident at that school, either.
