From Observer-Reporter staff writer Dawn Goodman …
Ed Dalton has accepted the job as Trinity Area School District’s varsity football coach and weightlifting coach, Superintendent Paul Kasunich said after Thursday’s school board meeting.
After more than a year of contentious board meetings about whether to keep Dalton as football coach and athletic director, the board voted two weeks ago to hire him back as coach as long as outstanding issues were resolved.
Kasunich said the grievance filed by the teachers union about Dalton’s ouster as football coach resolved itself because he was offered the coaching position again. The board chose not to stipulate that Dalton drop his lawsuit against the district over the decision not to renew his contract as athletic director, Kasunich said.

Good for Dalton, tired of the drama. Hopefully Kasunich has to go through similar hoops when and if his day in court comes for his domestic charges!
You talk about "life lessons". The parents, the players and fans have fought hard for what was right. They never quit and thank goodness there were a few board members that hung in there also. Come to think of it, thank goodness that Ed Dalton never walked. This board has been abusive to him and the district. Their agendas are what brought them in to office....in particular one BM's agenda goes back 7 years and his agenda has been clearly stated by both him and his family. Regardless, in the end, the good outlasted the bad. I would like to think that at least for a while that this board will leave Ed Dalton and Trinity athletics alone but I won't keep my fingers crossed. It's been a 15 month battle and the Dalton supporters far exceed the number of board members. We won't quit!
Great news for Trinity Football. Any one who tolerates the abuse he has and is still around really loves what he does and the kids is coaches and teaches!!!!
