THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Page 5 School Committee approves new locker room supervision policy By Adam Swift A new team supervision policy in the Revere school athletics handbook will give coaches greater oversight over what happens in the locker room. Last week, the School Committee signed off on the new policy, which was presented by Athletic Director Frank Shea. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly said the new policy is a result of new state legislation triggered by incidents in locker rooms in other districts in the state. Parents and students will have to sign off on the policy before sports seasons begin, as they do with several other athletic policies. “This policy specifi cally deals with coaches and supervision of athletes, specifi cally in locker rooms and team changing room areas,” said Shea. “It addresses DONUT | FROM Page 3 According to the company’s website, there are franchising opportunities for Dandee Donuts primarily throughout the South. About half of the restaurant’s business is through the sale of donuts, while the other half is mainly breakfast sandwiches, burgers, eggs and other diner menu items, according to Pilarski. “It looks like a great spot, a vital need for adult supervision whenever students are in a coach’s care in an athletic facility both on campus and off campus.” Shea said the policy brings awareness to coaches that they have to be more vigilant in all areas, and it strengthens the athlete handbook by including policies similar to ones being updated and used in other districts. “In the last couple of years, there have been some incidents in surrounding districts that have centered around team rooms or locker rooms, so schools are strengthening their policies by adding language such as this,” said Shea. “It is a release of liability policy that tells students and parents that they will be monitored while in locker rooms.” The policy doesn’t mean that a coach will be a constant presand I look forward to having another breakfast place around,” said License Commissioner Linda Guinasso. The commission unanimously approved the license. David Ferrara, the manager of the Revere location, said the new restaurant will have several benefi ts for the city. “We’re looking to put a lot of people to work, so it’s going to be great for the community,” he said.

Some of the most high-profi le high school locker room incidents came to light in Danvers last year, where several teams were accused of using racist language in their locker rooms. Shea said the schools will provide a changing stall or privacy curtains for any students who want them, as he said is already the case in almost all of the district’s locker room facilities. “Just having kids aware that coaches are there gives them an atmosphere of safety and it will protect us from anything bad happening going forward,” said Shea. License Commissioner Daniel Occena said the franchise chose a good location for its business. “I’m excited to try your donuts, and I think it will be great for Revere – this twist to a breakfast business,” he said. The Dandee Donut Factory boasts over 50 varieties of handmade donuts, including chocolate dip French crullers, maple bacon and peanut butter & jelly. DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT!
