After more than three decades shaping Akron’s student-athletes, Joe Vassalotti is retiring as the district’s athletics coordinator. His leadership brought real change—think student leadership workshops, a new Hall of Fame, and a culture that valued every sport and coach. Vassalotti’s impact goes beyond wins and losses; he built a community where students could grow on and off the field. With his departure, what do you hope the next leader brings to Akron Public Schools athletics? How should we continue supporting our student-athletes and coaches? #Sports #Akron #StudentAthletes
