I did not hear from the assignment secretary tonight, and am rather anxious to hear his reaction. I am both dumbfounded and sickened by the whole situation. Any thoughts from the board on this whole ugly mess would be appreciated.

I wouldn't wait for his reaction, I'd call him. Tell your friend, the local principal, that you'll get back to him, call the assigning secretary and get it straightened out at that point. But someone besides you should be dealing with that principal. He's way too upset about it. Why isn't his superior notified about his very immature and unprofessional behavior and attitude? The only question I have is the part about the local principal being your firend, and that this keeps happening at your games when those two schools play each other. Does this obnoxious principal know that you're friends? Perhaps he feels that your friendship is affecting your work. I'm not saying that you ARE playing favorites, only that it might be adding to HIS perceptions of unfairness. Why does your assigning secretary keep on giving you the games between these two teams? That seems unwise. Give the whole thing some space, deal with the principal outside the sweatbox, and perhaps there can be some forgiveness in the future.
