Editor's Note: John Bernstein, a recent Lexington High graduate, wrote this letter to Superintendent of Schools Paul Ash in support of Athletic Director Naomi Martin, who was recently suspended for a week for doctoring an email sent to Middlesex League athletic directors. Bernstein asked that his letter be posted to Patch. Dear Superintendent Ash, I am a recent Lexington High alumnus, former track and cross-country runner and current collegiate athlete at the University of Rochester. I wanted to provide a word of support for Naomi Martin on behalf of the many athletes she has helped and supported throughout their high school careers. As a captain for several teams and sports editor for the high school paper, I had the pleasure of meeting …

John Igoe, the man who initiated an online petition calling for the immediate removal of Lexington’s athletic director, told Patch he won't necessarily push for her ouster.
After news broke that Lexington’s athletic director admitted to doctoring an email and suggesting a lawsuit would be imminent if the Middlesex League did not change its basketball schedule, there was outage among some in the Lexington community. One resident, John Igoe, a father whose children are all in or out of college, started a petition calling for, among other things, the immediate termination of Naomi Martin, the athletic director at Lexington High. By creating the petition, Igoe said his intention was to establish a position more than it was to actively mount an opposition. “It’s all about accountability, ethics and the violation of a code of conduct that we can explain to our children,” Igoe said. “For this particular issue, I was…

A Change(.org) gonna come?
An online petition is calling for, among other things, the dismissal of Lexington’s athletic director, who admitted last week to doctoring an email that immediately preceded the Middlesex League’s Title IX-driven decision to abandon its doubleheader basketball schedule. Last week, Naomi Martin, the athletic director at Lexington High, was given a week of unpaid leave after it came to light that she had fabricated information attributed to a Lexington parent in a November email to athletic directors across the Middlesex League. On Jan. 19, Superintendent of Schools Paul Ash sent an email to that same audience attempting to “correct the record” and calling Martin’s actions “unacceptable.” Earlier this week, a petition hit the interwebs …

A school department spokesperson confirmed today, Jan. 23, Naomi Martin will be suspended without pay, beginning tomorrow for fabricating information in an email to Middlesex League athletic directors.
Lexington Athletic Director Naomi Martin has been suspended without pay for one week after admitting she doctored portions of an email from a parent, which she included in her own communication with Middlesex League athletic directors. The suspension begins tomorrow, Jan. 24, as the Globe has reported and a spokesperson for the Lexington Public Schools confirmed. In the group email, sent on Nov. 15, Martin requests permission from her colleagues to allow Lexington to play a single-gender basketball schedule in order to bring the program into compliance with Title IX. She also states in the email that a Lexington parent had informed school officials threatened a lawsuit and was “prepared to file her complaint against the entire Middlesex …

The boys varsity soccer squads from Lexington and Reading Memorial high schools played to a 1-1 tie on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The Minutemen controlled the action but not the scoreboard as Lexington High’s varsity soccer squad and the Rockets of Reading Memorial played to a 1-1 tie Tuesday afternoon at Lexington’s Lincoln Field. Things started a bit slowly and the two sides felt each other out for several minutes before Lexington’s offensive attack began to dominate the ball. But it was the Rockets who fired first. After a few minutes of back-and-forth play, Reading midfielder Aaron Lelacheur drove one past a Lexington defender backpedaling into the goal after keeper Joe McGruder left the net to attempt to stop ball during a scramble. Lexington, for its part, did not seriously threaten at all during the first half, but ramped up the pressure after the break. Just…
