Teaching ethical behavior to high school athletes should be a high priority for any coach or school official, and it’s obviously important to the administrators who control the purse strings of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
In his most-recent column, Eric Sondheimer reports that LAUSD spent $194,030 this past year in a contract with the Josephson Institute in a campaign to teach sportsmanship and other positive character traits to athletes, coaches and administrators.
