It would be a big loss to the athletic department and the students if this position was eliminated and Coach Bertrand was no longer given the opportunity to coach track.

I saw the emotional growth and encouragement under his guidance. My grandson had mentioned that the coach runs with the team, and i was rather surprised to hear about this. As a retired Physical Therapist, I have worked with a wide range of care for 38 years, from neonatal to geriatrics and what is the common thread for their recovery is the human spirit. Mr. Bertrand has portrayed that spirit within my grandson. i know in the education system is to develop the student to the next level and provide the skills for the real world. My grandson has now parlayed his running knowledge and finished the Seattle 1/2 marathon. We are so proud of him in running with other marathoners that are accomplishing their own goals during the Seattle run. Thank you Mr. Bertrand in showing my grandson the spirit of endeavor for his life.

I've learned so much more than the mere skill set behind running, and he's opened up opportunities for me to fully experience every situation I encounter. Love this guy and fully believe he should continue to coach the sport he loves

In one season my daughter's belief in herself and her running abilities increased ten fold. He increased her awareness to healthy eating, healthy living and gave her skill to carry into adulthood.

You disrespect your positions on the board and dishonor yourselves. Infamo!

Even though I had Asthma and would never be a competitive vital aspect of the team, I was supported and encouraged to be healthy and do my best. It is heart wrenching the school board would deny future students this same support. Time to "go in a different direction" with the members of the school board if we want what's best for our children!

If that is the case then those government class teachers should be let go as well since they require students to earn hours by campaigning for people running in a political campaign. Wow-a positive influence to our children is being disregarded. If you look at the responses each person has said how he has encouraged others to reach their best. He has kept kids actively running and even if they aren't the best runner he still encourages them to try. Keep Coach Bertrand on for a positive influence in the a otherwise not so positive world for our teens. As a parent of 5 boys I needed all the help I could get to keep my children on the right path. After all it takes a village .

He has given so much of himself to his students. His service to the community deserves to be commended. He does not deserve to be treated in this manner. This is simply one more way the Everett School District Administration has chosen to show that they no longer support or have trust in their employees. They no longer care about the students that they are there to teach. The Administration has proven, time and again, that they only care about covering their own behinds and that is all.

]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:44:54 UTC 18437636 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18437613?utm_medium=rss Bertrand has always had something more to offer his students and athletes than just a curriculum or workout. He has always put his students/athletes first. Its disappointing that the district would make a choice like this. I would think the district would put more thought into a decision like this.

In grade school, I used to come in last in every running race I competed in until I met Beet. He saw the potential and didn't give up on me. Nowadays everyone knows me as a runner and how it inspired me to lead others to run and be active. I have led teams to run their first race, complete their fitness goals and make an active lifestyle a priority. I urge the Distict to reinstate Bert for the sake of the kids and the positive ripple effect he has had on so many.
