Report on Kranicks Still in Progress

SARATOGA SPRINGS — At a February 29 Board of Education Meeting, Dr. Michael Patton, Saratoga Springs’ Superintendent of Schools, said that the district had received an “incomplete,” preliminary report from the Harris Beach law firm regarding allegations made against Saratoga’s athletic program. 

Dr. Patton said that attorneys from Harris Beach needed additional information from the district in order to complete the report. The final report is expected to be submitted “sometime within the next two weeks.” Once received by the district, the report will be released to the public. 

The review stems from claims of “a toxic culture of alleged abusive coaching” in a legal complaint filed in October of last year. Girls’ varsity cross-country and indoor track coaches Art and Linda Kranick were at the center of the allegations.
