NORWICH – Faculty resources have been redirected within the Norwich City School district as the position of athletic director falls vacant once again.

The position has seen an array of different faces over the past year and a half and has had no long-term director since 2000. Most recently, Dean Veenhoff served as athletic director for only two months before administrators say he left following a personnel decision. Veenhoff was hired on to serve as interim director while the district found a permanent replacement. Before coming to Norwich, Veenhoff had recently retired from nearby Gilbertsville-Mt. Upton central school.
