Patch's Right-to-Know Request Denied for PR Soccer Investigation Reports

Patch plans to appeal ruling.

Pine-Richland Patch's Right-to-Know request to see investigation reports about Pine-Richland's soccer program and its coach, Jodi Chmielewski, has been denied. Pine-Richland Patch plans to appeal the decision by the school district's Right-To-Know officer to withhold the reports.

Call it the battle of the AAA girls soccer teams. In the end, the Seneca Valley Raiders defeated the No. 1-ranked Pine-Richland Lady Rams, 2-0. Both teams had strong shots on goal supported by skillful play in the midfield during the first half.
