The Story | The Messenger calls out Bridgeport ISD for failing to be less than forth-coming about the resignation of volleyball coach Ray Kramer last year - a resignation that had been attributed to "personal reasons."

"He had visited some porn sites, and the district confronted him about it," the paper wrote. He resigned one day after he was informed about the investigation. |
