Evan Luzar suggests a C-minus average requirement
Beachwood Federation of Teachers President Evan Luzar supports raising the bar for athletic eligibilty in Beachwood City Schools. But he believes that the proposal to raise the academic standards for athletes goes too far. "I am fully in support of raising the standard. I think that it's a great idea," said Luzar.
