Lombardi faces 4 charges at hearing

Former Cedar Rapids Washington coach Tony Lombardi has been formally charged with four counts of violating rules that govern the ethical conduct of teachers.

The Iowa Board of Educational Examiners has found "probable cause" of a violation of Board rules and has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 23-24 in Des Moines before Administrative Law Judge John Priester, who will be acting on behalf of the BoEE.

Lombardi could have his teaching license revoked, depending on how the case is resolved.

Lombardi has resigned as the football coach and baseball coach at Washington High School but has a contract to teach in the Cedar Rapids Community School district for the 2013-14 school year, pending a formal building assignment.
