Milford Board Fires Athletic Director Aaron Zupka After Investigation and Financial Allegations
The unanimous vote followed a resolution alleging $91,000 in misused sponsorship funds despite investigators recommending only a reprimand.
Overview
- Milford Exempted Village Schools voted unanimously Thursday evening to terminate high school athletic director Aaron Zupka and advanced a resolution to finalize his dismissal.
- Zupka was placed on administrative leave in November as the district hired Ennis Britton Consulting Group to investigate concerns in the athletics program.
- Investigators found Zupka failed to escalate rumors that a coach possessed inappropriate photos of athletes, though they noted district leaders acted promptly once formal allegations surfaced on April 24.
- The board’s resolution alleges at least $91,000 in misappropriated sponsorship funds, missing receipts for transactions, and one booster credit card charge for vacation parking.
- Zupka’s attorney denies the allegations, says he will seek a hearing and consider a defamation suit, and the district says the termination process now moves to a referee review if requested.
