Following a statement that was given to CVN from Polk School District on January 14, 2025 from Assistant Superintendent/Human Resource Officer Mark Lumpkin regarding the personnel matter of Jonathan Thomas possibly seeking the job of head Cedartown High School football coach, CVN has now reached out to the district on former coach Jamie Abrams.

Polk School District’s policy has been that they do not speak on personnel matters, but that changed after Thomas, the husband of Polk School District Superintendent Katie Thomas, gave them permission to do so.

This week, former Coach Jamie Abrams also granted PSD to release his personnel file.  CVN has sent a request for his files after his demotion from head football coach.

While Polk School District has yet to reply as of Tuesday morning, CVN has been alerted that Abrams has never had disciplinary action against him.  CVN has also learned that Abrams was also always give “positive rave observations” in his TKES evaluations, as well as his coaching reviews. 

Abrams was also recently honored by the school for his performance as the head football coach of the school, leaving question as to why the demotion.

Check back as more becomes available.
