BATTLE CREEK, MI (WTVB) – Don Bussler has been reinstated as Battle Creek Lakeview girl’s varsity basketball coach, as well as to his teaching position.
He resigned Monday after being placed on administrative leave but was reinstated for his 26th season following a meeting with school officials on Thursday.
It was never revealed why Bussler was put on administrative leave. All school officials would say it was a personnel issue.
A spokesperson for the district said he was not under a criminal investigation and there was nothing harmful done to any student.
Lakeview Athletic Director Tray Cruciel issued a statement to parents Thursday announcing Bussler’s reinstatement.
Bussler missed Tuesday’s game against Coldwater, which was won by the Cardinals 57-40.
Bussler will resume his coaching duties Sunday and will be in the classroom Monday.
Lakeview’s next game will be Tuesday night at Portage Northern.
