Persky has begun the school season as the coach of Lynbrook High School's junior varsity girl's tennis team, said Rachel Zlotziver, a spokesperson for the Fremont Union High School District, in a statement. "He was a highly qualified applicant, having attended several tennis coaching clinics for youth and holds a high rating from the United States Tennis Association," Zlotziver said. The school held a meeting with the parents of tennis team members to give them background about Persky's situation, which garnered national attention. Persky was recalled from his position by voters in June 2018 after the controversial sentencing in the Stanford sexual assault case.
