The Hall County Board of Education has accepted the resignation of now-former Chestatee High School head girls basketball coach Web Daniel.
Daniel was suspended from his coaching and teaching duties on November 17 amid an inquiry from administrators into what were, at the time, unspecified allegations.
Four days later, Daniel was arrested at his Oakwood home on charges of felony sexual assault against a student and misdemeanor sexual battery. Authorities said that he was alleged to have made unwanted sexual contact with a female student at the school the day before he was suspended.
During the ordeal, Daniel submitted his resignation to the Hall County School District. That resignation was included in a personnel packet which, following an executive session, the Board of Education approved unanimously at its Monday meeting.
Hall County School District Director of Community Relations and Athletics Gordon Higgins said the decision to suspend Daniel was made quickly after the allegations came to light.
"The Chestatee High administration was first made aware of the allegations against Coach Web Daniel on the morning of November 17, 2017," Higgins said. "This prompted an immediate investigation that led to Coach Daniel’s suspension from all teaching and coaching duties that same day from the Hall County School District."
