Three high school officials charged with failing to report the sexual abuse of four basketball players have been suspended without pay.
Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Rick Smith says Ooltewah head basketball coach Andre Montgomery, assistant basketball coach Karl Williams and athletic director Allard Nayadley will be suspended until the investigation into last month’s incident is complete.
He made the announcement after the Hamilton County Board of Education held an agenda work session Thursday in which it discussed clarifying its anti-bullying policies.
Three Ooltewah High School basketball players have been charged with the aggravated rape of a teammate while on a trip to Gatlinburg. The complaint against the school officials says four freshmen boys were apparently abused, but no other charges have been filed in the incident.
