Teacher quits after alleged garter incident

An English teacher at Western High School resigned Monday amid an investigation of an incident in which he allegedly removed a student’s candy garter with his teeth during the prom, a spokeswoman for the school system said today.

Lauren Roberts, public information officer with the Jefferson County Public Schools, said Western High Principal Louis Hughley Jr. had reassigned the teacher, Brett Coogle, to non-instructional duties on May 17.

...“Some kids were passing around prom pictures, and a staff member saw a photo that raised some concern and showed it to the principal,” Roberts said. “The photo allegedly showed him removing a candy garter with his teeth from a female student during the prom.”
