"The Chestatee High administration was first made aware of the allegations against Coach Web Daniel on the morning of November 17, 2017. 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. The school resource officer, who is an employee of the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, took the student’s statement and submitted it in to the Sheriff’s Office, which started law enforcement’s investigation into the matter.



"During the course of this ongoing investigation, the Chestatee administration and the Office of the Superintendent of the Hall County School District has provided needed support and cooperation to law enforcement officials and will continue to do so.



"As a district, we are truly saddened by the incident because the care and safety of our students is our top priority. We commend the Chestatee High School administration for working as a team with their school resource officer to give these serious allegations the immediate attention deserved, which was followed by the necessary action of suspending Mr. Daniel from all teaching and coaching duties during the course of the investigation. As noted in the media release sent early this morning, Coach Web Daniel has presented a letter of resignation to the Hall County School District."
