An Illinois school district announced Thursday that the athletic director at Peoria Heights High School has resigned over “inappropriate” text and social media communications with recent female graduates.

As reported by the Peoria Journal Star, a district release states:

“The administration of Peoria Heights School District was recently made aware of information circulating on social media indicating that a former employee, Matt King, was involved in contacting a number of female recent graduates of the District through text message and social media following their graduation. The administration immediately commenced an investigation into the matter.

“While school representatives have seen no evidence of illegal conduct, the evidence reviewed by school representatives showed communications which were inappropriate for a teacher to be sending to recent graduates of the District.” read more at athleticbusiness.com
