East Coweta

High School is looking for a new band director.

Superintendent

of Education Richard Brooks confirmed this week that band director Dennis

Naughton had tendered his resignation.

"He didn't

give any reason for it," Brooks said.

Naughton will

continue to work at the school until the end of the year, Brooks added.

Naughton was

involved in a controversy earlier this year when he allegedly made a band

student strip to his underwear during a football game.

Naughton was

suspended for two weeks without pay for the incident, but the Coweta County

Board of Education declined to fire him because of conflicting stories

about the incident.

The incident

galvanized the community and Naughton's future has been the subject of

much speculation.

Naughton could

not be reached for comment.
