Dan Liggett, a physical education teacher, also resigned effective April 30th. Liggett was named in an affidavit about the Daugherty case as being aware of the alleged relationship prior to being approached by the school’s principal. It is uncertain why he was placed on administrative leave by the district.

Both men’s resignations were accepted during a special school board meeting held Tuesday afternoon that lasted just over two minutes. Diane Ostrowski, the district’s chief communications officer, said the reason Liggett resigned and any stipulations are confidential. Superintendent Martha Bruckner said Liggett negotiated the resignation date with the district’s lawyer.

Liggett will remain on paid administrative leave. He’ll earn $11,252 in salary for the months of February, March and April. Daugherty faces two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, five counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee, one count of sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of lascivious conduct with a minor, according to court records.

He is set to be arraigned Feb. 9. A jury trial is currently scheduled to start March 24. He is currently free after posting a $10,000 bond.
