Stonington — The school system fired an unidentified high school coach in December 2019 for sending "inappropriate" Snapchat messages to two female students.
The firing was revealed Tuesday, when the state Office of the Child Advocate published a 52-page report that criticized school officials for their handling of the sexual harassment allegations against former high school teacher and coach Timothy Chokas.
The OCA report states that during its investigation, another set of allegations emerged about a male coach's "inappropriate communications with two minor girls," one of whom was 15.
The termination of the coach was never mentioned by school administrators in the monthly personnel reports that were distributed to school board members at the time. Those reports list resignations, retirements, leaves, appointments and other personnel changes.
