Ware Shoals, SC (TLS). Jane Blackwell, who was the principal at Ware Shoals High School in Ware Shoals, South Carolina when the news broke concerning a cheerleader sex scandal involving a school employee, has resigned from the position to which she was reassigned.
After a lengthy hearing of the school board that lasted for days back in April, Blackwell was not allowed to continue as principal of the high school but was reassigned to a different position within the district.
Apparently Blackwell was not satisfied with her new job--a job that took her away from the classroom and schools.
In a sharply-worded letter of resignation, Blackwell left the door open for a return to the district, provided the board allows her to resume her duties as a principal somewhere in the district.
Blackwell accused the school board with incompetence in its handling of the Jill Moore cheerleader sex scandal at the high school.
Moore was accused of sexual activity with a male student while serving as cheerleader coach at Ware Shoals High School, but because the student is over the age of consent, no charges were filed against Moore.
However, Moore was charged with several counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor when she confessed to giving cheerleaders alcohol and cigarettes, and allegedly taking several cheerleaders off campus during school hours for sexual trysts with two National Guard recruiters.
Law enforcement officials also charged Blackwell with obstruction in their investigation of Moore.
No trial date has yet been set for either Moore or Blackwell.
The court has issued a gag order which restricts the principle parties from speaking to the media about the case.
