The Mount Horeb School District has fired a coach accused of engaging in “inappropriate communications” with underage students, district Superintendent Steve Salerno said Tuesday.
Dave Chancellor had been a Mount Horeb High School track-and-field and girls cross-country coach. On Monday, Salerno and Mount Horeb Police Chief Doug Vierck issued a statement saying police had been made aware Friday of “concerns regarding inappropriate communications between a coach, non-teacher employee, of the Mount Horeb School District, Mr. David Chancellor, and juvenile students.”
“Preventative measures have been put in place to ensure this person is not on or around any school district property,” the two said.
