Wahpeton Teacher Resigns to Pursue “Other Career Options”

A Wahpeton teacher and coach who was accused last year of abusing two elementary school students has resigned.

Kelly McNary quit in late September after nearly 25 years with the Wahpeton School District.

Superintendent Rick Jacobson says McNary told district officials that he was pursuing other career options.

McNary was put on administrative leave last December while authorities looked into the allegations against him.

The investigation concluded he used inappropriate conduct and language, though he was never charged with a crime.
