LAWRENCE — Two weeks after Central Catholic’s dean and basketball coach resigned for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to a former student, another school employee has resigned for alleged misconduct, according to The Eagle Tribune.

John Housianitis, the social studies teacher who allegedly posted “compromising photos” of himself online, has resigned, the school’s president announced on Thursday.

Housianitis has been on administrative leave since late April. He is a former Lawrence School Committee member.

“I accept Mr. Housianitis’ resignation with regret. John’s violation of our policies was regrettable, however, it was not physically harmful to any student,” Central Catholic President Christopher Sullivan said in a statement released Thursday. “John’s service to the school and its students will long be remembered. I wish him well in the future.”
