The fallout from a former Indianapolis Public Schools counselor, accused of having sex with students continues on this Tuesday. WRTV-TV reports that two IPS school officials have resigned in connection to the proper legal reporting of the alleged child seduction activities of Shana Taylor. Both, Lela Hester and Shalon Dabney have resigned, effective June 30. Hester served in the human resources department as Human Resource Services Operations Officer and Employee Relations Coordinator, respectively. Taylor is heading to court immediately after the Independence Day holiday. WTHR-TV reports Shana Taylor’s trial will begin on Tuesday, July 5. This sex scandal has led to a firestorm of criticism for the district and the alternative school where she worked regarding the district waiting six days to report the improper activity to state officials and who knew about the incidents and didn’t follow the procedure to report by law. IPS board members worked late into the night attempting to come to agreement on whether another employee, Deb Leser, the director of student services at Positive Support Academy should be fired for not alerting police or the state when she learned of Taylor’s alleged activities.

Buddy Ryan, who coached two defenses that won Super Bowl titles and whose twin sons Rex and Rob have been successful NFL coaches, has died. His agent, James Solano, said Ryan died Tuesday morning in Kentucky. He did
not give a cause. The always outspoken Ryan was a linebackers coach for the 1968 New York Jets and coordinated the ground-breaking 46 defense for the `85 Chicago Bears, one of the NFL’s greatest defenses. He was a
head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1986-90, and for the Arizona Cardinals in 1994-95, compiling a 55-55-1 overall record. Ryan was 82.
