The football coach at Evans High School no longer is employed by the Columbia County School District amid “an ongoing investigation” into an alleged inappropriate relationship between an employee and a former student.
The district sent a notice Thursday saying, in part: “Please know that in any situation concerning allegations of inappropriate behavior by a staff member, not only will we investigate fully, we will also use every resource available to pursue prosecution in order to keep inappropriate behavior out of classrooms and schools.”
The district sent a previous letter to parents Monday informing them of the investigation without naming Evans coach Barrett Davis.
“Safety of students and staff is a top priority, and the CCSD does not condone nor does it tolerate inappropriate relationships,” the email read.
Davis was a Georgia head coach the past seven seasons, four at Evans and three at Southeast Bulloch, where he won a 2020 region title.
Davis is a Columbia County native and graduate of Harlem High. He coached as an assistant for four seasons at another county school, Lakeside, and was on Burke County’s staff for a 2011 Class 3A championship.
