Ashley teacher suspended

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — An Ashley High School teacher is on paid suspension while the school district and the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office look into an allegation against him.

Jason Daniels is a special education teacher at Ashley. A school district spokeswoman said the district suspended him with pay December 3 pending an investigative suspension.

A Sheriff’s Office spokesman said a detective is investigating, but could provide no other details about the allegations. Cpl. Jerry Brewer said an incident report from Dec. 2 listed only “other offense,” the name of the victim and the school’s address as the place where it was taken. Brewer said the report was taken when deputies went to the school to stand by while Daniels was escorted from the building.

So far neither the school district can say what the allegation is against Daniels or who else it involved.
