Longtime teacher and coach Jack L. Schreiner, who led the Lawrence High School boy’s basketball team to the Class 6A state championship in 1995, resigned Tuesday from the Lawrence school district.

“I have received and accepted his resignation,” Supt. Randy Weseman said in a statement released to the media.

Weseman declined to make any other comment. Schreiner could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Schreiner, 55, had been suspended with pay since last month following an allegation of window peeping Oct. 18 at the home of a 47-year-old Lawrence woman. As a result, Schreiner was cited in municipal court.

A judge last week approved the woman’s request for a restraining order in Douglas County District Court, after it was noted she had information from a police report that Schreiner admitted doing the same thing on two other occasions.

Randy R. McCalla, an Olathe attorney representing Schreiner, told the judge Schreiner wouldn’t oppose the restraining order but wasn’t admitting the allegations.

“Our hope is to have the matter resolved and allow everyone in this case to go on with their lives,” McCalla said.

Schreiner’s suspension from the district did not presuppose guilt, Weseman said at the time.

Schreiner joined Lawrence schools in 1978, teaching seventh- and eighth-graders at West Junior High School. He moved on to Lawrence High School in 1993. He taught social studies there until Free State High School was built in 1997. Schreiner most recently taught American history. He has coached golf for the past nine years and he was head basketball coach at each of the high schools successively since 1992.

Steve Grant, Free State High School athletic director, said a search for someone within the district to replace Schreiner as Free State coach on an interim basis would begin immediately.

Grant said he hopes to have the interim position filled by the end of the week.
