Officials launched an investigation in May, only revealing it involved Pizzi's workplace conduct.

Pizzi had been placed on administrative leave pending investigation of the complaint, but resigned shortly afterwards.

Pizzi refused to be interviewed as part of the district's investigation, Superintendent Daniel E. Gutekanst said in a public statement Friday.

The complaint never involved students, according to the school district.
