BEAVER, Pa. — The Beaver High School principal has resigned.
Steve Wellendorf's resignation will take effect Oct. 31, according to Superintendent Carrie Rowe.
Wellendorf was placed on administrative leave in August.
Details were never released because his leave was being treated as a personnel issue.
Wellendorf and his religious group were accused of bullying Rowe because she is gay. The controversy created a rift in the school district.

The release said Wellendorf was aware concerns prior to his leave were not related to his "religious beliefs affiliations or social opinions, nor were they the result of any personal animus directed toward him by any District employee or School Board member."
They also said the concerns did not involve criminal allegations.
In a release, the district said Wellendorf is leaving his position "in good standing."
