News media reported that Replogle was accused of inappropriately touching students during the dance.
The former director pleaded not guilty to the charges on October 1, before the case was dismissed in Tulsa Municipal Court on November 4.
Replogle’s teaching license had to be considered by the board, led by Public Schools Superintendent Ryan Walters, among other high-profile cases including Greg Werner, the former Poteau High School football coach, and Shawnee Superintendent Aaron Espolt.
