The Bulloch County Board of Education on Thursday night accepted Dr. Martin "Marty" Waters' resignation as Statesboro High School principal, at his request, although he had already not been offered a new contract. With Waters' current contract set to expire June 30 and the resignation effective that same date, the new action makes no difference in his pay and has no effect on the school system, officials said. Statesboro police arrested Waters May 9 on a misdemeanor charge of failure to report child abuse, and Bulloch County Schools Superintendent Charles Wilson subsequently did not recommend him for a new contract.
