MINNETRISTA, MINN. - The Mound Westonka High School Activities Director has resigned after backlash over student suspensions for doing the Harlem Shake at that Twin Cities area school.

Dion Koltes resigned Monday, and the school board says that's in the best interests of the district. Six varsity hockey players and two other students were suspended for doing the viral internet flash-mob dance. The hockey players missed a sectional playoff game that night, which the team lost, ending its season.

Koltes started at Mound Westonka in Aug. 2010. The district will pay him for the remainder of the school year, which amounts to nearly $26,000.
