HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — The band director at Woodland Middle School resigned Tuesday after he was accused of exposing himself to college women while dressed in drag.

        William R. Fischer, 32, of Independence is charged with indecent exposure and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.

        Northern Kentucky University police said Mr. Fischer exposed himself to two female students at 8:30 p.m. April 1 — April Fool's Day — in a campus parking lot. He was wearing a green dress, red shoes and a blonde wig, according to a police report.

        Officers stopped Mr. Fischer as he attempted to leave the campus in a green Camaro, still dressed in drag. He was taken to the police station, where he was cited, gave a written statement and was released.

        He is scheduled to be arraigned at 10 a.m. Tuesday in Campbell County District Court.

        The Kenton County Board of Education suspended Mr. Fischer on Monday when he returned to work from spring break. He resigned the next day, according to a statement released by the district.

        Mr. Fischer, who is married, worked nearly 10 years for the district. He was a music teacher and band director at the middle school when he resigned. He did not return messages left at his home Tuesday afternoon.

        Woodland Middle School Principal David Morrison sent a letter home to parents Tuesday that said a music-certified substitute would teach Mr. Fischer's classes until a replacement could be hired. The letter did not say why Mr. Fischer resigned, but said parents could call the school if they had any questions.

        Superintendent Susan Cook would not answer questions concerning the case, but released a two-paragraph statement. It outlined the charges and confirmed that Mr. Fischer had resigned.
