Colquitt County (Moultrie, Ga.) will not be suspended over a head-butting incident that occurred last December.
"He's certainly been very successful, but I think that he will, hopefully, look for new ways to motivate the kids and continue to be successful," said Paul Shaw, who was a member of a state board that was reviewing the situation.
Propst, who rose to national prominence thanks in part to the MTV reality show
Two-A-Days, was facing a year-long suspension but instead will receive only a reprimand.
Under Propst's guidance, the Packers have won back-to-back state titles and are considered a strong threat to three-peat.
Colquitt County opens the 2016 season Aug. 20 in the Georgia Dome against Mill Creek.
