JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WSMV) - A petition has been launched in an effort to remove a Washington County Board of Education member and the district’s superintendent over comments made toward a student during an early-April meeting.
During a BOE meeting that was streamed on YouTubeon April 2, board member Keith Ervin can be heard saying the following to a student he was sitting next to:
“God, you’re hot. Do you know that? Where do you go to school at?”
Directly after Ervin’s comments to the student, laughter can be heard throughout the meeting and then the meeting continues on, seemingly with no acknowledgement of the exchange.
Not long after the meeting, a petition was launched in an effort to remove Ervin and Washington County Schools Superintendent Jerry Boyd. So far, it’s garnered nearly 2,500 signatures.
“It is imperative that we take action now to hold these officials accountable. We demand the immediate removal of both Jerry Boyd and Keith Ervin from their positions on the Washington County Board of Education. Their continued presence undermines the trust and safety of the students they are meant to serve,” the petition partially reads.
If that’s my daughter, I’m definitely taking years off of his life
