At last night’s special meeting, the Winston-Salem-Forsyth County Board of Education unanimously voted to suspend school system attorney Drew Davis pending an SBI investigation that the system failed to report allegations of teacher misconduct:
The investigation stems from allegations made in early May that a teacher at an unidentified school took indecent liberties with students. Although school administrators reported the allegations to Davis, those allegations apparently were not passed on to law-enforcement officials.
“There was a determination not to do that,” Donny Lambeth, the chairman of the school board said after a three-hour closed meeting. “We believe it was bad judgment, as we have seen the allegations by the students.”
Davis was suspended with pay. Note also it does not appear that the Winston-Salem Journal is allowing comments on this morning’s story. Emotions run high when the schools are involved.
