WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WCYB) — A Washington County, Tennessee, School Board member is facing scrutiny over comments made during a board meeting on Thursday.
The video shows board member Keith Ervin calling a student "hot" during a presentation and also touching her on the shoulder.
We have been told she is a senior at David Crockett High School, and was presenting as a student board member.
Superintendent Jerry Boyd said as a elected official, he should speak on the incident himself. ... We will have more tonight from concerned parents.
