Two high school principals suspended following allegations of sexual harassment

Explicit cell phone pictures, text messages, as well as videos teachers said were sent to them were provided to the district for investigation.

Two Shelby County Schools principals are suspended with pay accused of sexual harassment. 

“In one of those cases, there were at least 37 text messages and a plethora of pictures,” said Keith Williams, the executive director of the education association. “Just lots of things. Video capture, voicemail.”  

Explicit cell phone pictures, text messages, as well as videos, were provided to the district for investigation. MSCEA said the messages were sent to teachers.   

“The teacher from Kingsbury brought it,” said Williams. "All she wanted was out. She said, ‘I don’t want to go back.’”  

Williams said the evidence was taken to the Shelby County School District about two months ago. He said it’s mindboggling the matter has taken this long to be resolved.   

“I thought that they would be quickly resolved and not dragged out as long as they have been. I don’t know why they have not been.”  

“I just hope the district owns up to its responsibility and does what needs to be done for the sake of education and the advancement of children in this community," Williams said.
