What if you knew that a parent advocate at Dunston Elementary School in North Charleston had child pornography images on his computer? Would you leave him in place while the sheriff investigated? That's what the Human Resources Office of CCSD did.
Then a year and a half later this same individual was reported to the police for child molestation.
Finally, nearly two years after the original pornography finding, CCSD fired him a day after he was arrested by the North Charleston Police Department. Long-time CCSD employee Marvin Gethers died the following year while awaiting trial.

As Lowcountry Source has pointed out, "no personnel action was take against Gethers and he was even promoted from student concern specialist to parent advocate at Dunston Elementary School after being flagged by IT. The Chief Human Relations Officer for the district at the time of the incident, Bill Briggman, is still serving in that capacity."
The Charleston County School District has reacted to the allegations by ignoring their import. Last April the district paid out $300,000 in a settlement to a Dunston Elementary family.
