 Google search leads to possibvle rejection of job offer of Assistant Principle at MES web posted July 23, 2009 COUNTY – Within hours of the Edgefield County School Board voting to hire Greg Morris as the Assistant Principle of Merriwether Elementary, parents and teachers began to “Google” the names of those hired - including Morris. What many found disturbed them and they began contacting school board members with concerns of an arrest of Morris for indecent exposure and possession of drugs and paraphernalia in 2006 at a North Carolina Principals and Assistant Principals Fall Leadership conference at Atlantic Beach. According to an Atlantic Beach Police Department press release, a security guard called police after they got a complaint of Morris standing naked on a hotel room balcony touching himself inappropriately. When police arrested Morris they also found a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The Brunswick County school board voted on randomly testing the district's employees for drugs three months after North Brunswick High School Assistant Principal Greg Morris was charged with possession of marijuana and indecent exposure while attending the school-related conference in Atlantic Beach, N.C. As EdgefieldDaily.com began receiving complaints about the arrest, we did our own search and found several stories reporting the arrest, but we have been unable to confirm any conviction of the charges. According to information obtained by EdgefieldDaily.com, the contract that was voted to be offered to Morris may be rescinded because of the reports. A school district official, on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the Greg Morris that was offered the position is the same Greg Morris that was named in the news articles that were widely reported. The Edgefield County School District does a background check of potential hires through the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) for charges in South Carolina; however, records from other states are not included in the search. The Edgefield County School District has yet to formally announce that the offer has been rejected. EdgefieldDaily.com will continue to follow this developing story and will report additional information as it is made available.
