New Hanover County Board of Education Chairperson Lisa Estep issued the following statement, referring to Greene as a ‘former’ employee.
The board has been made aware of the alleged actions of Darvin Green[e] and we regret that this happened at any New Hanover County School. Upon being notified by a student of Green[e]’s actions, the school system acted immediately, conducted an internal investigation, and then quickly notified law enforcement. Darvin Green[e] will no longer be allowed to work for New Hanover County Schools. This type of behavior will not be tolerated and this board stands ready to take action against any teacher, staff member, or administrator who violates the law or, in any way, compromises the safety or wellbeing of our students.
