Earlier this year in May, an Eagleville High School coach was accused of inappropriately touching a student. The incident was caught on a cell phone video recorded by another student.
Travis Holland coaches baseball at the school and is also a history teacher. Evidently, an investigation into Holland shows that this was not his first time to touch or to allow for a student to touch him in a manner that could be viewed as inappropriate.
The investigation into the teacher showed that he would routinely rub the backs of students.
The investigation into Holland involved 12 teachers and 7 students. Of that number, at least one teacher talked about how Holland's actions concerned them. Another coach also mentioned Holland's actions to a law enforcement officer. A parent reported that Holland would talk to his students on SnapChat, a social media account often used by teens.
The former baseball coach was also placed on a ten-day suspension without pay.
Eagleville is now reviewing their code of ethics.
