Trustee Arrested in Greenville for Domestic Violence

Greenville, South Carolina – On Monday, Greenville County School Board Trustee member Sarah Adrianna Dulin was arrested and charged with third-degree domestic violence, as confirmed by the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office. The incident allegedly involved Dulin striking her husband in the head with a tumbler mug, causing injury.

Details of the Incident

According to an arrest warrant, Dulin’s husband, whose identity has not been disclosed, provided law enforcement with a written statement regarding the altercation. This incident has raised concerns within the community, especially in light of Dulin’s prominent role on the school board.

About Sarah Adrianna Dulin

Dulin, 46, resides in Simpsonville and has been serving on the Greenville County School Board since 2020. She represents Area 27. During her election campaign for the 2024-2025 term, Dulin focused on significant issues such as student and staff safety, higher teacher salaries, enhanced resources for students, and strict monitoring of tax collection and spending.

Response from the School Board

In light of the incident, Carolyn Styles, chairperson of the Greenville County School Board, addressed the situation. “I was informed that a trustee had been arrested, and I have notified the other trustees about this development,” Styles stated. She emphasized her commitment to closely monitoring the situation and keeping board members informed.

Commitment to Education and Ethics

Styles reiterated the board’s dedication to ensuring that “the children in our community receive the best education possible and can thrive in their current and future pursuits.” The board has a strict code of ethics that outlines that trustees must adhere to all applicable laws and regulations.

Possibility of Action Against Dulin

Under South Carolina law, only the governor has the authority to suspend a trustee from office. As of now, there is no indication that such action will be taken pending further investigation. The implications of Dulin’s arrest could extend not only to her role on the board but also to her reputation as an advocate for educational improvements in the district.

The arrest has introduced a layer of uncertainty regarding Dulin’s position and her ongoing commitment to the school board’s objectives. The community will likely follow the developments closely, as they could impact ongoing educational initiatives and public trust in the board.
