Fired Clinton High School teacher charged after grade manipulation investigation
CLINTON, Tenn. (WATE) — A former Clinton High School teacher who was fired after an investigation into grade manipulation at the school is now facing criminal charges in connection to that investigation. On Friday, 6 News obtained arrest warrants that state Clay Daniel Turpin is facing 22 felony counts of destruction or tampering with government records in connection with the grade manipulation investigation. Turpin and another teacher were fired in May 2024 by the Anderson County Schools Board of Education after the investigation. THP troopers, rangers working to rescue injured hiker in Great Smoky Mountains National Park The charges against Turpin all stem from the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, according to affidavits of complaint for each charge. The charges appear to be broken apart by individual students in separate classes, however, because student information was redacted from the affidavits, a single student could be referenced in multiple charges. Each of the charges alleges that Turpin changed at least one grade a student received using his login to the Anderson County School System online system that contained student grades and assignments. Five of the charges involve allegations that a 0 grade was changed to a 100, and at least three involve changes on multiple unit tests. One affidavit alleges that Turpin changed 10 of a student's final grade unit test scores from scores ranging between 16 to 36 up to 90 each. Previously, 6 News reported that during an interview with administrative staff, Turpin said he taught credit recovery but was not trained. Two of the 22 charges stem from grade changes in credit recovery courses. The first of those involved a student that should not have been placed in the credit recovery course because of their low grades. The affidavit alleges that Turpin changing the student's grade allowed for them to pass in both English I and II courses. Sex offender charged with child abuse after deputies respond to Knox County home The second charge involving a credit recovery course involved a student in English II who had four individual scores ranging between 20 and 32. The affidavit alleges that Turpin changed each of the grades to a 90, which allowed the student to pass the course and move on to take English III and IV in the subsequent school years. 'Shocked' Community reacts to Clinton High School grade manipulation as DA commits to thorough investigation New principal named at Clinton High School after grade manipulation investigation ACSO investigation underway after two Clinton High School teachers fired after grade manipulation investigation Teacher suspended, principal resigns amid grade manipulation investigation at Clinton High School The second teacher who was fired following the investigation, Rachel Jones, is listed as a witness on each arrest warrant. Among other witnesses listed, there is also someone who worked for IT at Anderson County Schools District. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

$18 million offseason investment, Day 3 pick will be key game breakers for Cowboys in 2025
$18 million offseason investment, Day 3 pick will be key game breakers for Cowboys in 2025 With KaVontae Turpin's development and Jaydon Blue's addition, the Cowboys should be explosive in way not seen in years in Dallas Speed kills in the NFL. It's not only a critical trait for playmakers, but a great way to open up the field and create ancillary opportunities for others. For years the Dallas Cowboys have been missing that explosive element to their offense. It's not that they didn't have any fast players, they just couldn't get those fast players on the field in meaningful roles. In 2025 that all stands to change. First-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer has insinuated he plans to get the most from his personnel this season. And by re-signing resident speedster KaVontae Turpin in March and drafting game-breaking lightning bolt Jaydon Blue in April, he has the pieces in place to make it all happen. For Turpin it may be a matter of timing. The former TCU standout and USFL MVP has taken some time to digest the many demands of the offense. His production has increased year over year in Dallas, and 2025 might just be the year he officially breaks out as an offensive weapon. 'I think he's a dynamic weapon,' Schottenheimer said of Turpin. 'I can't say enough about his growth in the understanding of the football scheme over the last couple years. The game changing plays he's made for us, dynamic weapon. There's really nothing he can't do, we're moving him in positions that two years ago we would [think] I don't know if that would work out.' 2024 marked career highs in receptions and rushing attempts for Turpin. His ability to stretch the field and take any ball to the house puts defenses on notice. And Schottenheimer's desire to use motion at the snap along condensed formations, makes Turpin a key cog in the Cowboys machine. Based on statements from Schottenheimer and Turpin's shiny new three-year, $18 million deal, the three-year veteran is likely to post career highs in both offensive categories once again in 2025. Blue, the Cowboys' new rookie running back, stands to impact the offense in many of the same ways. Blue posted a 4.38 40-time with a 1.52 10-yard split at the NFL Combine this year. His ability as a rusher and receiver opens up a wide range of possibilities for Schottenheimer as a play-caller. Unlike Turpin, Blue is built rather stoutly. He may not be an old school bell cow RB, but he's certainly capable of being a committee leader. It seems the only limit with Turpin and Blue will be Schottenheimer's imagination. Between the two, Dallas should be able to offer opponents a steady dose of speed. Together with master separator CeeDee Lamb and new, contested-ball maestro George Pickens, the Cowboys offense is a well-rounded attack sure to give opponents fits. As long as Dallas can properly utilize the speed of Turpin and Blue, the Cowboys offense should be more explosive than they've been in quite some time.

Penalty Decision Correct But Clear Yellow Card Missed – Mixed Evening For Turpin In Inter Milan 3-3 Barcelona Champions League Thriller
Penalty Decision Correct But Clear Yellow Card Missed – Mixed Evening For Turpin In Inter Milan 3-3 Barcelona Champions League Thriller Referee Clement Turpin had something of a mixed evening in yesterday's Champions League thriller between Barcelona and Inter Milan. Today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, argue that Turpin got the major penalty decision right, but missed a clear yellow card. Advertisement Clement Turpin was the referee for yesterday's marquee Champions League clash between Barcelona and Inter Milan. The accomplished French referee did have his hands full. However, it was not really a match full of refereeing controversy. There were a couple notable incidents, though. Turpin Gets It Right With Penalty Decision In Inter Milan Vs Barcelona MUNICH, GERMANY – APRIL 19: Referee. Clement. Turpin awards a penalty to. Manchester City for handball by. Dayot Upamecano of. FC Bayern Munich (Not Pictured) during the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg match between FC Bayern München and Manchester City at Allianz Arena on April 19, 2023 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) In the view of the Gazzetta, Turpin was correct not to point to the penalty spot following a coming-together between Frenkie de Jong and Hakan Calhanoglu inside the Inter area. Barcelona midfielder de Jong was adamant that it should have been a penalty. Advertisement However, Turpin viewed it as two players fairly going for the same ball. In the view of the Gazzetta, this was the correct decision from the referee. Meanwhile, argues the Gazzetta, it was correct for Turpin not to give a penalty for a challenge by Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni on Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal inside the Nerazzurri area. Obvious Yellow Card Missed – Olmo On Thuram Meanwhile, Inter striker Marcus Thuram wanted a yellow card for Dani Olmo after the Spanish midfielder raked his ankle with the studs of his boot. And in the view of the Gazzetta, it should have been a booking for the painful challenge. Advertisement Then, the newspaper argues, the yellow card for Nerazzurri midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu was the correct decision. There was also a clear handball by Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez that prevented Nicolo Barella going through on ball, and Turpin failed to spot it.
