On another occasion, he was censured by the board for “inappropriate behavior.” The solicitor previously found evidence of inappropriate social media postings in an investigation authorized by the school board, and Kemmerer took the posts down. Several voiced their concerns about Kemmerer’s past and more recent social media posts at recent school board meetings. The board noted numerous district parents and resident have expressed “real and compelling concerns” about Kemmerer’s fitness to serve as a school director. It also directed the solicitor, “to the extent allowed by law, to assist any citizen of the school district in any legal effort to remove Mr. The board authorized the district solicitor to “undertake legal research in order to determine if there is any legal course” to remove Kemmerer from his elected post. In the event Kemmerer doesn’t step down, the board recommended that he be removed from all committee assignments and “any other position of responsibility on the board.” They concluded that he “can no longer effectively sit as a school board member representing the Derry Area School District” and his continued presence on the panel “would severely harm the mission of the school district now and in the future.” The board at its Thursday meeting called for Kemmerer’s immediate resignation. The seven school directors said Kemmerer’s posts are “the antithesis of everything that board members, both individually and collectively, stand for.” In a lengthy resolution, the board condemned social media posts by Kemmerer, indicating that statements he’s made “relating to women and girls, people of faith and individuals with intellectual disabilities, more particularly, students and individuals suffering from Down Syndrome” were “wholly inappropriate and indefensible.” The Derry Area School Board this week issued a 7-0 no-confidence vote regarding one of its members, Sean Kemmerer, and asked him to step down.
