A hearing initially set Wednesday in Montgomery to determine if Steve White’s teaching certificate would be revoked has been postponed and moved to Limestone County.

The Limestone County Board of Education was notified the hearing has been postponed until Oct. 11. State officials said it was postponed due to a motion filed by the administrative law judge apparently to allow students and other witnesses to be heard.

State Superintendent of Education Joe Morton sent White a letter notifying him of a hearing to consider revoking his teaching certificate.

The motion to postpone the hearing was filed Friday, said Mitch Edwards, the director of communications with the state school system.

White, an eighth grade science teacher at West Limestone High School for 10 years, was dismissed by Board of Education members in May after parents complained their children saw obscene video clips in class. Students testified at White’s appeal hearing that their teacher showed a clip of an animated Bill Clinton in graphic sex acts, a woman drinking a beer with her bikini top pulled down and a star covering her breast and other clips.

Following an investigation in which White’s classroom computer was confiscated, the board members voted 6-1 to dismiss White. The firing was upheld on appeal in a ruling released last month.

Following the ruling, White withdrew his candidacy for the District 4 seat on the State House of Representatives. He was running as a Democrat.
