Nashville, TN, July 21, 2026 —

Adam Ellithorpe, the father of a student allegedly exposed to nude photos by a teacher, has declared his candidacy for the Clarksville Montgomery County School Board. The announcement comes in the wake of an arrest involving the teacher, Matthew Vedder, who faces charges of supplying obscene material to a minor.

Ellithorpe has publicly voiced significant concerns regarding the security of student information within the school district. These concerns are heightened by the fact that Vedder’s wife holds a directorial position within the school system, adding another layer to the perceived vulnerability of student data.

The incident that brought these issues to light involved Vedder allegedly showing nude photos to a student. Following this event, Vedder was arrested and subsequently charged. The details surrounding the arrest and the specific nature of the obscene material were not further elaborated in the provided information.

Ellithorpe’s decision to run for the school board appears to be directly linked to the alleged incident and his broader concerns about administrative oversight and student safety protocols. His campaign is expected to focus on issues related to data privacy, teacher conduct, and the overall security measures in place to protect students.

Further details regarding the timeline of the alleged incident, the specific date of Ellithorpe’s candidacy announcement, and the ongoing legal proceedings against Matthew Vedder were not immediately available. Information regarding the scope of Vedder’s wife’s directorial role and its potential connection to the alleged incident was also not provided.
