GREENVILLE, S.C. (BFMG) — A Greenville County School Board member is facing charges of domestic violence after an incident involving her husband.
Sarah Dulin, who has served on the board since her election in 2020, was arrested Tuesday following allegations of an assault at her home. According to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, Dulin struck her husband in the head with a tumbler mug, resulting in visible injuries. As a result, she was charged with third-degree domestic violence.
Dulin, who was released on a $5,242 personal recognizance bond, has publicly volunteered with Safe Harbor Women’s Shelter, a nonprofit organization that aids survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. In her biography on the Greenville County School Board of Trustees website, she highlights her work with the organization, which provides shelter, supportive services, and education to the community.
Greenville County School Board Chair Dr. Carolyn Styles has responded to the arrest with a statement,
"I was made aware that a Trustee was arrested, and I have informed the Board of Trustees. I will continue to monitor the situation and keep the Board informed of any developments. As always, the Board remains committed to ensuring the children in our community receive the best education possible and can thrive in their current and future pursuits.”
Known as a “conservative” member of the Board, Dulin has championed low spending and the rejection all proposals that would raise taxes during her time as a Trustee. In November 2024 she told The Post and Courier that parents in her district were concerned about safety first and foremost. She led a committee over the summer of 2024 that erected policy for banning books from public school shelves that school staff or board members deemed “inappropriate”.
Dulin is facing a misdemeanor that carries a punishment of up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $2,500, and apart from her bond, she is ordered not to contact the victim, according to online court records.
