TEXAS SCHOOL SEX EDUCATION ADVISOR ARRESTED FOR PROSTITUTIONPosted: 2023-12-07 GODLEY, Texas - A woman tasked with helping decide sexual education curriculum in Godley ISD has been removed from multiple positions within the district because she's a convicted prostitute. A FOX 4 investigation also found she is advertising herself online as an escort. The discovery raises concerns about background checks in the district and across the state. "We had no idea what was going on in her personal life. She was always very friendly and personable," said Godley ISD School Board trustee Kayla Lain. A convicted prostitute, actively advertising as an escort, was serving on a council that recommends "appropriate grade levels and methods for human sexuality instruction within Godley ISD." "I don’t see any community wanting that to be the standard for their school district," said Mary Lowe with the nonprofit group Families Engaged for Effective Education. School Health Advisory Councils, or SHACs, are required by Texas law. SHACs recommend to school boards a wide range of health education protocols for students, including "appropriate grade levels and curriculum for instruction regarding […] sex trafficking." "I would not want children to be subject to those type of people," said Lain. Lain was made aware of a now former SHAC member's history of prostitution by Mary Lowe and her nonprofit. "We can do better, and we must do better," said Lowe. Ashley Ketcherside is shown in a Godley ISD YouTube video at the SHAC's first meeting of the school year in October. She's listed as a committee member in meeting minutes. Members need to be appointed by the school board to serve, according to a district spokesperson.
