In November of 2003 Josh Eppley was a seventh grade student at Tri-Valley Middle School in Ohio. According to a lawsuit filed by the parents of Eppley, Tri-Valley Middle School allowed 17-year-old Corey Jenkins to take their son out of school without their permission. Jenkins proceeded to drive with Eppley as a passenger in a car.

According to the police report, Eppley was ejected from the vehicle after it veered off the road hitting an embankment. Sadly, Eppley died as a result of the incident. A lawsuit has now been filed by Eppley's parents against the school due to the willful, wanton and reckless conduct and breach of duty of the employees of the school. At one point the boy's parents voluntarily dropped their suit involving the car crash only to refile at a later date. The attorney representing the school district, Michael E. Stinn, was not available to comment. The trial date has yet to be set.
