Florida School Board Fires Teacher Accused of Sexual Relationship With Student

The case now moves to a May 5 arraignment.

Overview

  • The Brevard Public Schools board ended Kirsten Rose’s employment Tuesday, 18 days after placing the Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High math teacher on leave.
  • Deputies arrested the 37-year-old on April 10 after a months-long probe into contact that began on Instagram.
  • Court records list one count for an authority figure engaging in sexual conduct with a student and five counts of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.
  • Investigators opened the case after the student’s parents tracked his phone to an unfamiliar home and he later said he was at Rose’s residence.
  • Rose was booked into the Brevard County Jail and released on a $250,000 bond, and her arraignment is scheduled for May 5.
