Kirsten Rose, 37, a math teacher at Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School, was fired by the Brevard Public Schools district after a board meeting on April 28. The decision followed her arrest on April 10, which stemmed from a multi-month investigation into allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a student. Rose was charged with one count of an authority figure engaging in sexual conduct with a student and five counts of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors, all classified as second-degree felonies. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office began its investigation after the student’s parents noticed he was coming home late from his work shift. The student later admitted he was at Rose’s home, according to court records. A sheriff’s office affidavit stated the relationship began through social media and escalated to sexual conduct. Rose was placed on administrative leave before her arrest. During the April 28 board meeting, the district discussed her employment history and the ethics violation tied to her arrest. The school district did not immediately comment on the case. Rose’s charges carry potential prison time and fines, though no trial date has been set. The case has drawn attention from parents and educators in the Cocoa Beach area, who are awaiting further details. The Brevard Public Schools district has not released the names of the student involved or other staff members who may have been aware of the relationship prior to the investigation.
