A former president of the Brevard Teachers Union is facing potential termination after school officials allege they failed to report a sexual incident involving a student. The incident, which occurred at a local high school in 2022, allegedly involved a student and an individual not employed by the school district. According to internal documents obtained by 321 Daily, district administrators claim the union leader did not notify them of the incident when it was initially brought to their attention in March 2022. The school district has not named the individual involved in the alleged incident but said the matter is being reviewed by law enforcement. The union leader, who has not publicly commented, served as president of the Brevard Teachers Union from 2019 to 2023. During their tenure, they advocated for increased mental health resources in schools. The school board is expected to vote on disciplinary action against the union leader during a meeting next week. The district’s superintendent said in a statement that all staff are required to report suspected abuse or neglect immediately. 'This is a serious matter that requires full transparency,' the superintendent said. The union has not yet responded to requests for comment. The incident has sparked debate among local educators about reporting protocols. Some teachers told 321 Daily they are concerned about retaliation if they report misconduct. Others said they believe the union leader’s actions, if proven, could undermine trust in the organization. The school district is also reviewing its internal reporting procedures. A spokesperson said the district is working with legal counsel to determine next steps. The case highlights ongoing challenges in balancing employee responsibilities with student safety in Brevard County schools.
