BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A Brevard County math teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a student is facing termination, weeks after her arrest.
The Brevard County School Board is scheduled to vote Tuesday to terminate the contract of Kirsten Rose, 37, a teacher at Cocoa Beach Junior Senior High School.
According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, the relationship between Rose and the student began in November through Instagram. Investigators say it did not become sexual until February.
The case broke open when the student’s parents checked his location and noticed he was at an address they did not recognize. When confronted, investigators said he told his parents he was at his girlfriend’s house — and later identified that person as Rose.
The board is set to vote at 5:30 p.m. If approved, the termination is effective the same day.
