Brevard Public Schools released the following statement regarding the arrest of Ajani McPherson at Palm Bay High yesterday:
I can confirm that a substitute teacher at Palm Bay Magnet High (not a track coach), Ajani McPherson, was arrested at school on Friday for allegedly sharing a nude photo of himself with a female student.
We are deeply troubled by these accusations and working closely with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. These actions are a tremendous violation of trust.
Mr. McPherson was not a regular substitute teacher; he hadn’t been at Palm Bay Magnet High for a month when yesterday’s arrest happened. Effective immediately he is no longer employed by Brevard Public Schools.
