Brevard students protest ICE actions in Viera on Presidents Day

A Melbourne High School senior says he was threatened with expulsion as walkouts protesting violence by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents took place at Brevard schools less than two weeks ago. That threat, Jack Apotsos says, is part of why he was out protesting on Feb. 16, joining a group of about 40 fellow students, parents and community members outside Brevard Public Schools' Educational Services Facility on Judge Fran Jamieson Way in Viera.

Recap: Brevard school board terminates teacher over sex with student

Amy Roub addressed the board next, addressing music education and photos of Gene Trent with political candidates. Susin interrupted her, with the two going back and forth for a minute before he allowed her to continue and then cut her off again. Roub shouted that she could get to her point if he would be patient, but ultimately, Susin moved her to the non-agenda portion of public comment.

Iit is the job of the school board to address these questions that our citizens have, that voted for them. If we cannot address our students with respect in public comment, how can we expect them to feel heard by the board if they are held in a view of disrespect?

A year on, dispute continues over use of Brevard student’s chosen name: https://brevarddeservesbetter.com/2026/04/21/a-year-on-dispute-continues-over-use-of-brevard-students-chosen-name.html

A year on, dispute continues over use of Brevard student's chosen name

It's been more than a year since a Brevard teacher was ousted for using a high school student's chosen name without parental permission. The former teacher has since been OK'd by the state to return to the classroom, an arbitrator said she was wrongly reprimanded and the student — at the time, a senior also enrolled at Eastern Florida — has graduated. Still, the case continues to drag on, now focusing on a second teacher's job and teaching license.

Honcho's cuss about open government shows how important it is to us | Opinion

The alternative to transparency is not smoother government. It is secret government. And history — including Florida’s own — shows that secrecy rarely produces better decisions. On the contrary, it produces decisions that are harder to examine, harder to challenge and sometimes all but impossible to correct.

The Brevard County high school teacher who was essentially fired by the district because she used a student’s preferred name without parental permission won an arbitration in the case. Talking to News 6 on Friday, Melissa Calhoun called the decision a win for all teachers, even though BPS still has no plans on rehiring her.
