Despite outcry from the public, Brevard’s school board on Tuesday approved a Bible-based financial curriculum and didn’t address the handling of a situation last month involving an alcohol-fueled teen party at a principal’s house in Cocoa Beach.
Members of the sparse audience at the evening meeting spoke on both issues, as Dave Ramsey’s “Foundations of Personal Finance” curriculum was on the agenda, and this was the first meeting held since the January arrests of Roosevelt Elementary’s principal and third grade teacher in connection to a party held at the principal’s home, where more than 100 teens were in attendance and drinking alcohol, according to police.
