(Oakland Park, Florida) A 25-year-old English teacher at Life Skills Center charter school of Broward County, Marcia Rolle, has been fired for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a student, 19-year-old Christopher Peterson.
"We initiated our own independent investigation after the [Broward School] district's SIU [Special Investigations Unit] had closed theirs, and based on our investigation, which determined she did have a relationship with the student, we suspended her without pay on Aug. 25," said Andrew Kantor, an attorney who represents the school.No criminal charges have been filed since the student was not a minor. However, Florida regulations prohibit teachers from doing the nasty with students, regardless of age.
"After being suspended without pay in August, we contacted her to advise her of the results of our investigation, but she declined, and would not meet with us for a follow-up conference," said Kantor, an attorney with the Jacksonville-based Brennen, Manna, and Diamond law firm.
The firm represents White Hat Management, parent company of Life Skills Center of Broward County in Oakland Park. The school is privately owned, but receives funding from the Broward school district. "She was terminated as a teacher for the Life Skills Center on Sept. 13," he said.
In a separate action, Marcia Rolle's husband, Wilson Rolle Jr., has filed for divorce and he claims he has evidence of his wife's infidelity. Reportedly, an audio recorder planted in his bedroom captured the intimate sounds of Marcia and Christopher making whoopie.
