COCOA BEACH, Fla. — Amid criminal charges, a Brevard County teacher is returning to the classroom.

Karly Anderson, who was arrested in January after Cocoa Beach police found her and former Roosevelt Elementary principal Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan at a house party involving underage drinking at the principal’s house, has been hired at Saturn Elementary—but not without protest.

Both Anderson and Hill-Brodigan were arrested, with Anderson being charged with one count of disorderly conduct, and one count of disorderly intoxication. Brodigan-Hill was charged with one count of child neglect, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of holding an open house party.

The State Attorney’s Office later cleared Anderson of felony charges, but the misdemeanor charges still stand. While Anderson has returned to the classroom, Hill-Brodigan has been suspended without pay. Dr. Jennifer Clarke, Director of School Leadership, is currently serving as acting principal for Roosevelt Elementary.
