Brevard County school officials are investigating a threatening Facebook post against a school teacher by one of her students.
The student wrote on Facebook, “Hey, I want to kill Mrs. Bowen. Does anybody want to help?” said attorney William Whitacre.
Apparently, the student at Edgewood Junior/Senior High School in Merritt Island didn’t want teacher Kathy Bowen to return to school after a short leave of absence.
An attorney for Mrs Bowen says she was informed about the online threat after she returned from her short leave.
The student is also said to have discuss the ways he would carry out the killing or keep Mrs Bowen from coming back, on Facebook.
A Brevard County Sheriff’s Office spokesman says the student isn’t facing criminal charges.
The district could pursue expulsion, if approved by the School Board, depending on the outcome of the investigation.
