OCT. 26|UPDATE: We are learning more about a former assistant principal’s teaching career in Dade County. This comes after William Broom, who went by Billy, was arrested for having inappropriate conversations with minors on Snapchat. Documents from Broom’s personnel file with Dade County Schools shed light on his teaching career and what he did before working in the classroom. Broom’s arrest on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor by electronic means comes six years after he resigned from Dade County Schools.
