WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The public relations firm representing Rosarian Academy said Friday that counselors were on the campus and that the principal was meeting with parents.
Those events were taking place after former teacher Stephen Budd was arrested Thursday. Police say he sexually assaulted two of his former students. Budd was a fourth grade teacher. Police say the incidents happened during the 2006-2007 school year.
The Florida Department of Children and Families is also investigating.
“Our main concern is the children involved and providing them the services they need,” DCF’s Southeast Regional Managing Director Dennis Miles said.
According to police reports, the girls were nine-years-old at the time of the abuse.
