Teacher Placed on Leave Amid Police Investigation at Local School

TNN News has learned of yet another concerning incident within Bermuda’s school system — one that has triggered both police involvement and heightened anxieties among parents.

According to sources, a male teacher at an undisclosed school has been placed on administrative leave following allegations of inappropriate communication and language via WhatsApp messages directed at a female student under the age of 14 years old. Due to the active investigation and the sensitivity of the situation, TNN News has chosen not to identify the school facility at this time.

Parents and guardians were formally notified on Wednesday, October 29, through a letter issued by the school’s administration.

In the letter, leadership acknowledged a “significant development” and confirmed that a police investigation is underway:

“As a result of this inaugural police investigation, a member of our teaching staff has been placed on administrative leave.”

“We have the responsibility to remain a safe and supportive environment for all members of our school community.”

The correspondence emphasized the school’s cooperation with authorities and its obligation to maintain confidentiality while the inquiry progresses:

“We are not at liberty to disclose further details at this matter. We understand that news of this kind may be deeply unsettling. Please be assured that the safety, trust, and well-being of our students remain our highest priority.”

Parents were encouraged to direct any questions to the interim head of the school facility while the review continues.

TNN News reached out to the BPS for a response, no comments was provided, at the time of posting.

The situation remains fluid, and families continue to await answers. Concern within the school community is growing, as this marks yet another incident raising alarms around student safety in educational facilities.

TNN will continue to follow this matter closely.
