Broward School Board Discusses Inappropriate Touching Allegations Against 2 Board Members

BROWARD COUNTY, Florida. Two members of the Broward County School Board are facing allegations of inappropriate touching, and those allegations will be addressed on Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning, a handful of people at the school board meeting said they were concerned about an issue they thought might be politically motivated.

It’s insane, said Deidre Ruth, a worried mother.

In front of the Broward School Board on Tuesday, it was about whether they should ask an outside investigator to look into the allegations against two school board members, Brenda Fam and Allen Zeman.

In Fam’s case, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that an 18-year-old college student reported that Fam touched his buttocks.

Fam told the Sun Sentinel it was an accident while taking a photo with students.

Fam was not at the Tuesday meeting and told Red Broward, a right-wing website, that she would not return to in-person meetings.

In the second incident, Zeman is accused of slapping a male staff member on the buttocks.

Zeman told the Sun Sentinel he did not recall doing so.

In both cases, the people involved did not file a complaint.

If approved, it would allow the president to brief the governor, and if misconduct is found, it would strongly recommend that school board members restrict their attendance at school district and community events and school board meetings. pending the outcome of the investigation.

A small number of protesters outside the meeting questioned the whole issue.

Why are we investigating when the two complainants are not filing formal complaints against them, not filing any kind of criminal charges? Ruth asked. Why are we spending this money.
