SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – A man has been indicted for inappropriate contact with a student while he was an employee at Robert W. Groves High School in Garden City.

The Savannah Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) released the statement below:

“ SCCPSS is aware of charges filed against Elliot Brown, a former SPED Paraprofessional at Groves High School. The charges stem from allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a student that were first reported to the district on January 31, 2024.

Administrators took immediate action and Mr. Brown was reassigned to a location where he had no interaction with students while an investigation was conducted. Mr. Brown submitted his resignation eight days later. Mr. Brown had worked for the district since November 12, 2013.
