Authorities say the employee rented out a middle school gym for personal gain.

Published on Feb. 10, 2026

A fourth Broward County school employee, Shaune Cannon, has been arrested in connection with a scheme to illegally rent out a gym at Forest Glen Middle School in Coral Springs, where he works as a behavior tech. Cannon is facing charges of organized scheme to defraud and grand theft for allegedly renting out the school's gym without using the proper channels and pocketing the money.

Why it matters

This is the fourth arrest in Broward County related to a similar scheme, where school employees were allegedly renting out school gyms for personal profit, bypassing the district's approval process. These incidents raise concerns about misuse of public resources, financial impropriety, and potential safety and liability issues for the school district.

The details

According to the arrest report, Cannon is accused of renting out the gym at Forest Glen Middle School and receiving payments directly through Zelle, without going through the proper district channels. This is similar to the cases of three other Broward County school employees who were previously arrested on similar charges for illegally renting out school gyms and pocketing the money.

  • Cannon was arrested on February 10, 2026.
  • The previous arrests in the scheme occurred in December 2025.
