WEST PALM BEACH — The School District of Palm Beach County is cooperating fully with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, which is the lead agency in the investigation of Xavier Donte Alexander.

The district is shocked and appalled by the nature of the crimes for which Alexander was arrested.

While the crimes that Alexander is accused of committing did not occur on school property, and did not involve district students, Grove Park administrators reached out to parents of students in Alexander’s class immediately after learning of his arrest. The District is also offering families support services.

In addition to criminal charges, Xavier Alexander is now subject to a professional standards investigation by the district.

He will not be returning to the school district as a teacher, or in any other capacity, pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
