Investigation finds evidence Santa Rosa School administrator stole thousands from employer

An investigation launched July 30 into “possible educator misconduct” has concluded that Kelly Short, a high ranking Santa Rosa County School District employee and treasurer of the Santa Rosa County Association of School Administrators, had been stealing from her employers for at least two years.

District investigators, working with an outside agency, determined Short, the district’s director of in-service and instructional technology, had committed three violations of Florida’s Administrative Code along with violations of School Board ethics and anti-****** policies to include 10 actions constituting ******.

“Your actions and inactions constitute immorality, misconduct in office, ****** insubordination and willful neglect of duty as defined in the Florida Administrative Code,” School Superintendent Karen Barber told Short in an Oct. 24 letter notifying her she’d been placed on unpaid suspension pending a recommendation of termination.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement continues to investigate Short’s actions for possible ********* violations.

5 Santa Rosa residents ***** following two *******-suicides in 24 hours

Five people were ******* in two *******-******** events in just 24 hours this week, compelling Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson on Wednesday to urge community members to reach out if they’re in a domestic ********* situation.

The first call to dispatchers came in after 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. A woman was on the phone with dispatchers when her boyfriend fatally shot her and then turned the **** on himself at a home on Majestic Palm Street in Pace, Johnson said. The couple had a previous domestic dispute resulting in physical harm to the woman in May of 2024, but she dropped all charges against her abuser. She did not have an active domestic ********* injunction against her abuser when she was *******.

Roughly 18 hours later at a home on Cypress Point Circle in Navarre, Johnson said a 52-year-old man fatally shot his parents before turning the **** on himself. A family member discovered his parents with gunshot wounds in the dining room and his brother – who had been living with their parents − nearby, also with a fatal gunshot wound.
