Brevard Public Schools has lost another teacher to COVID-19.
Wayne Moore, a Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School digital design and marketing teacher, died May 25 after a six-week fight with COVID-19, according to his obituary. He was 65 years old.
A Florida native, Moore graduated from Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach in 1973. He was married to his wife, Ronni Massa Moore, for 44 years. Before teaching at Brevard Public Schools, he ran a Salty Dog franchise. He coached high school girls’ softball and volleyball, and had recently started his own photography business.
“We all grieve when someone from the BPS family dies,” Brevard Public Schools spokesman Russell Bruhn said in a statement. “Mr. Moore was a beloved teacher and mentor to students, and will be greatly missed. We wish nothing but comfort and peace for his family.”

A group of teachers has entered the legal fray over Health First’s domination of the Brevard County healthcare market, accusing the hospital system and insurer of monopolistic tactics in a class action suit.
Brevard Federation of Teachers President Anthony Colucci, Vice President Vanessa Skipper and teacher Kelly Baker filed a complaint Monday in Florida’s middle district federal court. The suit repeats many of the allegations Health First has already faced in court, accusing the healthcare system of using aggressive, monopolistic tactics to gain leverage to increase the price of its services, causing the teachers to overpay for their healthcare.
Although online options will remain available to families during the 2021-2022 school year, the Brevard Public School District will do away with eLearning models used during the pandemic that required staff to teach students online at the same time as those physically present in the classroom.
Superintendent Mark Mullins announced the plans and other changes for next year at the Board of Education meeting Tuesday. The school district will resume many of its regular operations while maintaining certain precautions, he said.
“It has been a very challenging year for our educators,” Mullins said. “They have risen to the challenge and the call, and have done such an admirable job of managing that difficult situation. But we know that our students are served best when they re with us in person in our schools.”
