In 2022, Andrew Clinton Snead, the Districts Performing Arts Coordinator was arrested on 2 counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor.[19] Snead was placed on unpaid administrative leave.

In 2019, a Flat Rock Elementary School employee was accused by parents of assaulting children when grabbing them because of food being thrown in the cafeteria. According to the Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, witness statements were inconsistent and there was not enough concrete evidence to make a case. No charges were filed against the employee, and they have returned to work.[20]
