Tracy Smith {BSO}
By Ryan Yousefi
The head of a preparatory school in Coral Springs was arrested for alleged sexual misconduct by an authority figure.
According to arrest records, Tracy Smith, 43, who until recently was the head of school at XCEED Preparatory Academy located at 3301 North University Drive, was taken into custody on Monday, April 17, amid inappropriate sexual conduct allegations.
According to NBC Miami, law enforcement has not confirmed if any students at XCEED Preparatory Academy were involved in the alleged incident or, more specifically, if Coral Springs campus students were involved.
The news came as a shock to XCEED Preparatory Academy, with a representative of the school releasing a statement on Tuesday.
“The allegations resulting in Ms. Smith’s arrest yesterday came as a complete shock to everyone at the school. The school and its staff will cooperate with law enforcement in every way possible. A safe learning environment is paramount at XCEED – with no exceptions,” the statement read.
During a court hearing on Tuesday, Smith was given a $25,000 bond and ordered not to have any contact with the victim, not to return to the school, and not to have contact with any minors other than family members.
Smith has spent nearly 20 years as an instructor, academic coach, and administrator in both public and private schools, according to her profile on the school’s website. Recent social media posts and website posts mentioning her school work appear to have been deleted.
