FROM 1A
Brown
He was also charged
with a failure to comply
with pre-trial conditions in
a 2021 case where he’s
been charged with 13
counts of sexual exploita
tion of children.
Four warrants allege that
between 9:55 a.m. and 1
p.m. on Feb. 16, he had
photographic and video
materials depicting minors
in a sexually explicit man
ner in folders on his
phone.
The materials showed
children ranging from 2 to
5-6 years old being sexual
ly abused in various ways.
Since Brown violated
his release terms by hav
ing contact with alcohol
and devices capable of
accessing the internet, he
was arrested with “no
bond” listed next to his
charges on DCSO’s week
ly news release.
A little over a year earli
er, on Jan. 14, 2021,
DCSO arrested Brown
after an investigation by
the sheriff’s office and the
Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force,
according to a previous
DCN article.
Warrants from that case
allege that between August
to November 2020, Brown
had possession of image
and video files depicting
minors engaged in sexual
ly explicit conduct. Those
warrants allege that the
files were allegedly down
loaded from Twitter.
DCN will provide
updates on Brown’s cases
as more information
becomes available.
FROM 1A
Wright
their feet wet and then go
back for their masters, but
I was going in and trying
to apply a lot of the things
I learned in the books,”
Delaney said. “My first
position was with EBD,
or emotionally and behav-
iorally disordered, stu
dents... which was pretty
extreme to be my first
job.”
Since that first teaching
job, Delaney has now
moved out of the class
room and serves as a pro
gram specialist, assisting
Langley in the
Exceptional Children
department. In this role,
she said that her career
path and knowledge she
learned through positions
like that challenging first
job have really come back
to help.
“It kind of came full
circle with the behavior
because I’m now the first
call for administrators to
assist teachers with possi
ble strategies to use with
their kids and interven
tions that might become
more successful in the
classroom,” Delaney said.
“My favorite days I get to
go into classrooms and
assist.”
Langley said that
Delaney was chosen for
the award because of the
hard work she does to
ensure that every student
can be as successful as
possible.
“She just goes above
and beyond,” Langley
said. “She’s always there
answering questions for
teachers, she really gets in
the boat with them, she
works with kids individu
ally even though her job is
compliance a lot of the
time but she’s there work
ing with teachers, teach
ing kids and involved in
their meetings and just
supporting the entire pro
cess from beginning to
end.”
Delaney said that, while
she would much rather be
the person giving the
award than receiving it, it
feels good to know that
the hard work she does is
making an impact on stu
dents, parents and teach
ers in the school system.
“All I want to do is
facilitate and help people
with the needs of the stu
dents that we have and the
parents as well, so it’s
great to know that they
think I’m helping enough
to be deserving of an
award like this,” Delaney
said. “I just take a deep
breath and appreciate the
love and the appreciation
that people have for me; it
has been nice to feel that
and receive it.”
The biggest honor, she
added, is receiving an
award with Philip
Wright’s name on it.
“He is just an inspira
tion to special education,
so what’s really honorable
is that his name has such
honor with it and his
name just tracks so much
respect,” Delaney said.
Delaney, along with the
other districts’ Philip
Wright award winners,
will go to a regional event
in March to be presented
with the official award.
