PITTSFORD, N.Y. — The Pittsford Central School District has confirmed that Kevin Burns, a 45-year-old man facing child pornography charges, used to be a teacher in the district.
In a letter to families and staff, the superintendent said Burns hasn’t worked for the district in about a year. He was an employee from 2009 to 2024, working as a secondary-level paraprofessional and substitute teacher. The district said he passed all criminal and professional background checks.
Federal investigators say they found over 450 images of child pornography after searching his Irondequoit home last November. According to the U.S. District Attorney’s Office, investigators seized his computer and found photos of children engaging in sexual acts with adults.
Burns was charged with receipt and possession of child pornography, which carries a mandatory minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum of 20 years, and a $250,000 fine.
The letter said the district didn’t receive any complaints of inappropriate conduct while Burns taught in Pittsford and there is no reason to believe that the situation is related to the district. He resigned in June of last year after getting another job. Here is the full letter:
“We are writing to let you know that we are aware of stories in the media regarding a former employee, Mr. Kevin Burns, who has been charged with receipt and possession of child pornography.”
“Mr. Burns has not worked in the District for approximately a year. He was employed by Pittsford Central School District from 2009-2024 as a secondary-level paraprofessional and substitute teacher following standard criminal and professional background checks. He resigned from the District in June 2024, when he secured other employment. During his employment with Pittsford, we did not receive any complaints or reports of inappropriate conduct.”
“We do not have any reason to believe that this situation is in any way related to our school district or his prior employment. The District has not been contacted by any law enforcement entity as a part of the investigation or charges against Mr. Burns.”
“We will monitor the situation closely and work with law enforcement to address any additional concerns or information that results from their investigation. Please contact your child’s counselor or principal if you have concerns or questions.”
