Overview
- Angela Faith Jourdan, a substitute at Lake Minneola High School, was arrested Monday after refusing to leave a class, and the district fired her that day and alerted parents.
- Investigators say she made explicit sexual remarks to students, called herself a "million-dollar prostitute," and twerked during class.
- A student told deputies Jourdan grabbed her head and neck as she tried to leave, leading to charges of disorderly conduct, simple battery, and two counts of disrupting a school function.
- A school resource deputy arrived around 10:20 a.m., and bodycam video shows Jourdan arguing as deputies restrained her and escorted her from the building.
- The case report notes a history of bipolar disorder, and the school board chair praised students for responding with care, which is prompting debate over hiring checks and mental health support in schools.
