A Monday morning substitute gig at Lake Minneola High School ended in handcuffs after students and staff reported that a sub began acting erratically, slamming her hands on desks, making explicit comments, and twerking in class. She was escorted from the room, and Lake County Schools said parents were notified and the substitute's district assignment was ended.
What Deputies Say Happened
According to a report by ClickOrlando, deputies responded to a Centegix staff alert around 10:20 a.m. and arrived to find the substitute yelling incoherently and making sexual statements to students. The report says the woman referred to herself as a "million-dollar prostitute," slammed her hands on a desk, and twerked in front of students. Deputies restrained her, escorted her to the front office, and then took her into custody.
Charges and District Response
Lake County Sheriff's Office documents say the substitute, identified as Angela Faith Jourdan, faces misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, simple battery, and two counts of disruption of a school function. Investigators also interviewed a student who alleged the substitute placed her hands on the student's head and the back of the neck and moved a hand toward the throat, according to the report.
In a statement to ClickOrlando, Lake County Schools communications officer Sherri Owens said, "Parents have been notified. The substitute teacher was hired 2/4/2025, and employment was terminated today."
Where It Happened
Lake Minneola High School, which serves more than 2,000 students, is located at 101 North Hancock Road in Minneola. The school lists that address on its Lake Minneola High School website. School leaders said they were coordinating with the sheriff's office while counselors checked in with students affected by the incident.
Broader Context
Parents and community members frequently raise questions about how districts vet and monitor substitute teachers, especially after classroom incidents in the region. Hoodline has documented similar substitute arrests in Central Florida; see this report on a substitute arrested on lewd conduct charges at an Orange County middle school for one example.
For now, the substitute remains in custody on misdemeanor charges, and the Lake County Sheriff's Office continues its investigation.
