A substitute teacher in Florida, who boasted of being a “million-dollar prostitute,” was dismissed following an incident where she reportedly twerked and inappropriately touched a student during a classroom outburst.
Angela Faith Jourdan faced arrest on Monday after being accused of displaying erratic behavior at Lake Minneola High School, located in Minneola, Florida. The school district confirmed her immediate termination on the day of the episode.
“Good afternoon. We are aware of the arrest. Parents have been notified. The substitute teacher was hired on February 4, 2025, and her employment was terminated today,” the district informed News 6 in a statement.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office reported that Jourdan made lewd comments to students, including propositions of sexual acts and self-identifying as a “million-dollar prostitute.”
Authorities allege that Jourdan was seen “twerking” in the classroom, shouting, and pounding her hands on a desk before law enforcement arrived to handle the situation.
A student told investigators she was attacked as class was ending.
“As the bell rang and students began exiting, [REDACTED] stated she was among the last to leave when Ms. Jourdan yelled at her, called her a derogatory name, and placed her hands on [REDACTED] head and the back of her neck before moving her hand toward [REDACTED] throat,” a case report states.
A school resource deputy responded to a classroom disturbance around 10:20 a.m. and found her “yelling incoherently,” according to the report.
“Assistant Principal Pannett entered and instructed Ms. Jourdan to gather her belongings and leave the classroom,” the report reads.
“Ms. Jourdan refused, stating that she did not want to be (Tasered).”
Jourdan continued refusing to leave, prompting a deputy to restrain her and escort her to the front office.
Bodycam footage obtained by News 6 captured Jourdan arguing with deputies as they attempted to remove the educator from the classroom.
“I am not a threat and I will not be killed,” she said. “I already got tased by the police in Pine Hills and I double-dare you.”
“You thought that was a weapon, right? Then you’re gonna say I was a threat,” she added.
Deputies then handcuffed her and removed her from the building.
The report notes Jourdan has a history of bipolar disorder and that her behavior indicated a possible “mental health episode.”
She faces misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, simple battery and two counts of disruption of a school function.
Lake County School Board Chair Bill Mathias said he was notified right away and praised how students reacted during the incident.
“That was very moving to me,” Mathias said, adding that students appeared to respond with sensitivity, believing it may have been a mental health situation.
