JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An investigation is underway and a Duval County teacher has resigned after she was removed from her classroom.
Thursday night, several videos were emailed to First Coast News and other media outlets, showing what appeared to be a teacher exposing herself in a empty classroom. First Coast News notified the district immediately.
Just after 4 p.m. Friday, the district confirmed a San Jose Elementary fourth grade teacher has resigned after being reassigned. The DCPS board member representing San Jose, Cindy Pearson, confirmed there was “impropriety” involved.
There is now both a police and district investigation underway pertaining to these allegations. We are not the naming the teacher because we cannot independently verify the video and she has not been charged. We have reached out to the teachers union, and are working to contact the teacher.
Pearson’s full statement said: “We are again faced with an issue of employee impropriety. I am eagerly awaiting Dr. Kriznar’s plan to address these issues. Please note that the poor choices of one employee should not detract from the work of the other staff and the success of the students at San Jose Elementary.”
We will continue to follow the investigation.
