In Florida, a substitute teacher who referred to herself as a “million-dollar prostitute” has been dismissed following an incident where she reportedly twerked and allegedly grabbed a student during a classroom outburst.

Angela Faith Jourdan was taken into custody on Monday after being accused of exhibiting erratic behavior at Lake Minneola High School in Minneola, Florida. The school district confirmed that her employment was terminated on the same day the incident occurred.

“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,” stated the district in a communication to News 6.

According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Jourdan is alleged to have made inappropriate comments to students, including expressing a willingness to engage in sexual activities with them and describing herself as a “million dollar prostitute.”

Authorities claim that Jourdan was also seen “twerking” in the classroom while shouting and banging her hands on a desk before law enforcement arrived on the scene.

A student reported to investigators that she was assaulted as the class was concluding.

“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.
