A Florida teacher facilitated classroom fights among girls at her middle school, even announcing rules and warning students not to pull hair, authorities in Tallahassee said Monday.
Angel Drew Footman, 23, is charged with four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to court documents in Leon County. Arraignment was scheduled for May 4, court records show.
The author of the document, Sheriff’s Detective Hannah Parry, wrote that Footman offered this explanation: “Footman stated outright that she knows she has poor classroom management skills.”
The affidavit is said to be based on numerous interviews with faculty members and students, including girls involved in the fights, some of whom went to Footman’s sixth grade classroom from other classes to participate, the document stated.
All the girls had had Footman as a teacher at some point, the affidavit said. Some “were called out of other classes to go engage in these fights,” it said.
Videos captured a voice that school administrators said was Footman’s, the detective wrote. The voice appeared to present rules: “30 seconds, no screaming, no yelling, no phones.”
She also intervened, at least verbally, a few times, the document said. Footman is alleged to have said at one point, “Stop pulling hair.” At another point on the videos, the voice said, “Break it up.”
