A substitute teacher in Texas has been fired and arrested after a video was posted online that shows her allegedly assaulting a high school sophomore, officials say.
“There is absolutely no excuse or circumstance that can justify what you see unfold on the video,” said Tim Savoy, a spokesman for the local school district. “It is unconscionable what this adult did to one of our students.”
After the alleged assault, the district said Lankford was immediately removed from the classroom and questioned by a school resource officer.The sheriff’s office said it reviewed several videos and conducted several interview before taking Lankford into custody. Lankford had undergone training and passed a background check before she began working as a substitute in September, the district said. She worked in district classrooms 18 times since September 13, the statement said.
Lankford couldn't be reached for comment and it wasn’t immediately clear if she has a lawyer. Court records didn’t list one for her.
