A Florida woman awarded “Teacher of the Year” didn’t get much time to celebrate her crown, as she would be arrested two days later for allegedly striking a student in the face.
Caroline Melanie Lee, 60, an English teacher at Darnell-Cookman Middle/High, received the award last week and was allegedly involved in the altercation two days later after the student posted a message on Instagram questioning her selection for the top honor, according to The Florida Times-Union.
According to a Duval County School Police Department report, the unidentified minor student said Lee called her into her classroom to speak privately and allegedly struck her, causing a bloody nose.
