For the second time in a week, an Alabama school teacher was arrested and charged with a school employee engaging in a sexual act with a student under 19 years old, a Class B Felony.
Jade Ford, 30, was a substitute teacher for the DeKalb County Board of Education and was arrested on the charge this past Thursday following an investigation by the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office.
DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Weldon released a statement Friday saying, "Cases involving our children are never easy, but I am thankful for our Investigation Unit and their diligence in resolving this case so fast. Our children are our future and protecting them is our number one priority. We are very thankful for the cooperation and assistance with the DeKalb County Board of Education and the great working relationship we have with them."
