Flagler County Sheriff’s Office released surveillance video last week that shows the teacher’s help walking down the hallway, then briefly looking back as she is pushed by the student. The student is about 6’6 inches tall and 270 lbs.

Flagler Schools spokesperson said that the victim was a Flagler School employee since 2004. He also worked as a paraprofessional in Flagler Schools since 2021. Since then, the teacher has been released from the hospital.
FOX 35 News examined court records to discover that the teenager had a history with violence. Court records show that the 17-year old was charged with battery three more times in 2019 and again this month.
Court records show that he was a former employee of the Department of Juvenile Justice. He also completed his program. The state attorney’s office transferred the teen to an adult court for the latest charge. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly supports this decision.
“This student is just six months shy of age 18, and it was also a brutal attack on this teacher,” Sheriff Staly. “Fortunately, this didn’t result in a fatality. This could be a homicide we are talking about.”
FOX 35 reported that there was once a school for troubled teens located in Flagler County. It was open to students who were unable to function in a traditional classroom setting or are too violent for classes on traditional campuses. Flagler County voters did not pass a 50 cent millage property tax leviey in 2013 to pay for the school. It would have cost homeowners $50 per year. It was initially cut in half, but eventually it was shut down completely.
“We had a school resource officer assigned to that mini-school if you will, and that’s been eliminated,” Sheriff Staly. “Maybe this is something the district should look at.”
The teen will appear in court next week.
