Florida teacher put on paid leave after student urinates in lunch box
A teacher has been put on paid leave while officials investigate why a student urinated in a lunch box during her class. The Meadowbrook Middle School student urinated in a lunch box while hiding behind a classroom bookcase, Orange County school officials said. According to statements by other students in the class, school officials think that when the boy asked to go the restroom on Thursday, teacher Jameeka Chambers told him to hold it or use her lunch box. The boy took the lunch box, hid behind a bookcase, urinated in it and returned it to her, Frank Kruppenbacher, attorney for the Orange County School Board, told the Orlando Sentinel. "I think we clearly know she didn't tell him, 'Go pee in this box,' in the sense of going to go do that," Kruppenbacher said. "That's beyond our comprehension." The next morning the boy's mother complained to the principal and told a local TV station that Chambers would not allow him to use the restroom.
