Florida teacher arrested, accused of playing loud music to disrupt student testing, police say
LAKE MARY, Fla. - A Florida middle school teacher was arrested, accused of playing loud music with the intent to disrupt Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) testing being conducted at the school.
Port Orange police officers were called to Creekside Middle School for a disturbance just after noon on Tuesday.Officers said Martin Reese, a teacher at the school, refused to turn off the music and caused a disturbance when being escorted to the principal’s office.
This caused the school to go into lock down until the situation was resolved. "They couldn’t leave their class or anything like that," said Aubrey Markovitz.Markovitz said her daughter was already stressed about taking the test. "They’re trying to get through it, so to have a disruption while they’re stressed and trying to get through their testing, she was a little irritated.
Kind of shaken up.""I do think that if this individual was wanting to protest the FSA there are definitely some better ways to go about it," Volusia teacher’s union president Elizabeth Albert responded.She said Reese had only worked at the school for three weeks. "We’re always concerned when there’s chaos on campus and have to go into lockdown mode.
