(St. Lucie County, Florida) A 30-year-old science teacher, Tiffany Shepherd, has been fired from her position at Port St. Lucie High School. Shepherd claims that she was booted because of her second job as a bikini-clad mate for a charter fishing boat operation. On the contrary says school spokesman Janice Karst indicating that Shepherd was released because of more than 30 unexcused absences from work.
She also said school officials did not know about her job as a "bikini" mate until after they filed her release paperwork. "As far as her claim about the boat job, we did not know about that until after she had been non-renewed," Karst said.Shepherd counters that rumors about her bikini job were widely known by school board members and administrators before she was fired and the knowledge was a factor in the decision to can her.
If officials had known, she added, it may have given administrators additional reason to discipline Shepherd. "Teachers tend to have higher levels of standards," she said.
Incidentally, Smokin Em Charters is hiring. The company combines fishing with bikini-clad, sometimes topless, female helpers and new talent is being sought.
Tiffany Shepherd
Notably, Shepherd, a divorced mother of three youngsters, insists that she has not and will not do her mate's job topless. Nonetheless, the Smokin Em Charters website states that Tiffany likes to play with the captain's monkey.
Shepherd has hired a lawyer to help assure that her firing doesn't impede her from gaining a future teaching position in the state of Florida. I would imagine that college-educated Shepherd, with an attractive appearance configured desirably, shouldn't have much problem finding suitable employment of some nature.
[Update] Interestingly, Smokin' Em Charters was asked to leave the Fort Pierce Marina last month due to concerns that the operation was not family friendly.
