Florida Teacher Accused of Drug Use

(Lake County, Florida) A 3rd-grade teacher at Treadway Elementary School in Leesburg, Elizabeth Edmonds, has been accused of being under the influence of drugs while teaching third-graders.

After a drug test, Edmonds was found to have marijuana and opiates in her system.

District officials said they had not had any problems with Edmonds before.

Officials said Edmonds had been at Treadway Elementary for three years. WFTV's Kenenth Craig learned the Lake County School Board voted to suspend the teacher without pay, and they eventually plan to fire her.

Edmonds wasn't arrested, but has been off the job since the incident, according to officials.

If true, Edmonds needs rehab.
