Eighth grade teachers Tawana Horton, 30, and Cambrella Pinckney, 28, bumped into each other during a hallway class change Friday afternoon at St. Andrews Middle School and began fighting, according to a report by the Richland County sheriff’s department.
The two teachers told an officer that they had an ongoing personal dispute, the report said.
The teachers were charged with disturbing schools and have been placed on administrative leave, deputies said.
“This occurred with students on the scene and they witnessed what happened,” Richland School District 1 spokeswoman Karen York. “Teachers are looked at as role models. That doesn’t set a good example.”
Guaran-frickin’-tee a man is involved, possibly one who works at the same school. In the private sector, this would be a firing offense.
