Overview
- Prosecutors say 23-year-old Amy Jones signed in as a substitute at Rufus King High School and taught multiple periods before staff identified her as a nonemployee.
- The complaint says students recorded Jones using profane language, racial slurs, sexually explicit questions, and sorting students by race and gender during class.
- Jones faces six felony counts — one for impersonating a public employee and five for exposing a child to harmful descriptions — carrying a combined maximum of about 21 years in prison if convicted.
- A court commissioner this week set a $5,000 signature bond, ordered Level 3 supervision through JusticePoint, issued a no-contact order and scheduled a preliminary hearing for Oct. 20.
- Milwaukee Public Schools is investigating after the front office failed to verify her in the district substitute system and the district says it will retrain staff and provide supports for affected students.
