A Teacher's Dark Secret: From North Carolina to Florida

A 26-year-old elementary school teacher from North Carolina is now facing serious trouble. Jordan Kacie Hawk was recently arrested in Florida. She was picked up on a fugitive warrant linked to crimes she allegedly committed back in North Carolina.

Background and Charges

Hawk was a teacher in Kannapolis, a city near Charlotte. She is accused of four counts of indecent liberties with a minor. These incidents happened earlier this year. Hawk was teaching at the time, but she resigned in the spring of 2025. The school district says they reported their concerns to the police and have been cooperating with the investigation.

Arrest and Extradition

Hawk was teaching at the Miami Lakes AK-8 Center when she was arrested. This school is about 20 miles from Miami. She appeared in court and agreed to be sent back to North Carolina within 30 days.

Broader Implications

This case is part of a bigger problem. Reports of sexual misconduct by teachers are on the rise. A 2023 report from Psychology Today shows a big increase in these cases. However, many cases go unreported. Only 6 percent of students officially report the misconduct they experience.

School District Response

The school district in Kannapolis released a statement. They said Hawk resigned and they reported their concerns to the police. They also said they can't share more details to protect the student's privacy.

Questions Raised

This case raises questions about how well schools monitor their teachers. It also highlights the need for better reporting systems. Students need to feel safe and know they can speak up if something is wrong.
