A 23-year-old Milwaukee woman charged with entering Rufus King International High School while posing as a substitute teacher was released on bail after a court commissioner declined her attorney’s request to send her to an inpatient hospital. Amy Jones faces six felony charges stemming from an incident prosecutors say occurred Sept. 24. Her attorney told the court Jones is managing bipolar disorder and had a problem receiving her medication that day. The attorney argued she posed no risk, had no violent criminal history and could continue inpatient care at Granite Hills Hospital, where a bed was available. Jones was released on bail and ordered to have no contact with the school or its students. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 20. According to prosecutors, Jones, a former Rufus King student, told school office staff she was a substitute teacher and was placed in a classroom for the first three periods. The school principal told police that eight teachers had called in sick that day and seven positions were filled. She said the remaining vacancy may have allowed Jones to enter a classroom. Students reported Jones to a school resource officer, alleging she used profanity and racial slurs, made sexually derogatory comments and grouped students by race and gender. One 16-year-old told police she cursed and yelled at students, insulted one student’s weight, asked another whether she wanted to be a stripper or a hooker, and told two white boys they seemed like people who would start school shootings. Students also said she asked whether they were gay or virgins. At least one student recorded the classroom encounter and shared the video with police. The principal learned of the situation during the third period and had Jones escorted from the building, according to the account of the investigation. Jones later acknowledged having a “birds and the bees talk” with students and said it was inappropriate. She told a detective she went to the school because she was bored and wanted to “mess around,” prosecutors said. The charges include one count of representing herself as a public employee and five counts of exposing a child to harmful descriptions. If convicted, she could face up to 21 years in prison. The charges are allegations, and Jones is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Milwaukee Public Schools said it was conducting its own investigation in addition to any police action and would take appropriate steps to keep Rufus King safe and welcoming for students and staff.
