School board fires teacher accused of giving condoms, alcohol to students

The Miami-Dade County School Board upheld its decision to fire a teacher who an investigation found that, among many violations, she had provided alcohol and condoms to students.
Isabel Diaz-Almaraz, a fine arts dance teacher at South Miami Senior High School, was found to have participated in a "multitude of grossly inappropriate conduct" that included drinking with her students, according to school board investigators.

The investigation began in July 2012 after a parent reported a photo that Diaz-Almaraz had posted on her Facebook account, said Assistant School Board Attorney Heather Ward. The photo showed Diaz-Almaraz posing in her office with several of her students while holding bottles of alcohol and shot glasses.
