(AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File)UMATILLA, Fla. – A Central Florida school district will not reinstate a middle school teacher who lost his job last year after making “lewd and offensive” TikTok videos that were seen by his students. The Lake County School Board agreed last month to uphold the termination of Todd Erdman's teaching contract, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Telfer heard two days of testimony and then ruled in November that the school district had just cause to fire Erdman, the newspaper reported. “Those TikTok videos contain lewd and offensive material,” he wrote in his Nov. 6 order. “Those TikTok videos made their way into the public sphere, and were viewed by students and parents in the school district, as well as school district personnel.”Erdman was overseeing the middle school’s in-school suspension program when he was removed from his post in 2019.
