Tracy Smith, 43, was the head of Xceed Preparatory Academy in Coral Springs, Florida, when she allegedly began a sexual relationship with a student, according to CBS Miami, which cited her arrest report.

He allegedly told police he felt "guilty," and his school work suffered from Smith's alleged actions.

Brian Bieber, an attorney representing the school, said in a statement to the media that the allegations came as a surprise.

Smith worked at Xceed almost three years and was an educator for nearly 20 years, according to Bieber. Her charity work has also earned local awards for outstanding philanthropic service.

Smith has since been fired, according to Bieber.

"The allegations resulting in Ms. Smith's arrest yesterday came as a complete shock to everyone at the school. The school and its staff will cooperate with law enforcement in every way possible. A safe learning environment is paramount at XCEED — with no exceptions," Bieber said in the statement.

Smith was released on $25,000 bond after a court appearance Tuesday and ordered not to have any contact with the victim or any minors outside of her family, and she is not permitted to return to the school, according to NBC Miami.

Smith talked about the support of her family and extended family, which includes a husband and three children, in a 2020 Q&A on Medium.com.

Smith's information on the school's website has been taken down, but the webpage is still active.

The site says, "Page not found … We're sorry, but the page you requested could not be found."

Toto Wolff, Christian Horner and every F1 team principal's net worth revealed | F1 | News - Crash

Here is the net worth of all 10 F1 team principals in 2023, reported by The Sun…

Toto Wolff (Mercedes) - £1 billion

Toto Wolff's net worth officially hit billionaire status in 2023, according to Forbes.

As well as being the Mercedes team principal, he also owns one-third of the F1 team.

Wolff also bought 1% of the Aston Martin F1 team from Lawrence Stroll in 2020. That investment has awkwardly made Wolff money this year, as Aston Martin’s worth increased when they dislodged Mercedes from the podium in Saudi Arabia.

The ex-banker owes Netflixfor turning him “into a celebrity billionaire with the effect of its Drive to Survive docuseries on the value of Formula 1 teams,” Forbes report.

Mercedes have enjoyed 114 wins under Wolff’s leadership. He has led Lewis Hamilton to six of his all-time joint record seven championships.

Christian Horner (Red Bull) - £41.4m

Christian Horner's net worth is lagging a long way behind Wolff in this chart.

The former driver has led Red Bull from their early days into the dominant team seen today.

He has led Max Verstappen to his two consecutive titles, and previously oversaw Sebastian Vettel’s glory years.

Away from F1, he is married to Geri Halliwell, the former Spice Girl.

Otmar Szafnauer (Alpine) - £4.1m

Szafnauer is worth roughly 10 times less than Horner.

He was in a senior role at Force India when they became Aston Martin, and he now leads Alpine.

Franz Tost (AlphaTauri) - £4.1m 

The oldest team principal currently on the grid, aged 67, Tost has been in charge of AlphaTauri since 2005.

He was appointed when Red Bull took over Minardi. Tost previously worked at Williams.

James Vowles (Williams) - £4.1m

Vowles left his job as Mercedes’ strategy director, where he worked directly with Lewis Hamilton, for the top job at Williams ahead of the 2023 season.

Toto Wolff left the door open for Vowles to one day return to Mercedes and said: "He could have a 10-year stint there.

"You just need to let the bird fly out and do his own thing, and not at that stage anticipating that he is going to come back."

Guenther Steiner (Haas) - £4.1m

Steiner shot to a new level of fame thanks to Netflix’s ‘Drive To Survive’ but his ascent began far earlier than that.

He held senior roles at Jaguar and Red Bull until he was given the job of building the Haas team. He has led Haas since 2004.

Steiner insists that he doesn’t watch ‘Drive To Survive’:  “I’ve got one team member who watches this and I let somebody else decide.

“It’s always difficult for me to have an opinion about myself, it’s very difficult. Put yourself in my shoes, you know what I mean? The best thing is they don’t show anything. But is that good? No.”

Alessandro Alunni Bravi (Alfa Romeo) - £4.1m

Alunni Bravi became the top man at Alfa Romeo ahead of the 2023 season when Fred Vasseur left for Ferrari.

But he is not technically their team principal, a job title that Alfa Romeo prefer to avoid. He is the ‘team representative’.

The former lawyer began working with Sauber in 2017, and then became managing director of the Alfa Romeo F1 team in 2022, before taking a new job this year.

Frederic Vasseur (Ferrari) - £2.5m

Vasseur is a newcomer at Ferrari so his net worth should skyrocket in the coming years.

The experienced Frenchman is the latest to get the top job at Ferrari, a poisoned chalice since the iconic team’s glory years ended.

Vasseur was previously team principal of Renault and Alfa Romeo.

He worked with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in their pre-F1 years.

Andrea Stella (McLaren) - £1.2m

The Italian took over at McLaren for the 2023 season so this net worth should dramatically increase.

He replaced Andreas Seidl, who left to become chief executive of Sauber (they currently work with Alfa Romeo but are set to partner with Audi from 2026).

Mike Krack (Aston Martin) - £800k

This is Krack’s second season as Aston Martin boss - and it’s turning out to be pretty good!

Team owner Lawrence Stroll has major ambitions for Aston Martin having signed Fernando Alonso.

Angry mom sprays school principal with mace, Ohio cops say. ‘That’s the guy I want’ - Yahoo News

A 27-year-old Ohio mother is accused of spraying a school principal with mace after he and fellow staff stopped her from entering the building, police say.

Officers with the Elyria Police Department responded to Hamilton Elementary School after 9 a.m. on April 18, following the alleged assault, according to a police report.

That morning, the principal was greeting students in the hallways when he noticed an assistant principal, who is seven months pregnant, and another school administrator trying to prevent an angry parent from getting inside through a side door, the report said. It is an “unauthorized doorway.”

The principal went to see what was happening and recognized the parent as he got closer, the report said. She recognized him as well, saying “that’s the guy I want,” as she began yelling obscenities at him, according to the report.

The assistant principal told police that the parent was “extremely upset” and screaming expletives within view of students, according to the report.

She was escorted outside, but as the principal attempted to close the door, she aimed a can of mace attached to her keys and sprayed him in the face, the report said.

When officers arrived minutes later, the parent was gone, but police “clearly observed that (the principal) was dealing with the effects of being maced,” the report said. Additionally, surveillance video captured the assault.

The parent turned herself in at the Elyria Police Station at around 10:45 a.m., according to police. She was arrested on a charge of assault on a school official and criminal trespass.

Elyria is roughly 30 miles southwest of downtown Cleveland.
