A substitute teacher in Mesquite, Texas, has been fired after an investigation revealed that she encouraged students to fight each other during class, the school district said Friday.

According to a statement from Mesquite Independent School District to NBC News, the teacher outlined rules for students to follow during the fight and instructed a student to monitor the door while the physical altercations took place.

The fights occurred during class on Wednesday, April 12, and administrators learned of the video documenting the brawls on Thursday, April 13, according to the statement. Officials at Kimbrough Middle School started an “immediate investigation” and contacted parents that afternoon. The substitute teacher had been employed at Kimbrough Middle School since March 6, the statement said, and is not eligible for rehiring. The district called her actions"appalling and intolerable.""As educators, our hearts are heavy knowing that an individual entrusted with the supervision and care of our students could behave in this manner, and we share the disgust that the families of students in this class must feel," the statement read.

The Mesquite Police Department said in a statement that no arrest has been made as of Friday, but officials are aware of the incident. The department added that the case is still"actively being investigated." The educator was not named in the statement. The Mesquite Education Association did not immediately respond to
