It was actually just teacher of the year at her middle school, not Florida Teacher of the Year. Within the school it is often just students voting. The FL Teacher of the Year requires each school to send a nominee to their superintendent who then goes through a whole process to determine who represents their district the best. The state then does the same thing with each district nominee, narrowing it down to 5 finalists before selecting one.
The school based one is certainly a big honor at that level, but Lucie was incorrect in suggesting this was THE Florida Teacher of the Year.
