Title: PS4 PERSONNEL DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve Anthony A. Wade's  Suspension Without Pay, effective September 22, 2005, and Termination, effective fifteen (15) days after the September 21, 2005, Board Meeting, subject only to appeal under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, unless a timely request for an administrative hearing is made within the fifteen (15) days stated herein pursuant to Section 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes wherein Mr. Wade  will remain suspended without payment of salary and benefits until final School Board disposition is entered to the administrative hearing proceedings.

Description: During the 2004/2005 school year,  Anthony Wade was the subject of a Professional Standards investigation based upon allegations that he received more than three (3) traffic convictions within eighteen (18) months.  The initial allegation was unsubstantiated as Mr. Wade had only two traffic convictions and one no contest plea with adjudication withheld during the relevant period.  The investigation, however, revealed an unsafe driving record as well as a citation for driving a school bus over the speed limit while transporting students.  At the conclusion of the investigation, the allegations of unsafe operation of a school bus, failure to maintain a safe and responsible driving record, and failure to self-report an arrest were sustained.

Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact to the school district.
