Title: PS1-Personnel Disciplinary Action

Recommendation:
I recommend that the School Board approve Denfield Wade's Suspension Without Pay, effective July 20, 2006, and Termination, effective fifteen (15) days after the July 19, 2006 Board Action subject only to appeal under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, unless a timely request for an administrative hearing is made within the (15) days stated herein pursuant to Sections 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 subsequent to the administrative proceedings.

Description: On or about March 7, 2006, Mr. Wade was evaluated, advised of performance deficiencies, rated as unsatisfactory, and placed on a thirty (30) calendar day assistance plan for improvement.  Mr. Wade was given timely written feedback, specific recommendations for improvement, and assistance in areas cited as deficient. Having failed to correct his deficiencies, Mr. Wade's performance was rated overall unsatisfactory on April 18, 2006.  Sufficient just cause exists to recommend termination of Mr. Wade's employment in accordance with the requirements of the District's Evaluation Process for Miscellaneous Employees and Sections 1012.27(5), 1012.22(1)(f), 1012.40 Florida State Statutes.

Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact to the School District.
