State Board of Education

Chapter:

EDUCATOR STANDARDS, PREPARATION AND PERFORMANCE

Overview

RULE:

6A-5.056

Criteria for Suspension and Dismissal

PURPOSE:

This rule was originally created in April 5, 1983, and provides the criteria for suspension and dismissal of school district instructional staff, supervisors and principals. In 2011, Senate Bill 736 called for a definition of just cause and other criteria for which a district may suspend or dismiss instructional personnel. School districts, and district instructional staff, supervisors and school principals will be affected as the rule defines the reasons a district may suspend or dismiss district instructional staff, supervisors, and school principals.

SUMMARY:

The rule is being substantially re-structured. The statute requires six areas be included in the definition of Just Cause. The new rule updates the definitions for each of the six areas and changes their order to mirror the statute.
