177PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
179On February 10, 2014, DOAH received a letter from Josep h L.
191Hammons, Esquire, announcing that he was Ð the attorney
200representing the Escambia County School Board with regard to a
210request for formal hearing. Ñ Enclosed with the letter were three
221documents. One of the three was described by Mr. Hammons Ó letter
233a s Ð the Board Ó s approval of . . . [a] recommendation for
248enrollment in a return - to - work program . Ñ The other two documents
263were the recommendation, itself, and a copy of a petition and
274request for hearing by Ms. Terry Green.
281The petition, submitted by Ms. G reen Ó s attorney, stated that
293while employed by ECSD as a school bus driver, Ms. Green had been
306placed on leave with pay on December 5, 2013 , pending a
317Ð reasonable suspicion drug test . Ñ It further alleged that
328following the receipt of the test results, ECS D and Ms. Green
340entered a Return to Work Agreement which provided that she would
351submit to evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and
361any necessary rehabilitation.
364The petition claimed that Ms. Green is entitled to use sick
375leave Ð while she is evaluated and receiving rehabilitation for
385substance abuse, which is a sickness . Ñ Petition for Hearing ,
396at 2 ( emphasis supplied ) . In the Ð Relief Ñ section of the
411p etition, it requested that she be permitted Ð to take sick leave
424for the period December 18, 2013, until she has completed the
435evaluation and rehabilitation for substance abuse, or until that
444sick leave is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Ñ Id. at 3. 1/
456At the final hearing, the ECS D presented the testimony of
467two witnesses: Rob Doss, ECS D Ó s Dir ector of Transpor t ation; and
482Kevin Windham, ECS D Ó s Director of Risk Management. It offered
494into evidence five exhibits: Pet itione rÓs Ex hibit A, a Return to
507Work Agreement (First Time Positive Drug/Alcohol Screen) signed
515on December 6, 2013, by three part ies: Ms. Green, an

671Pet itione rÓs Ex hibit H, a ÐReasonable Suspicion Drug/Alcohol
681Testing Checklist for SupervisorsÑ that is a two - page document.
692Ms. Green offered the testimon y of four witnesses: Danny
702Authement, her supervisor at work; Henrietta Moye, her mother;
711Angela Green, her daughter; and Ms. Green, presenting her own
721testimony in the form of a narrative. Ms. Green offered two
732exhibits. Both were deemed irrelevant to the issue of whether
742substance abuse is a sickness and whether Ms. Green is entitled
753to sick leave pending evaluation and rehabilitation for substance
762abuse. But the two exhibits were accepted into the record for
773purposes of background in light of the bac kground information
783provided by the School Board in the presentation of its case - in -
797chief.
798The one - volume Transcript of the final hearing was filed
809with DOAH on April 17, 2014. A Proposed Recommended Order was
820timely filed by ECSD on April 25, 2014. It h as been reviewed and
834considered prior to the issuance of this Recommended Order.
843Ms. Green did not file a p roposed r ecommended o rder.
855FINDING S OF FACT
859A . Ms. Terry Green
8641. Ms. Green has been employed by ECSD for at least five
876years. ( See Hr Ó g Tr . 102, where the testimony indicates she was
891hired in 2008). At the time of the final hearing, Ms. Green was
904on leave without pay from her position as a school bus driver,
916her employment status with ECSD since December 18, 2013.
9252. As the driver of an ECSD s chool bus entrusted with the
938safety of the children she transports on school days, Ms. Green
949is required to meet certain criteria by the Department of
959Transportation. For example, she must have an annual medical
968examination. Ms. Green must also inform EC SD and the State of
980Florida of any pharmaceutical substances medically prescribed for
988her that she takes on a daily basis.
9963. Among the pharmaceutical substances on a list in her
1006patient profile with A&E Pharmacy in Pensacola is Ð Hydrocod/Apap
1016Tab10 - 325MG . Ñ Ms. Green referred to the substance at hearing by
1030its proprietary name: Ð Lortab . Ñ Ms. Green does not take Lortab
1043on a daily basis. She listed it as one of the pharmaceutical
1055substances that are prescribed for her when she was hired by ECSD
1067because s he takes Lortab occasionally.
1073B . Lortab
10764. Lortab is the proprietary name for a tablet prescribed
1086for pain management. Its active ingredients are Ð acetaminophen Ñ
1096(commonly known as Tylenol) and Ð hydrocodone . Ñ
11055. Ms. Green offered an exhibit ( Ex. R - 2, attached to the
1119T ranscript of the final hearing) , which shows relationships
1128between hydrocodone and codeine and morphine. It cannot be
1137determined on the state of this record whether Lortab metabolizes
1147in the human body into codeine and morphine , but the e xhibit
1159offered by Ms. Green raises that possibility.
1166C . Ms. Green Ó s Illness
11736. Ms. Green was ill for a period of about three weeks that
1186commenced around November 18, 2013 , and stretched into the early
1196part of the week of December 9, 2013. Her recovery f rom the
1209illness lasted until at least the end of January 2014. For much
1221of the time after November 25, 2013, during her illness and
1232recovery, Ms. Green was bed - ridden. The severity of her illness
1244was unusual. As Angela Green, her daughter, testified, Ð m y mom
1256has never been like that. Ñ Hr Ó g Tr. 83.
12677. Running a fever as high as 103 degrees, Ms. Green showed
1279up for work and drove her school bus from Monday, November 18
1291through Friday, November 22, 2013. Her illness continued through
1300the weekend of Satur day, November 23, 2013.
13088. On Sunday, November 24, 2013, Ms. Green Ó s mother tried
1320to convince her to go to an e mergency r oom ( Ð ER Ñ ) . She had seen
1340Ms. Green in the morning and observed, Ð she was a pretty sick
1353gal. Ñ Hr Ó g Tr. 75. The record is silent as t o whether Ms. Green
1370went to the ER , but it seems likely that she did not.
1382D . November 25, 2013
13879. Sometime during the early morning hours of Monday,
1396November 25, 2013, a school day, prior to reporting for work,
1407Ms. Green took a Lortab.
141210. Ms. Green wen t to work despite her illness and despite
1424having taken the Lortab. Her determination to report to work and
1435perform her duties is a characteristic ingrained in her from
1445early childhood. As her mother testified, she required Ms. Green
1455to attend school as a child unless she was Ð pretty much . . . on
1471[her] death bed. Ñ See Hr Ó g T r. 77.
148211. While Ms. Green was driving the school bus that
1492morning, a school bus assistant (another ECSD employee assigned
1501to the bus) became concerned about Ms. Green Ó s condition. The
1513concern was reported to the ECSD Ó s Office of the Director of
1526Transportation. A replacement driver was sent to the bus , and
1536Ms. Green returned to the office.
154212. A form to be used to help determine reasonable
1552suspicion for drug/alcohol testing, enti tled Ð Reasonable
1560Suspicion Drug/Alcohol Testing Checklist for Supervisors Ñ was
1568filled out by observers to determine whether Ms. Green should be
1579subjected to drug or alcohol testing. See Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. H.
159313. The form shows Ms. Green was observed at 9:05 a.m . in
1606the office. Her speech was slurred , and the checklist indicates
1616that she was mumbling. She stumbled, appeared dazed , and had
1626unkempt hair or clothing. Four boxes were checked on the form
1637under the section called Ð Today Ó s Job Performance Ñ : Ð Mistake s
1652due to p oor j udgment , Ñ Ð Low productivity/Taking longer to
1664complete tasks , Ñ Ð Complaints from other s about
1673behavior/attitude/driving , Ñ and Ð Late to work . Ñ Under
1683Ð Interpersonal Behavior , Ñ two boxes were checked: Ð Overly
1693sensitive to real/imagined criticis m , Ñ and Ð Major change in
1704personality . Ñ Typed onto the form with regard to the source
1716reporting any drug/alcohol use was: Ð Bus assistant reported
1725initially then corroborated in the office with two route managers
1735who see her frequently. Ñ The observations led to the conclusion,
1746Ð The combination of factors indicates she is under the
1756influence. Ñ The Ð Test Requested Ñ section of the form had a box
1770checked for Ð Drug and Alcohol . Ñ The form was signed by two
1784observing supervisor/officials and dated November 25, 2013 . T he
1794route managers , who observed Ms. Green , reported to the Director
1804of Transportation that there was a reasonable suspicion that
1813Ms. Green was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 2/
1824E . The Reasonable Suspicion Drug/Alcohol Test
183114. Ms. Green submitted to the drug/alcohol test the same
1841day. The test results are reported on a Ð Federal Drug Testing
1853Custody and Control Form. Ñ See Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. F, at 6. Dated
1869November 25, 2013, it shows ECSD as the Ð employer , Ñ Dr. Natalie
1882Hartenbaum of FirstLab as the medical review officer ( Ð MRO Ñ ), and
1896Ms. Green as the donor. Ms. Green signed a certification on the
1908form that she submitted an unadulterated urine specimen to the
1918laboratory Ó s collector and that the information affixed on the
1929specimen bottle was corr ect.
193415. The report shows the specimen was verified as positive
1944for two opiates: codeine and morphine.
1950F . The Timeline
195416. The third page in Pet itione r Ó s Exhibit F is a
1968Ð TIMELINE Ñ under Ð DONOR NAME: TERRY GREEN Ñ (the Ð Timeline Ñ ).
1983Compiled by FirstLab with regard to the specimen Ms. Green
1993submitted for analysis, the Timeline commences on November 25,
20022013 , and concludes with entries the following December 5 , 2013 .
201317. The Timeline shows that the specimen collected on
2022November 25, 2013, was received at the laboratory on November 26,
20332013, for drug/alcohol analysis.
203718. According to the Timeline, the laboratory transmitted
2045the result to FirstLab on December 3, 2013: Ð MORE TH E N [sic] ONE
2060SUBSTANCE FOUND . Ñ Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. F, at 6 .
207419. The Timeline shows in volvement of the MRO , beginning on
2085December 4, 2013. According to the Timeline, the MRO, after
2095being sent the documents for review, called the Donor
2104(Ms. Green). After an interview, the Timeline entry shows: Ð MRO
2115GAVE DONOR 24 HOURS TO FAX RX. Ñ The ent ry for December 4, 2013,
2130concludes : Ð MRO DETERMINATION MADE POSITIVE FOR CODEINE AND
2140MORPHINE. ANOTHER SUBSTANCE PENDING. Ñ Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. F , at 3 ,
2154TIMELINE (emphasis supplied).
215720. The Timeline shows two entries for December 5, 2013.
2167The first December 5 entry states: Ð MRO ASSISTANT REPORTED TO
2178PATSY FLOWERS POSITIVE FOR CODEINE, MORPHINE AND PENDING FOR
2187ANOTHER SUBSTANCE. MRO REC Ó D AND VERIFIED RX PROFILE FOR THE
2199OTHER SUBSTANCE. Ñ Id. (emphasis supplied). The second
2207December 5 entry and final Timelin e entry states: Ð MRO ASSISTANT
2219REPORTED TO PATSY FLOWERS VOICE MAIL, NO CHANGE IN RESULT. OTHER
2230SUBSTANCE NEGATIVE . Ñ Id. (emphasis supplied).
223721. It may be inferred from the timing of the report of the
2250positive for codeine and morphine (prior to a dete rmination on
2261the Ð other substance Ñ ), the reference to the receipt and
2273verification of the RX p rofile Ð for the other substance , Ñ and the
2287conclusion in a separate entry that the Ð other substance Ñ was
2299negative, that the MRO examined the RX profile only for th e other
2312substance. It may also be inferred, therefore, that the MRO did
2323not investigate whether the codeine and morphine positives in the
2333specimen could have been due to the ingestion and metaboliz ing of
2345Lortab or, as it is referred to on the RX p rofile, Ð HYDROCOD/APAP
2359TAB. Ñ See Ex . R - 1, attached to the T ranscript of the final
2375hearing.
2376G . The Return to Work Agreement
238322. The next day, December 6, 2013, Ms. Green interrupted a
2394stay at a hospital for the illness she had had since mid - November
2408in order to meet outside the hospital with an ECSD Administrator
2419and her Union Representative. The meeting led to the execution
2429of a Return to Work Agreement signed by Ms. Green, the ECSD
2441Administrator , and Ms. Green Ó s Union Representative.
244923. The title of the ag reement contains the following:
2459Ð FIRST TIME POSITIVE DRUG/ALCOHOL SCREEN . Ñ See Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. A.
2475The body of the agreement contains the following:
2483I, Terry Green, in exchange for my continued
2491employment with the School District of
2497Escambia County, Florida, and consistent with
2503the provisions of Article XI.3 - Discipline
2510Involving Drug or Alcohol Abuse or
2516Dependency, Section B, hereby acknowledge
2521that I have received a Ð First Time Ñ positive
2531drug/alcohol test result . . . . I am
2540required to undergo a Substanc e Abuse
2547Professional (SAP) evaluation and participate
2552in the SAP recommended drug/alcohol abuse
2558program at my expense with a goal of
2566returning to full employment upon my
2572successful completion of the prescribed
2577rehabilitation regimen.
2579Id. It is apparent t hat prior to November 25, 2013, Ms. Green
2592had not had a record of any drug or alcohol offenses while in the
2606employ of ESCD.
260924. The Return to Work Agreement acknowledges Ms. Green Ó s
2620understanding that she Ð had the benefit of competent legal
2630counsel and/o r Association representation [as shown by the
2639signature on the agreement of a Union/Legal
2646Representative] . . . . Ñ Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. A. It also acknowledges
2662Ms. Green Ó s entry into the agreement Ð voluntarily and without
2674duress or coercion of any kind and with f ull understanding of
2686[her] rights and any waiver thereof. Ñ Id. Nonetheless, at
2696hearing Ms. Green claimed that she signed the Return to Work
2707Agreement in reliance on her Union Representative Ó s advice
2717without fully understanding the agreement Ó s implication s. It was
2728not until she met with an attorney provided to her by the Union
2741who told her that she Ð had signed away [her] rights , Ñ Hr Ó g
2756T r. 91, that she fully realized its significance. Signing it was
2768an act she would not have committed, she asserted at hea ring,
2780even if it meant losing her job, had she thought it affected her
2793right to challenge the positive drug/alcohol test.
2800H . ECSD Action
280425. On December 5, 2013, ECSD notified Ms. Green that she
2815had been placed on leave with pay.
282226. Section IX.6(b)(6) of the Master Contract between the
2831School District of Escambia County, Florida and the Union of
2841Escambia Education Staff Professionals, FEA, NEA, AFT (the
2849Ð Master Contract Ñ ) 3/ states as follows:
2858Upon receipt of a positive test result in a
2867first offense dr ug or alcohol screening, the
2875employee may be administratively reassigned
2880to her/his home pending appropriate due
2886process procedures. The employee shall be
2892recommended for suspension without pay until
2898she/he completes a District and Union
2904approved Substanc e Abuse Professional (SAP)
2910evaluation and the drug/alcohol dependence or
2916abuse rehabilitation program at the
2921employees Ó expense as recommended by the SAP.
2929(The employee may utilize the District Health
2936Care Program to the extent specified for the
2944rehabilit ation program in the DHCP.)
2950Pet Ó r Ó s Ex. D , at 8 (page 35 of the Master Contract) .
296627. Consistent with the section of the Master Contract
2975quoted above, the s uperintendent of the ECSD recommended that
2985Ms. Green be placed on suspension without pay until com pletion of
2997an evaluation by the SAP and any rehabilitation program
3006recommended by the SAP.
301028. On December 17, 2013, the School Board approved the
3020s uperintendent Ó s recommendation , and Ms. Green was suspended
3030without pay beginning December 18, 2013.
303629. M s. Green Ó s subsequent request to use sick leave
3048beginning December 18, 2013, was denied by ECSD.
3056I . Ms. Green Ó s Petition
306330. On January 14, 2014, Ms. Green, through counsel
3072provided by the Union, submitted a Petition for Hearing to the
3083ECSD. The petiti on requests that Ms. Green be allowed to use
3095sick leave after December 18, 2013, the date the School Board
3106placed her on leave without pay.
311231. The Petition asserts that there are no disputed issues
3122of material fact. Facts cited in the petition include
3131Ms. Green Ó s employment as a school bus driver with ECSD, her
3144initial placement on leave with pay while a Ð reasonable
3154suspicion Ñ drug test was conducted, her entry into the Return to
3166Work Agreement, and the School Board Ó s subsequent placement of
3177Ms. Green o n leave without pay effective December 18, 2013.
318832. The Petition does not definitively admit that Ms. Green
3198is a substance abuser. Rather, it asserts that she Ð is unable to
3211perform her duties as a bus driver while she is evaluated and
3223receiving rehabili tation for substance abuse, which is a
3232sickness. Ñ Petition for Hearing , at 2, ¶ 9. The Petition,
3243therefore, depends on the evaluation of the SAP and a
3253determination that Ms. Green is in need of rehabilitation for
3263substance abuse. If Ms. Green were evalu ated by the SAP and
3275determined not to be in need of rehabilitation for substance
3285abuse, there would be no basis for the p etition or the relief it
3299seeks.
3300J . Ms. Green Ó s Need for Rehabilitation for Substance Abuse
331233. At the hearing, Ms. Green Ó s mother, He nrietta Moye, was
3325asked the following question by Ms. Green: Ð Have you ever
3336witnessed me being, in the last two years or almost two years
3348being here, under the influence of any type of drug to impair or
3361any type of alcoholic beverage to impair me? Ñ Ms. M oye answered,
3374Ð No. Ñ Hr Ó g Tr. 76.
338234. Ms. Moye , moreover, is not aware of any time in her
3394life that Ms. Green has abused any type of medication or consumed
3406alcohol to the point of intoxication.
341235. At the hearing, employees of ECSD did not contend that
3423M s. Green needs rehabilitation for substance abuse. Nor has ECSD
3434expressed its position based on Ms. Green Ó s relationship to
3445substance abuse. Rather, it bases its position solely on
3454procedures dictated by a single, first - time, drug report positive
3465for opi ates and the Return to Work Agreement.
347436. The record is silent as to the outcome of an evaluation
3486by the SAP or whether such an evaluation has ever been conducted.
3498K . Sick Leave
350237. Whether Ms. Green is in need of rehabilitation for
3512substance abuse or is a person free of substance abuse, no
3523evidence was produced at hearing that substance abuse is a
3533sickness that would entitle her to sick leave.
354138. Likewise, no statute, rule, regulation , or any
3549applicable law was produced by Ms. Green that would entitl e her
3561to sick leave for substance abuse while she was placed on leave
3573without pay pending an evaluation by the SAP.
3581CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
358439. The Division of Administrative Hearings has authority
3592under its contract with ECSD to conduct this proceeding and is sue
3604a Recommended Order. See § 120.65(6), Fla. Stat.
361240. Ms. Green has the burden of proving that she is
3623entitled to sick leave after her suspension without pay by the
3634School Board effective December 18, 2013.
364041. The School Board followed the procedure s prescribed by
3650the Master Contract between ECSD and the Union of Escambia
3660Education Staff Professionals.
366342. Ms. Green did not present evidence that substance abuse
3673in general or abuse of opiates, in particular, is a sickness.
368443. Ms. Green did not cite to any law, rule, regulation, or
3696provision in the Master Contract that would require ECSD to allow
3707an employee to use sick leave for substance abuse after the
3718employee entered a Return to Work Agreement and was suspended
3728without pay for a first - time, posi tive, drug test.
373944. No conclusion is reached as to whether Ms. Green
3749suffers from substance abuse.
3753RECOMMENDATION
3754Based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is
3766RECOMMENDED that the Escambia County School Board continue to
3775deny Ms. Green Ó s r equest to use sick leave during her suspension
3789without pay that the School Board imposed effective December 18,
37992013, and enter a final order that denies the relief sought in
3811Ms. Green Ó s petition.
