90STATEMENT OF TH E ISSUE

95The issue to be determined in this proceeding is whether

105Respondent is entitled to back pay following reinstatement to

114employment after suspension without pay.

119PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

121On February 23, 2018 , Petitioner, Escambia School Board

129(ÐPetiti onerÑ or ÐSchool BoardÑ) , entered a final order in DOAH

140Case No. 17 - 4220 , which resulted in the School Board suspending

152Respondent , Justin Warren (ÐRespondentÑ or ÐMr. WarrenÑ) ,

159without pay. By lette r dated November 15, 2017, the

169s uperintendent notified R espondent that he would recommend that

179Respondent be reinstated to his position , effective November 17,

1882017. However, the recommendation did not include an award for

198back pay for the period of suspension without pay. On April 24,

2102018, Mr. Warren reques ted an a dministrative h earing to dispute

222the School BoardÓs determination to not award back pay following

232his reinstatement to employment. This matter was assigned to

241the undersigned on May 8, 2018. This matter was scheduled for

252hearing on July 11, 2018. On June 20, 2018, the parties

263requested a continuance, which was granted. The parties were

272instr ucted to file a status report by July 9, 2018. On July 6,

2862018, the p arties filed their Status Report stating they agreed

297to consolidate the Rule Challenge filed in DOAH Case

306No. 18 - 3340RX with the instant case. On July 6, 2018, the

319undersigned conducted a status conference to address scheduling

327the final hearing. Thereafter, th e undersigned entered an Order

337c onsolidating DOAH Case Nos. 18 - 2270 and 18 - 3340 RX and

351scheduling the final hearing for September 13, 2018.

359The final hearing proceeded as scheduled on Septem ber 13,

3692018. At hearing, the p arties offered three wi tnesses:

379James Alan Scott, Ed. D., assistant superintendent for human

388resources of the Esca mbia County School District (ÐSc hool

398DistrictÑ); Nicole Spika, e xecutive d irector of ESP and Union of

410Education Association; and Donna Sessions Waters, general

417counsel for the School District. Petitioner s offered Exhibits 1

427through 6, which were admitted. Respondent offered Exhibits 1

436through 9, which were admitted.

441Following the hearing, the undersigned granted the p artiesÓ

450request for an extended deadline of 30 days after filing of the

462official hearing transcript to file proposed recommended orders

470(ÐPR OsÑ). 1/ The one - volume Transcript of the hearing was filed

483on October 31, 2018, and the PROs were initially due on

494November 29, 2018. Thereafter, the parties requested an

502extension of time on three separate occasions, which the

511undersigned granted. A fo urth request for exte nsion of time was

523denied. The p arties filed their PROs after the designated time

534for filing, February 15, 2019, and , thus, were untimely.

543On February 18, 2019, Petitioners filed their Unopposed

551Motion to Deem Proposed Final Order Ti mely Filed. On

561February 19, 2019, Respondent filed a Motion for Submitting and

571Filing Proposed Recommended Order (case no. 18 - 2270) and

581Proposed Final Order (case no. 18 - 3340RX) Two Business Days out

593of Time. The undersigned hereby grants both motions . The

603p artiesÓ PROs were considered in preparing this Recommended

612Order.

613Unless otherwise indicated, all references to Florida

620Statutes are to the 2017 codification.

626FINDING S OF FACT

6301. At the final hearing, the p art ies stipulated to

641adopting the F indin gs of F act from DOAH Case No. 17 - 4220, which

657are incorporated herein as follows:

6621. Petitioner is the constitutional entity

668authorized to operate, control, and

673supervise the system of public schools in

680Escambia County, Florida. Art. IX, § 4(b),

687Fla. Cons t.; § 1001.32, Fla. Stat. The

695School Board has the statutory

700responsibility to prescribe qualifications

704for positions of employment and for the

711suspension and dismissal of employees

716subject to the requirements of chapter

7221012 .

7242. At all times relevant t o this

732proceeding, Respondent is a

736noninstructional support employee, who has

741been employed as a Custodial Worker I by

749the School Board since October 13, 2014.

756Mr. Warren worked 40 hours a week at Pine

765Forest High School. Mr. WarrenÓs position

771with the S chool Board is annual, rather

779than based on the academic school year

786calendar.

7873. During the regular school year,

793students are required to be on campus from

8018:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. After the school

809day, there are students who remain at the

817school for var ious activities with clubs

824and organizations. While students are

829present, custodial workers complete their

834duties and work assignments throughout the

840school. On a regular school day students

847may be present at the school for clubs and

856organizations until as late as 9:00 p.m.

8634. Respondent works the 2:00 p.m.

869to 10:30 p.m. shift and would be present

877when students are present.

8815. The background regarding RespondentÓs

886arrest arises from a dispute where it was

894alleged that he forged a quitclaim deed,

901tr ansferring property from his uncle to

908himself. On May 9, 2017, Respondent was

915arrested. Thereafter, an information was

920filed against Respondent by the State

926AttorneyÓs Office alleging that he

931knowingly obtained or endeavored to obtain

937certain property of another valued at

943$20,000.00 or more, but less than

950$100,000.00, in violation of section

956812.014(1)(a) and (1)(b), and (2)(b)1., a

962second degree felony.

9656. At the time of the final hearing,

973RespondentÓs criminal case was pending

978final disposition.

9807. On May 18, 2017, Superintendent of the

988School Board, Malcolm Thomas, provided

993written notice to Respondent that he was

1000suspended Ðwith p ay effective immediately

1006. . . pending the outcome of an arrest for

1016§812.014.2b1 [sic], F.S., a disqualifying

1021offense.Ñ The SuperintendentÓs letter did

1026not provide authority for the

1031SuperintendentÓs action. The

1034Superintendent also cited no authority for

1040his position that the alleged offense was a

1048Ðdisqualifying offense.Ñ

10508. Also, on May 18, 2017, the

1057Superintendent not ified Respondent of his

1063intent to recommend to the School Board

1070that Mr. Warren be placed on suspension

1077without pay beginning June 21, 2017. In

1084his request to the School Board, the

1091Superintendent stated that his

1095recommendation was Ðbased on conduct as

1101mor e specifically identified in the notice

1108letter to the employee.Ñ Similar to the

1115notice regarding the intended

1119recommendation, the Superintendent cited no

1124authority for his recommendation, nor his

1130position that the alleged offense was a

1137Ðdisqualifying offe nse.Ñ

11409. By letter dated June 21, 2017,

1147Dr. Scott advised Respondent that the

1153School Board voted to accept the

1159SuperintendentÓs recommendation placing him

1163on suspension without p ay, effective

1169June 21, 2017. As cause for Mr. WarrenÓs

1177suspension without p ay, Dr. ScottÓs letter

1184stated that it is Ðbased on conduct as more

1193specifically identified in the

1197[SuperintendentÓs] notice letter to the

1202employee.Ñ Dr. ScottÓs letter did not use

1209the term Ðdisqualifying offense,Ñ nor did

1216it cite any authority for the Sch ool

1224BoardÓs action.

122610. Respondent had no history of

1232disciplinary action during his employment

1237by the School Board. In addition,

1243Ms. Touchstone testified that Respondent

1248Ðhas been a good employee for us.Ñ

1255Additional Findings of Fact

12592. While DOAH Cas e No. 17 - 4220 addressed the issue of

1272whether the School Board had authority to suspend Mr. Warren

1282without pay until final resolution of the criminal charge

1291alleging a violation of section 812.014 ( 2 )( b ) 1 . , Florida

1305Statutes, the issue of reinstatement and ba ck pay were not at

1317issue in that case.

13213. There was no evidence offered at hearing that the

1331School Board offered Mr. Warren the opportunity to work in a

1342location that does not have direct contact with students until

1352the charges were resolved.

13564. Nearly five months after the Final O rder was entered in

1368DOAH Case No. 17 - 4220, the criminal charges , which served as the

1381basis for Mr. WarrenÓs suspension without pay , were dismissed.

1390As a result, the School Board reinstated Mr. Warren to his same

1402p osition as a custodial worker , effective November 17, 2017.

1412The School Board denied Mr. Warren back pay for the period he

1424was suspended without pay.

14285. The School Board relied on its Rules and Procedure

1438rul e 2.04 (2017), when it approved the recommendation to suspe nd

1450Mr. Warren without pay for the pending criminal charge.

14596. Rule 2.04 provides that Ða record clear of

1468disqualifying offenses as defined in section A . . . is required

1480for employment or continued employment. Ñ However, rule 2.04

1489fails to address the method of reinstatement or the condition

1499upon which an employee would receive back pay if criminal

1509allegations related to a potentially disqualifying offense were

1517resolved favorably for the employee.

15227. The School Board has refused to award back pay to

1533Mr. Warren on the basis that his criminal charges resulted from

1544actions outside the scope of his employment. There is no

1554written policy in rule 2.04 or otherwise that an existing

1564employee who is suspended without pay for conduct that occurred

1574outside the scope of his or her work environment is not entitled

1586to back pay upon reinstatement. It is simply general practice.

15968. The assistant superintendent of human resources for the

1605School District (Dr. Scott ) and the general counsel (Ms. Waters)

1616testified re garding the policy of not awarding back pay to

1627reinstated employees after suspension without pay.

16339. Dr. Scott, who has served as the assistant

1642superintendent of human resources for the School District since

16512005, testified that Ð[g]enerally, if an emplo yee is suspended

1661without pay based on criminal charges or investigation of

1670misconduct but in the scope of the employeeÓs position . . . and

1683the employee is subsequently exonerated and reinstated, back pay

1692will be awarded.Ñ By contrast, Ðif an employee is suspended

1702without pay pending criminal charges and/or investigation,

1709potentially, unlawful conduct unrelated to the employeeÓs

1716performance of their duties in his or employment, in the event

1727the employee is reinstated, back pay is generally not

1736award [ed] .Ñ Dr. Scott also testified that the DistrictÓs

1746practice Ðcan be a substituteÑ for a properly adopted rule. He

1757acknowledged that the policy has not been approved by the School

1768B oard. Moreover, he acknowledged that the policy is not based

1779on any adopted rul e.

178410. Ms. Waters also testified about the policy of not

1794awarding back pay. She testified that she Ðwas not able to

1805answer the question in the abstractÑ regarding whether the

1814policy was generally applicable. She stated that it would be Ða

1825fact kind of q uestion.Ñ

183011. In this case, Mr. Warren was deprived of wages that he

1842would have earned but for the suspension without pay for

1852criminal charges that were later dismissed.

185812. There was much discussion at hearing regarding whether

1867the School BoardÓs act ion of suspending Mr. Warren without pay

1878should be considered discipline. Ms. Spika testified that the

1887action of suspending Mr. Warren without pay is considered

1896disciplinary action.

189813. Discipline is defined in the Collective Bargaining

1906Agreement (Ð CBA Ñ) as including suspension without pay.

1915Discipline is also defined as corrective action to improve

1924be havior. Here, the School Board did not consider Mr. WarrenÓs

1935suspension without pay as disciplinary action as it was not

1945intended to correct his work per fo rmance or work place conduct.

1957CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

196014. The Division of Administrative Hearings has

1967jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter of this

1976proceeding pursuant to sections 120.56, 120.569, and 120.57(1),

1984Florida Statutes.

198615. Petitione r has standing in this proceeding. Section

1995120.56 allows a person who is substantially affected by a rule

2006or agency statement to initiate a challenge. To establish

2015standing under the Ðsubstantially affectedÑ test, a party must

2024demonstrate that: 1) the r ule will result in a real and

2036immediate injury in fact, and 2) the alleged interest is within

2047the zone of interest to be protected or regulated. Jacoby v.

2058Fla. Bd. of Med. , 917 So. 2d 358 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005); see also

2072Fla. Bd. of Med. v. Fla. Acad. of Co smetic Surgery , 808 So. 2d

2086243, 250 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002), superseded on other grounds , DepÓt

2097of Health v. Merritt , 919 So. 2d 561 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006).

210916. Mr. Warren has established that he is a

2118noninstructional employee of the School District, currently

2125working at a school within the School District, subject to

2135School Board rules. Moreover, he was reinstated to employment

2144following a suspension for a pending criminal arrest for a

2154potentially disqualifying offense. Mr. Warren is substantially

2161affected by the application of the School BoardÓs policy

2170regarding back pay.

217317. The party seeking to prove the affirmative of an issue

2184has the burden of proof. Fla. DepÓt of Transp. v. J.W.C. Co. ,

2196396 So. 2d 778 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981).

220418. The party seeking to prove this type of case must do

2216so by a preponderance of the evidence. § 120.57(1)(j), Fla.

2226Stat.

222719. Mr. Warren seeks to recover back pay for the time

2238period during the time he was suspended without pay. Thus,

2248Mr. Warren must prove by a prepondera nce of evidence that he is

2261entitled to back pay.

226520. To the extent there is a statute, rule, employment

2275contract, or CBA that authorizes such relief, Mr. Warren should

2285be reinstated and awarded full back pay and benefits. See Sch.

2296Bd. of Seminole Cnty . v. Morgan , 582 So. 2d 787, 788 (Fla. 5th

2310DCA 1991); Brooks v. Sch. Bd. of Brevard Cnty. , 419 So. 2d 659,

2323661 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982).

232821. There is no statutory authority to award back pay to a

2340noninstructional employee following suspension without pay.

23462 2. The CBA did not address the issue of back pay. School

2359Board rule 2.04, which served as the basis for Mr. WarrenÓs

2370suspension without pay , also did not address back pay under the

2381circumstances here. Finally, the undersigned is unaware whether

2389Petition er had an employment contract with the School Board as

2400none was offered at hearing.

240523. The testimony at hearing demonstrates that the School

2414Board had an unwritten practice or policy to deny back pay to

2426existing employees who had pending criminal char ge arising out

2436of conduct that was outside the scope of the employeeÓs

2446employment.

244724. But for this unwritten policy, Mr. Warren would have

2457been entitled to the salary and benefits he would have earned

2468during the period of suspension.

247325. Dr. Scott te stified that the School DistrictÓs

2482practice Ðcan be a substituteÑ for a properly adopted rule. He

2493testified that the policy was not based on any adopted rule.

2504However, based on the testimony of Dr. Scott and Ms. Waters, the

2516policy of refusing to award ba ck pay to employees charged with a

2529crime unrelated to the personÓs employment by its terms is not

2540limited to the facts. It is instead a general practice , which

2551applies to any employee who is similarly situated as Mr. Warren.

256226. There is no such requir ement in the statute or

2573rule 2.04. To impose such a stringent practice or policy here

2584would be impermissibly basing agency action on an unadopted

2593rule. This practice or policy would be applicable to any

2603similarly situated existing employee. The School B oardÓs action

2612in this respect constitutes an unadopted rule. Section

2620120.57(1)(e) prohibits an agency or an administrative law judge

2629from basing agency action that determines the substantial

2637interests of a party on an unadopted rule.

264527. The School Boa rd argued that Petitioner may not raise

2656a rule challenge in this matter because it should have been

2667raised pursuant to section 120.56(4)(g). However, section

2674120.56(4) does not preclude Respondent from raising an unadopted

2683r ule challenge during a disputed fact hearing under section

2693120.57(1). Petitioner, however, did not raise an unadopted rule

2702challenge argument here.

270528. To the extent the S chool B oard makes a determination

2717of awarding back pay to Mr. Warren, Ms. Waters testified the

2728decision regarding awarding back pay is Ða fact kind of

2738question.Ñ

273929. Consistent with Mr. WarrenÓs reinstatement, the facts

2747here support an award of back pay. The circumstances

2756surrounding the incident involved a family dispute over

2764property. The criminal charges were dismissed, and as a result,

2774the potentially disqualifying offense was not legally

2781substantiated. The School Board determined that the suspension

2789without pay would no t constitute discipline against Mr. Warren.

2799However, to deprive Mr. Warren of his interes t in the salary and

2812benefits he would have earned had he not been suspended without

2823pay would have the effect of disciplinary action.

283130. There appears to be ample authority for the School

2841Board to award back pay to Mr. Warren, and it is routinely done

2854when the alleged, but unproven , disqualifying offense is Ðwithin

2863the scope of employment.Ñ A rational basis to support a

2873distinction based on the relationship of the offense to

2882employment was not proven in this matter .

2890RECOMMENDATION

2891Based on the foregoin g Findings of Fact and Conclusions of

2902Law, it is RECOMMENDED that to the extent there is authority to

2914do so, Mr. Warren should be reinstated and awarded full back pay

2926and benefits. See Sch. Bd. of Seminole Cnty. v. Morgan , 582 So.

29382d 787, 788 (Fla. 5th DC A 1991); Brooks v. Sch. Bd. of Brevard

2952Cnty. , 419 So. 2d 659, 661 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982).
