The Hearing Panels of the Education Practices Commission will consider final agency action in matters dealing with the disciplining of certified educators. If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Commission with respect to any matter considered at the hearings, he or she will need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made. The record will include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATION: Any person requiring a special impairment accommodation should contact Kathleen M. Richards at (850)245-0455, at least five (5) calendar days prior to the hearing. Persons who are hearing or speech impaired can contact the Commission using the Florida Dual Party Relay System at 711.
