The school board granted unanimous consent to allow the board chair to issue pre- and post-hearing orders and delegated authority for procedural matters to the board attorney as parties seek to reschedule a pending employee termination hearing.
The District School Board of Pasco County on Tuesday granted unanimous consent for the board chair to enter prehearing and posthearing orders and authorized the board attorney to act as the board—s representative in a pending employee termination matter.
Attorney Meeker told the board that an employee termination hearing had been scheduled with a filing deadline of Aug. 8 and tentatively set for Aug. 5. "Now I'm doing what I can to work with both parties to try to get it rescheduled," Meeker said, and asked the board for unanimous consent to give the chair and the district attorney authority to handle prehearing and procedural matters. The board gave that unanimous consent during the meeting.
No names of the employee or additional case details were disclosed during the public portion of the meeting. Meeker said he and board staff are coordinating on scheduling and will keep the board updated.
