Board approves suspension without pay for two teachers after arrests
Summary
The board approved superintendent recommendations to place two district teachers on suspension without pay pending outcomes related to recent arrests; the actions were approved by roll-call votes.
The Bay County School Board on July 22 approved the superintendent’s recommendations to place two district teachers on suspension without pay after recent arrests.
Superintendent McQueen recommended Summer Chester, a teacher at Surfside Middle School, be placed on suspension without pay "due to the nature of a recent event arrest," and later recommended Sean Watson, a teacher at Rutherford High School, be placed on suspension without pay for a similar reason. The superintendent presented each recommendation in turn and noted the suspensions were recommended based on the events described to the district.
Board members moved and seconded the motions. The roll-call votes recorded Miss Leonard, Mr. Chester, Mr. Moore, Mr. Register and Chairman Moss as voting yes on both suspensions; both motions carried.
No additional employment details, charges or investigative findings were read into the record at the meeting. The superintendent indicated the personnel actions were administrative recommendations; no appeals or next steps were stated on the record during the meeting.
