Agreement. If Respondent is not currently employed in a position requiring a Florida educator’s

certificate, probation shall begin upon her re-employment in such a position. In the event

Respondent’s employment is interrupted for any reason prior to the expiration of probation, the

probation shall be tolled until Respondent resumes employment in a position requiring a Florida

educator’s certificate. If applicable, this probationary period shall commence upon completion

of any previous and currently incomplete probationary period imposed by a Final Order issued

by the Education Practices Commission. As conditions of probation, Respondent:

a. shall immediately contact the Department of Education upon employment

in Florida in a position requiring a Florida educator’s certificate or upon termination from such a

position. If currently employed in such a position, Respondent shall contact the Department of

Education within ten (10) days of the issuance of the Final Order accepting this Settlement

Agreement and Respondent shall provide the Department of Education with the name and

address of her work site as well as the name, address and telephone number of her immediate

supervisor;

b. shall make arrangements for her immediate supervisor to provide the EPC

with a true and accurate copy of each written annual performance evaluation or assessment

prepared by her supervisor within ten (10) days of its preparation;

c. shall pay to the EPC $150.00 within the first six (6) months of each

probation year to defray the costs of monitoring probation;

d. shall have the scope of her employment restricted to not proctoring,

supervising or administering any state or national standardized tests, including, but not limited

to, the FSA, HSCT, FCAT, ASVAB, PSAT, SAT and ACT, unless another proctor or

administrator is present for the duration of the test;

e. shall violate no law and fully comply with all district school board

regulations, school rules, and State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.081; and

f. shall satisfactorily perform her duties in a competent, professional manner.

6. Fine. Respondent agrees to pay a fine in the amount of $750.00 to the EPC

within the probationary period.

herein, she agrees that the Petitioner shall be authorized to file an Administrative Complaint or a

Notice of Violation with the EPC seeking sanctions against her Florida educator’s certificate up

to and including permanent revocation of her Florida educator’s certificate and a permanent bar

from re-application for a Florida educator’s certificate, based upon the violation of the terms of

8. Costs and Fees. Respondent agrees that any costs associated with the fulfillment

of the terms of this Settlement Agreement shall be her sole responsibility. These costs include,

but are not limited to, those associated with the Recovery Network Program (RNP) and

Probation, if applicable. The probation monitoring fee shall be held in abeyance if Respondent is

not employed as an educator pursuant to the terms of the Probation.

9. Force and Effect. This Settlement Agreement constitutes an offer of settlement

of disputed issues of material fact until accepted and executed by all parties. The Settlement

Agreement has no force or effect unless executed by all parties. Upon execution by the parties,

this Settlement Agreement is a binding contract and neither party may withdraw prior to

consideration of this Settlement Agreement by the EPC. Approval of this Settlement Agreement

by the EPC is a condition subsequent. If the executed Settlement Agreement is rejected by the

EPC, it becomes void. If the Settlement Agreement is not accepted and executed by all parties,

the terms herein shall be inadmissible in any subsequent formal or informal administrative

hearing or in any other legal action between the parties.

10. Notice of “Three Strikes” Provision. Respondent is hereby put on notice that

Section 1012.795(6)(b), Florida Statutes, provides for permanent revocation of an educator’s

certificate under certain circumstances when the educator’s certificate has been sanctioned by the

Education Practices Commission on two (2) previous occasions.

11. Waiver of Rights. Respondent understands provisions of this Settlement

Agreement, their legal effect, and her rights under Florida law to a formal hearing before a duly

designated administrative law judge of the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) or an

informal hearing before the EPC. Respondent specifically waives her right to both a formal and

an informal hearing, except she may appear before the EPC in order to urge the adoption of this

Settlement Agreement. Respondent further acknowledges that she is under no duress, coercion

or undue influence to execute this Settlement Agreement and that she has had the opportunity to

receive the advice of legal counsel prior to signing this Settlement Agreement.

12. Approval. The parties intend to be bound by this Agreement. When fully

executed, this Settlement Agreement is a binding contract and shall be submitted to the EPC with

the joint request by the parties that the EPC accept and adopt the terms of this Settlement

Agreement as the basis for its Final Order in this proceeding. The parties understand that the

EPC has the discretion to reject this Settlement Agreement and order a full evidentiary hearing

on the allegations of the Administrative Complaint if, in the exercise of its discretion, it deems

such action to be appropriate.

13. Notice. Respondent waives all statutory and regulatory provisions concerning

notice of hearing and agrees that this Settlement Agreement may be presented to the EPC for

consideration at its next available scheduled meeting, provided that Respondent is given

reasonable advanced notice of time, place and date of said meeting.
