Status:
Receive the Administrative Complaint submitted by the Superintendent to immediately suspend without pay Christopher Marshall pending the termination of Mr. Marshall?s Professional Service Contract.
Mr. Christopher Marshall, a Professional Service Contract teacher, is being recommended for suspension without pay pending termination of employment in accordance with Florida Statutes 1001.51, 1012.27(5), 1012.33, and 1012.34. Performance concerns began in 2001 as an educator at Hollywood Hills High School. Mr. Marshall resisted placement on a Performance Development Plan (PDP) and was transferred to Flanagan High School to provide an opportunity at a different setting. At Flanagan High, performance concerns continued leading to placement on several cycles of Professional Development Plans in 2006 and 2007 which resulted in a satisfactory evaluation.
Mr. Marshall transferred to McArthur High School in 2007. Performance concerns continued throughout 2010-2013 resulting in disciplinary action. In 2013-2014, Mr. Marshall was placed on a ninety (90) day probationary period to formally assess and evaluate his performance in compliance with The School Board of Broward County, Florida and the Broward Teachers Union Collective Bargaining Agreement. He willfully refused to participate in strategies to improve his practice detailed in his Professional Development Plan (PDP) and unsuccessfully completed his PDP. Mr. Marshall failed to improve and earned an unsatisfactory Instructional Practice performance rating on the Broward Instructional Development and Growth Evaluation System (BrIDGES).
The cadre attorney prepared the Administrative Complaint, and notice was sent to the employee that a recommendation for suspension without pay and termination of employment would be presented to the School Board on June 24, 2014.
There is no financial impact to the District.
