Centellas v. School Board of Dade County
Centellas v. School Board of Dade County
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a School Board decision which overruled the hearing examiner’s recommendation of a three-day suspension and fired outright a school bus driver for driving under a technically suspended operator’s license. In view of the conceded facts that Centellas — who had a previously unspoiled record of employment — was completely unaware of the “suspension” and that it resulted, not from any fault of his, but from an administrative snafu in the Dade County Court clerk’s office to which he did not contribute and which he corrected immediately after he became aware of it, we regard the punishment of dismissal as wildly
Reversed.
