Teacher sought review of final order of county school board, suspending her employment for fifteen days without pay and returning her from a professional service contract to an annual contract.
The district court of appeal, held that Florida K–20 Education Code does not grant school boards the authority to return an employee under a professional service contract to an annual contract.
A professional service contract under the Florida K–20 Education Code is a continuous contract which renews automatically, and can only be terminated for just cause or based upon uncorrected performance deficiencies.
