APPEALS
COMMITTEE
Upon a motion by
Mr. Bowen, second by Ms. Douglas, the Board approved to adopt the following
Final Decision in the appeal of Mr. Wayne Burch:
FINAL DECISION
IN THE APPEAL OF WAYNE BURCH
The State Board
of Technical and Adult Education adopts the findings of fact as recommended
by the Hearing Officer in his decision, dated September 2, 2003.
The State Board
further adopts the first four conclusions of law as recommended by
the Hearing Officer, but strikes the last two conclusions and substitutes
the following:
5.
Under
State Board policy and under the terms of his contract, Mr. Burch
could be lawfully terminated from employment for “cause.”
Under State Board policy, cause may include, but is not limited
to, “incompetence” or “inefficiency.” Incompetence
includes the inability to perform job duties due to prolonged physical
problems. It is also clear from the record that Mr. Burch’s
prolonged physical problems and numerous absences caused inefficiencies
in the workplace. Given this inefficiency and incompetence, the
President had cause to end Mr. Burch’s employment at the college.
Thus, the decision to terminate Mr. Burch is upheld.
6.
Mr. Burch’s appeal to the State Board was transferred to the
Office of State Administrative Hearings (“OSAH”) in
March of 2003 for the purpose of conducting a hearing. Approximately
6 months later, on September 2, 2003, the hearing officer entered
his Initial Decision. Both parties filed motions seeking clarification
of the Initial Decision. Usually such decisions are rendered in
three months or less. There has also been some confusion related
to the Initial Decision, including Mr. Burch reporting to work at
Georgia Aviation Technical College with a copy of the decision before
it was received by the Board or its attorney. In light of the delay
and confusion, the State Board exercises its equitable powers and
directs that Mr. Burch should be paid for the balance of his contract
beginning January 20, 2003, when he was medically able to return
to work.
