Edward M. CAPUTO, Appellant, v. The SCHOOL BOARD OF MONROE COUNTY, Appellee.
    No. 86-469.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Oct. 28, 1986.
    Ellis Rubin and Harry Matthew Fuqua, Miami, for appellant.
    Muller, Mintz, Kornreich, Caldwell, Casey, Crosland & Bramnick, and Michael Casey, Miami, for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUB-BART and BASKIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

There is competent substantial evidence to support the hearing officer’s conclusion that the appellant, a Monroe County school principal, deliberately and unjustifiably refused to obey a lawful, reasonable order of the superintendent. See Caputo v. Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission, 493 So.2d 1121 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986) (upholding denial of unemployment compensation benefits on ground that identical conduct was “misconduct connected with his work”). Accordingly, the action of the School Board adopting this finding and the recommendation that the appellant be dismissed from employment is

Affirmed.
