The SCHOOL BOARD OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Florida, Appellant, v. Christopher SUTTON and Florida Unemployment Appeals Commission, Appellees.
    No. 97-3143.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 3, 1998.
    Carlos E. Mustelier, Jr., Miami, for appellant.
    John D. Maher, Tallahassee, for appellees.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and COPE, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

As the Unemployment Appeals Commission properly held, the failure of the appellee to become eligible for a permanent teaching certificate, resulting in his discharge, did not amount to “misconduct” disqualifying him from unemployment compensation benefits. Savage v. Macy’s East Inc., 708 So.2d 689 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998); Mompoint v. Ward Stone College, Inc., 701 So.2d 1267 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); Pion v. Miami Paper & Plastic, Inc., 698 So.2d 1379 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); see Gulf County School Bd. v. Washington, 567 So.2d 420 (Fla.1990).

Affirmed.
