The Respondent is not guilty with respect to the remaining specifications. The school district appealed seeking to have me find the teacher guilty on all charges and terminated. The teacher also appealed seeking a remand to the panel. I annulled the decision and held that the panel failed to make findings of fact to support its determination. I further held that the penalty was improper and that the determination was devoid of analysis and therefore inadequate.
Petitioner seeks an order increasing the panel's penalty to dismissal.
Respondent seeks an order overturning the panel's findings of guilt and remanding the case to the hearing panel for more specific findings. Before reaching the merits, I will address a procedural matter. Pursuant to that section, a hearing panel must set forth the reasons and the factual basis for its determination. The panel determination currently before me sufficiently sets forth the factual basis for the determination and contains an analysis as to why those facts support the panel's findings. Accordingly, I find no basis to remand this decision for yet another determination.
