Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Aug. 28, 1995
On August 2, 1995, David E. Sawyer, Superintendent of the Brevard County School District, filed a petition for dismissal of Respondent, Ronald H. Youmans, and termination of his continuing contract. The petition alleges that Respondent Youmans, a teacher and band director in the Brevard County school district, engaged in certain sexual acts with two female students between 1975 and 1981, and made inappropriate and sexually suggestive telephone calls to a third female student on or about January 6-8, 1994. The ultimate issue for disposition in this proceeding is whether the petition for dismissal and termination should be granted. Since Respondent argues that the school board's action is barred by laches, that legal issue must also be addressed.Band director had continuing sexual relationship with 2 students, also made improper phone call to another student. Guilty of immorality and misconduct.
