Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Aug. 19, 2014
The issue in this case is whether the Education Practices Commission should take disciplinary action against the teacher certificate held by the Respondent, Allan Rubenstein, based on an Administrative Complaint charging him with violating Florida Administrative Code Rules 6A-10.081(3)(a) (failure to make reasonable effort to protect students from conditions harmful to learning or to students' mental or physical health or safety) and 6A-10.081(3)(e) (intentional exposure of students to unnecessary embarrassment or disparagement) and, therefore, violating section 1012.795(1)(j), Florida Statutes (2011) (for those rule violations). (The statutes and rules charged were those in effect at the time of the alleged violations.)Commissioner did not prove charges by clear and convincing evidence.
