Whether respondent should be terminated from her employment as a continuing contract school teacher, pursuant to Section 231.36(6), Florida Statutes (1981), for alleged gross insubordination within the meaning of Section 231.36(6), Florida Statutes (1981), and Rule 6B-4.09(4), Florida Administrative Code.Respondent willfully ignored orders to stop applying corporal punishment in classroom. Recommend suspension until Respondent changes attitude.

This matter is presented on the basis of an Administrative Complaint brought by the Petitioner against the Respondent calling for the possible revocation or suspension of Police Certificate No. 98-4492 held by the Respondent. The basis for this action is premised upon the allegations that the Respondent, over a period of approximately six (6) months, ending on March 31, 1979, received items from his brother Mike Wilcoxon which were reportedly stolen by his brother or a third party. The items included an outboard motor and a riding lawn mower. It is further contended that, during the course of an internal investigation by the Sheriff of Charlotte County, Florida, the Respondent's employer, concerning those items, the Respondent denied any knowledge of the fact that the items had been stolen when they were allegedly given to him by his brother. It is also alleged by the Administrative Complaint that on or about March 27, 1979, Respondent admitted to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Department that he had suspected the items had been stolen when presented to him and that he had lied and withheld the information from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Department in the course of the investigation. Finally, it is alleged that the Respondent made no attempt to see that the items were returned to the rightful owner or in any way aided the Charlotte County Sheriff's Department in its investigation concerning the stolen matters. These alleged actions on the part of the Respondent reputedly constituted a violation of Subsection 943.13(7), Florida Statutes, in that they demonstrate that the Respondent does not possess the good moral character as determined by investigation under procedures established by the Police Standards and Training Commission and, therefore, puts at issue the Respondent's ability to remain a police officer in the State of Florida.Respondent lacks good moral character required of police officers because he received stolen property (no conviction necessary). Suspend four years.
