Findings Of Fact The Respondent Nathaniel Morrow has an extensive history of disruptive behavior committed within the school system beginning in September of 1981, when the Respondent was in the seventh grade at Palmetto Junior High School. His problems have included numerous fights, continuously disrupting classes, refusing to serve detentions, using inappropriate language, wrestling in the hall and inappropriately touching a female student. Following numerous parental conferences and further attempts at discipline, the Respondent was informed that his next offense would result in a recommendation of alternative school placement. The Respondent's negative behavior reached a peak on June 9, 1983, when he attempted to extort fifty cents from another student during a physical education class. The student refused and his shirt was torn. When the Respondent objected to paying for the damage to the shirt, a fight ensued during which the student was beaten and thrown to the floor by the Respondent. A physical education teacher witnessed the fight and pulled the Respondent away from the student. Following this incident, a recommendation wad made to transfer the Respondent to J.R.E. Lee, the Youth Opportunity School South, due to his disruption of the educational process in the regular school and his failure to adjust to the regular school program.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is RECOMMENDED: That Petitioner enter a Final Order assigning Nathaniel Morrow to its opportunity school.

Findings Of Fact Based upon my observation of the witnesses and their demeanor while testifying, the documentary evidence received, and the entire record compiled herein, I hereby make the following relevant findings of fact. Jorge Barahona is a sixteen (16) year old repeat eighth grader enrolled in the Respondent, School Board of Dade County, Public School System. Petitioner's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julio Barahona, were notified by letter dated March 16, 1983, by certified mail, return receipt requested, that Jorge, who was then attending Kinlock Park Junior High School, was being transferred to the Youth Opportunity School South based on his disruption of the educational process in the regular school program. Prior to the Respondent's decision to assign Petitioner to an alternative placement, Respondent, through its staff, undertook various measures in an effort to quell Jorge's disruptive activities and to provide an educational setting for him in a regular classroom. These measures included counselor referrals on October 13, 15, 19, 21, and 27, 1982. At that time, a committee including Petitioner's teacher, the school's then assistant principal, W. George Cosgrove, and a guidance counselor all discussed the Petitioner's disruptive activities and placed him in the "outreach program". The Outreach Program is designed to utilize extraordinary measures to attempt to foster respect in students who exhibit disruptive behavior while attending school in a regular classroom. While placed in the Outreach Program, Jorge was again referred repeatedly to counselors for disruptions. On November 1, 1982, Jorge was advised that his next referral would result in an indoor suspension. Petitioner was repeatedly absent from school during the early part of November, 1982, and when he returned to school on the fifth (5) day following the November vacation, he was again referred for counseling due to disruptive conduct. At that time, December 3, 1982, he was given a five-day indoor suspension. During mid-January, 1983, Petitioner was again referred for counseling by three instructors which resulted in an extension of an earlier indoor suspension. On November 21, 1983, Petitioner embarked upon a course of abusive and profane outbursts which resulted in his being escorted to the Principal's office where he was again given an additional two-day indoor suspension. Petitioner's defiant behavior continued and an internal disciplinary committee decided to recommend that he be reassigned to the Opportunity School Program at Youth Opportunity School South. The Position of Petitioner's Parents The Petitioner's parents voiced their contention that Petitioner did not violate any school rules when he was assigned to the regular school program and that Petitioner had recurring medical problems which were the cause of his behavior. Finally, the parents (of Petitioner) contend that the school officials are not treating the Petitioner fairly by recommending the alternative placement for Petitioner. The evidence reveals that Petitioner is eligible for an educational alternative program because he is disruptive, disinterested and unsuccessful in a normal school environment. Rule 6A-1.994(2), Florida Administrative Code. There is no evidence to support the Petitioner's claim that he was unfairly treated due to the fact that he is the subject of an alternative educational assignment. Respondent's recommendation of Petitioner was based on a history of repeated disruptions by Petitioner while enrolled in a regular school environment.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is hereby RECOMMENDED: That the School Board enter a Final Order assigning Petitioner to an alternative school program. RECOMMENDED this 10th day of October, 1983, in Tallahassee, Florida. JAMES E. BRADWELL, Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 10th day of October, 1983.
Findings Of Fact Respondent was reassigned from Homestead Senior High School to MacArthur Senior High School-South on January 7, 1983. This reassignment to the alternative school program was based on Respondent's frequent unexcused absences, repeated incidents of tardiness and recurring classroom disruptions during the current school year. Respondent seeks to have the record of one incident corrected where he was charged with trying to burn another student with a torch in shop class. He did not have this intention but was merely "horsing around."
Recommendation Based on the foregoing, it is RECOMMENDED that Petitioner enter its Final Order affirming Respondent's placement in the alternative education program. DONE and ENTERED this 6th day of May, 1983, in Tallahassee, Florida. R. T.

The Issue The issue herein concerns Respondent's appeal of the School Board's assignment of George S. Mulet, Jr. to an alternative school placement.
Findings Of Fact Based on the documentary evidence received and the entire record compiled herein, the following relevant facts are found: By letter dated February 9, 1983, the Petitioner, School Board of Dade County, Florida, administratively assigned Respondent, George Sixto Mulet, Jr. to Youth Opportunity School--South--in accordance with a recommendation of the principal and screening committee of the Petitioner's Department of Alternative Education Placement. The basis for that action was allegedly the Respondent's disruption of the educational process in the regular school program. By letter dated March 8, 1983, and received by the Division of Administrative Hearings on March 21, 1983, the Petitioner referred the matter to the Division of Administrative Hearings for a hearing pursuant to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. The matter was duly scheduled by copy of a notice of hearing served on the parties dated April 11, 1983, noticing the matter for hearing for April 27, 1983. In this regard, the undersigned's secretary received a message from Marta Quinones, Respondent's mother, stating that she was requesting a continuance of the hearing. The undersigned Hearing Officer's secretary advised the parent, Marta Quinones, that it would be necessary to request a continuance in writing. No such written request was received, nor was the undersigned Hearing Officer, or Petitioner's counsel, advised in writing, or otherwise, that the Respondents would not appear at the hearing as scheduled. Accordingly, I shall recommend that the matter be referred to the School Board of Dade County to take final action consistent with its preliminary assignment based on the Respondent's failure to administratively pursue its appeal rights.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings and conclusions, it is hereby RECOMMENDED: That the matter be referred back to the Petitioner, School Board of Dade County, Florida, to take final action pursuant to the recommendation made herein based on the Respondent's failure to exhaust, or otherwise pursue, its appeals protections pursuant to Chapter 120.57(1), Florida Statutes. RECOMMENDED this 17th day of May, 1983, in Tallahassee, Florida. JAMES E. BRADWELL, Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 17th day of May, 1983.

Findings Of Fact Respondent entered the seventh grade at North Miami Junior High School at the beginning of the 1982-83 school year. Petitioner reassigned him to the Jan Mann Opportunity School-North in December, 1982. Petitioner presented Respondent's school records which reflected ten separate incidents requiring disciplinary action between September and December, 1983. His grades for achievement, effort and conduct were unsatisfactory in all courses during this period.
Recommendation In consideration of the foregoing, it is RECOMMENDED: That Petitioner enter a Final Order affirming its assignment of Respondent to an educational alternative program. DONE and ENTERED this 26th day of April, 1983, in Tallahassee, Florida. R. T. CARPENTER, Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 26th day of April, 1983.

Findings Of Fact Based upon my observation of the witnesses and their demeanor while testifying, documentary evidence received and the entire record compiled herein, I hereby make the following relevant findings of fact. Keith O'Neil Vinson (date of birth November 1, 1968) was a student enrolled in the regular school program at Arvida Junior High school during the 1982/83 school year as an eighth grader. By letter dated August 18, 1983, Petitioner, the School Board of Dade County, Florida, advised the parent, Mrs. Yvonne Vinson, that Respondent, Keith D. Vinson, was being administratively assigned to Youth Opportunity School South based on his disruption of the educational process in the regular school program and his failure to adjust thereto. Keith is physically well-developed for his age. That is, he is approximately 6 feet 5 inches and weighs approximately 200 pounds. During the 1982-83 school year, Respondent was the subject of more than 10 suspensions and was called in for numerous teacher conferences based on his defiant and assaultive conduct with other students while enrolled at Southwood and Arvida Junior High School. (Testimony and admission of parent, Yvonne Vinson) From 1981 through 1983, Respondent engaged in repeated acts wherein he was involved in fights and assaults of other students. Despite repeated efforts to attempt to control Respondent's defiant behavior, his same pattern of conduct persisted. Although Respondent's mother, Mrs. Yvonne Vinson, testified that the Respondent's conduct has been exaggerated by school officials and that he was singled out for "petty matters," the evidence herein reveals and it is specifically found that the Respondent's conduct was disruptive of the regular school program throughout his enrollment therein.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is hereby recommended that the Respondent's appeal of the Petitioner's assignment of Respondent to an opportunity school program be DENIED. RECOMMENDED this 10th day of February, 1984, in Tallahassee, Florida. JAMES E. BRADWELL, Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 10th day of February, 1984.

Findings Of Fact Michael Rodriguez was a student at Henry H. Filer Junior High School during the 1984-85 and 1985-86 school years until his assignment to the alternative school. During the 1984-85 school year, Rodriguez was absent about fourteen days, ten of which occurred from May 1 to June 18, 1985. School began for the 1985-86 school year on September 4, 1985. During the first month and one-half, Rodriguez was absent eight days. On September 18, 23, and 30, 1985, Rodriguez was counseled and referred to the visiting teacher for cutting class and excessive absences. A formal complaint of truancy was filed on September 30, 1985. Rodriguez has shown that he will not attend school regularly and was counseled regarding his refusal to attend school. Additionally, when Rodriguez came to school, he left without administrative authority on several occasions. When Rodriguez attended school, he was able to perform at an acceptable level. As a result of his repeated truancy during the latter part of the 1984-85 school year, he received final grades of F in Science, D in Physical Education, C in Social Studies, D in Language Arts, F in Mathematics, and C in Shop. Rodriguez was retained in the seventh grade. He also received numerous effort grades of 3, which means he was making little or no effort in his studies. On February 26, 1985, Rodriguez was disciplined for fighting. On September 8, 1985, he was reprimanded for general disruptive behavior. As mentioned earlier, he was disciplined and counseled on September 18, 1985, for cutting class and excessive absences. On October 3, 1985, Rodriguez was placed on a three-day outdoor suspension for defiance of school authority and leaving class without permission. Rodriguez was counseled on several occasions regarding his truancy, lack, of effort and failing grades. His mother was also contacted and participated in a conference. A Child Study Team Conference was also held in which it was determined that Rodriguez has no learning disability and his failure is due to lack of effort and truancy.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the School Board of Dade County enter a Final Order assigning Michael Rodriguez to the alternative school program at Jan Mann Opportunity School-North. DONE and ORDERED this 19th day of February, 1986, in Tallahassee, Florida. DIANE K. KIESLING, Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32399 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 19th day of February, 1986.

Findings Of Fact Trayvis Taylor entered Miami Lakes Junior High School for the summer school session 1983. On August 17, 1983, he was seen throwing rocks at another student. When the counselor intervened, his glasses were broken in the scuffle. For the remainder of the 1983-84 school year and for that portion of the 1984-85 school year that Trayvis attended Miami Lakes, he was involved in numerous incidents of insubordination, lack of self-control, disrespect, disruptive behavior, fights, skipping class, tardiness, failure to follow class and school rules, lying, feeling girls' buttocks (twice), using socially unacceptable language, rudeness, and defiance. He did not make friends and appeared to lack the social skills to do so. He received unsatisfactory (D-F) grades in most classes. School administrators and teachers met with Trayvis' parents and counseled Trayvis in an effort to assist him. School officials have used progress reports in an attempt to communicate Trayvis' progress to his parents and to foster a cooperative effort. They have also made teacher changes and schedule changes in an attempt to help Trayvis' school adjustment. School officials have assigned detentions, indoor suspensions, and outdoor suspensions. They also recommended psychological testing, but Trayvis' mother rejected this. Trayvis has been placed in smaller remedial classes for reading, language arts and social studies. These efforts have been unsuccessful. On December 19, 1984, Trayvis was administratively assigned to Jan Mann Opportunity School, an educational alternative program. Mrs. Taylor objected to this placement and in January 1985, unilaterally enrolled Trayvis at the Academy for Community Education ("Academy"), an experimental, semi- private, educational alternative program administered by the Dade County Public School System. Trayvis has shown improvement since his enrollment at the Academy. He is in a self-contained room with the same teacher for all of his academic subjects. He is taught totally on a remedial level in this highly structured, closely supervised classroom. He participates in a behavior modification program and is demonstrating progress. His attitude has improved, and he is now doing predominantly C work and has begun to make friends.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing, it is RECOMMENDED that Petitioner enter a Final Order identifying Respondent as a disruptive student and assigning him to an educational alternative program; provided, however, that he be permitted to remain enrolled at the Academy for Community Education so long as he meets the requirements of that institution.

Findings Of Fact Joseph Cabaleiro was a student at Shenandoah Junior High School during the 1983-84 and 1984-85 school years until his assignment to the alternative school. During his attendance at Shenandoah, Cabaleiro was involved in numerous instances of misbehavior that required disciplinary action. During the 1983-84 school year, Cabaleiro was suspended for fighting on October 19, 1983, and for being continually disruptive in class on May 11, 1984. On December 13, 1984, Cabaleiro received a warning for being at an off-limits area during lunch. On January 17, 1985, he was disciplined for constant disruptive conduct in the classroom. He was given a three-day outdoor suspension for fighting on February 8, 1985, and a ten-day outdoor suspension for assault and battery on a teacher on February 20, 1985. This February 20, 1985, incident merits some discussion. An altercation occurred between Mr. Long, a P. E. teacher, and Cabaleiro. During the incident Cabaleiro cursed Mr. Long and Mr. Long allegedly threw a ball at Cabaleiro more than once. Cabaleiro then threw a set of wooden starting blocks at Mr. Long and went to the office to report that Mr. Long injured him with the ball. Cabaleiro alleges that he threw the wooden blocks to protect himself; but the evidence fails to support the need for such action in self defense. Cabaleiro left the playing field and went to the office without any attempt by Long to stop him. He could have left as easily before throwing the blocks. Throwing the blocks was not an act of self defense. On March 28, 1985, Cabaleiro was again suspended for general disruptive behavior. Finally on April 17, 1985, he was suspended for ten days for fighting. That same day he was reported for vandalism when a student saw him placing a piece of glass under the tire of Mr. Long's car. On April 18, 1985, Cabaleiro was recommended for assignment to the opportunity school. Academically, Cabaleiro has not been successful. His final grades for the 1983-84 school year were three F's and two D's with unsatisfactory grades in all classes for conduct and ratings of insufficient in effort for all classes. For the 1984-85 school year, Cabaleiro received F's in all classes academically, F's in all class for conduct, and 3's (insufficient) grades in all classes for effort. Additionally, from September 4, 1984 to March 5, 1985, Cabaleiro missed 41 days of school, with 13 of those days being outdoor suspensions and 28 of those days being absences.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the School Board of Dade County enter a Final Order assigning Joseph Cabaleiro to the alternative school program at Youth Opportunity School-South. DONE and ENTERED this 26th of September, 1985, in Tallahassee; Leon County, Florida. DIANE K.

Findings Of Fact During the 1985-86 school year Respondent Gregory Hunter Stephens was a student in the tenth grade at Miami Sunset Senior High School. On April 18, 1986, during the lunch period Respondent drove into the faculty parking lot in his Corvette with the police following closely behind. It was determined that during his lunch break Respondent had been driving his Corvette in a nearby condominium development threatening residents and throwing beer cans on the lawns. The residents had summoned the police. An Assistant Principal held a conference with Respondent's father whose response was that the police should have better things to do than to bother his son for drinking beer and driving around during his lunch break. Respondent was given a three-day suspension. On May 22, 1986, Respondent got into a fight in class, a Group III violation of the Code of Student Conduct. A conference was held with Respondent's father, and Respondent was given a ten-day suspension. Although other informal discussions were held with Respondent's father during that school year, by the end of the third grading period Respondent's grades were one "C," one "D," and 4 "Fs." His absences from his classes during the third grading period alone ranged between 2 and 13. He received only a "3" for his effort in each and every class. During the 1985-86 school year, Respondent was absent 95 days out of the 180-day school year. On March 3, 1987, an Assistant Principal observed Respondent leaving the campus during Respondent's second-period class. He stopped Respondent and gave him a warning. A few minutes later he caught Respondent again attempting to leave. Respondent's mother was contacted, and Respondent was given a "work detail detention." On April 2, 1987, a fight broke out off campus between a group of Latin students and a group of Anglo students. On the following day Respondent admitted to an Assistant Principal that he was one of the participants. All of the students involved (including Respondent) were suspended for three days for that Group III Code violation. On October 19, 1987, Respondent was nearly involved in a collision in the parking lot. Respondent got out of his car and started pushing the other driver. A fight ensued. Respondent's parents were contacted, and he was given a ten-day suspension. By the time of the October 19th incident, Respondent had already been absent 6 days that school year. Further, although the Assistant Principal had two conferences with Respondent's father during the month of October, Respondent was receiving one "C," one "D," and five "Fs" in his classes. A Child Study Team was convened, and a meeting was held on November 3, 1987. Respondent and his parents refused to attend. The Team recommended that Respondent be transferred to Douglas MacArthur Senior High School-South, based upon the October 19, 1987, incident, his failing grades during the most-recent two years, and Respondent's chronic aggressive behavior which constituted a threat to the welfare of the other students. It was determined that Respondent required assistance a normal school could not provide and that a structured environment would be more appropriate since the educators at Miami Sunset Senior High School had unsuccessfully attempted to modify Respondent's behavior by conferences between Respondent and a counselor, meetings between Respondent's parents and assistant principals, indoor suspensions, outdoor suspensions, and work detail suspensions
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is, RECOMMENDED that a Final Order be entered assigning Respondent Gregory Hunter Stephens to the opportunity school program at Douglas MacArthur Senior High School-South until such time as his performance reveals that he can be returned to the regular school program. DONE and RECOMMENDED this 29th day of March, 1988, at Tallahassee, Florida. LINDA M.
