RESOLUTION

The Board of Education of the Richmond Heights Local School District, Richmond Heights, Ohio, met in regular session on the 10th day of September, 2012 at the offices of said Board with the following members present:

Linda Pliodzinskas Bobby Jordan Frank Barber Tamitra Peavy Aaron Burko

The Treasurer advised the Board that the notice of requirements of O.R.C. §121.22 and the implementing rules adopted by the Board pursuant thereto were complied with for the meeting.

Bobby Jordan moved the adoption of the following resolution:

WHEREAS, the Board employed Dr. Timothy Pingle as the Secondary School Principal under a administrator’s limited contract; and

WHEREAS, on February 27, 2012, the Board adopted a resolution declaring its intention to consider the termination of the administrator’s contract, including any supplemental contracts, of Dr. Timothy Pingle (“Dr. Pingle”) on the basis of good and just cause within the meaning of O.R.C. §3319.16. The specification of grounds for such consideration was as follows:

(A) Dr. Pingle’s statements to the Board President by email dated November 7, 2011 advocating that the Board violate Board Policy 2260B, and State and federal law, and disqualify a candidate for Interim Superintendent based upon the candidate’s race;

(B) Dr. Pingle’s repeated racially insensitive comments made during student assemblies at the beginning of the school year;

(C) Dr. Pingle’s racially derogatory statements and stereotypes as set forth in his November 6, 2011 email to the Board President;

(D) Dr. Pingle’s insubordination in directing the Secondary School Assistant Principal to not attend a “cabinet” meeting of administrators called by the Interim Superintendent on November 8, 2011, after the Interim Superintendent’s office had directed the Assistant Principal to attend that meeting; and,

(E) Dr. Pingle’s failure to properly and efficiently process student discipline referrals from November through his relief from duties in December, 2011, resulting in a backlog of almost a month in processing such referrals.

WHEREAS, the Board provided Dr. Pingle with written notice of its intention to consider the termination of his administrator’s contract, and Dr. Pingle requested a hearing before a Referee as provided by O.R.C. §3319.16; and

WHEREAS, Joel Hlavaty, Esq. was selected as Referee, and a hearing was conducted before him on May 17, 18, 21, and 31, 2012 and June 29, 2012; and

WHEREAS, on August 27, 2012, Referee Hlavaty issued his Report and Recommendation, finding in relevant part as follows: “* * * that Dr. Pingle’s emails of November 6 and 7, 2011, were not private emails, and that they had racial overtones and were racially insensitive. At worst they were racist and at best they showed poor judgment. I further find that while the Board may not have demonstrated three of the five bases for its resolution to consider the termination of Dr. Pingle, the two that it did demonstrate carry more weight than the other three, as they concern themselves with racial issues and the District was and is clearly still struggling in that regard. While the assemblies also concerned racial issues, I find that the racial comments made by Dr. Pingle in the two emails are sufficient to give the Board good and just cause to terminate his contract. In so finding, I note that as an administrator and secondary school principal, Dr. Pingle, in addition to his various duties and responsibilities, was or should have been a role model to others in the District, particularly teachers and students. Regardless of whether anyone outside of the Board knew of his emails, his action in sending them demonstrated conduct that was unacceptable and which the Board could not risk him repeating.”; and

WHEREAS, the Board has reviewed and considered Referee Hlavaty’s Report and Recommendation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Education of the Richmond Heights Local School District, Richmond Heights, Ohio that:

Section 1. The Board hereby accepts Referee Hlavaty’s Report and Recommendation, and hereby orders the termination of Dr. Pingle’s administrator’s limited contract on the grounds of good and just cause.

Section 2. The Treasurer is directed to provide Dr. Pingle with written notice of this action on behalf of the Board.

Section 3. It is found and determined that all formal actions of this Board concerning and relating to the adoption of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Board, and that all deliberations of this Board and any of its committees that resulted in such formal action were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with all legal requirements including O.R.C. §121.22

Section 2. The Board and the Association further agree that, from the date of this Agreement forward, teachers shall no longer take students’ cell phones or other personal belongings as collateral for portable District equipment that is lent by teachers to students.
