Synopsis
|
Grievant was employed as a custodian until his dismissal from employment. The Board has not shown a direct nexus between grievant's off-duty conduct and his ability to perform the custodial duties of sweeping, mopping and clearing school rooms before or after his arrest. An application of Golden to the instant case finds the board wanting as there was no evidence that the grievant's misconduct directly affected his performance of his occupational responsibilities before or after his arrest, or became a subject of widespread, adverse community reaction. While the conduct and misdemeanor convictions cannot be condoned, grievant's conduct did not involve students or school personnel nor does the evidence indicate a potential for future off-duty or private misconduct or misconduct directly involving school students and personnel and gr has been sufficiently punished by society for his transgressions.
