Jeff Burke, Assistant Superintendent, Finance Officer, for the Fleming County School District Office has been terminated according to information released by the Fleming County Schools district office.
Superintendent Kelley Crain said that Burke, who had been suspended with pay since March 28, had been under investigation by the district office.
“In recent weeks I have been provided information which warrants adverse personnel action against Assistant Superintendent Jeff Burke. On Monday, April 21, 2008, I determined to terminate Mr. Burke’s employment contract. Under state law, this termination decision is not yet final and Mr. Burke has the right to request an administrative hearing before a tribunal,” Kelley said.
The tribunal is three member panel consisting of a current or former school administrator, a current or former school teacher, and a lay person, none of whom resides in Fleming County. The panel is presided over by a hearing officer assigned by the Office of The Attorney General. Burke has the exclusive statutory right to determine whether the hearing is open to the public. No documents or additional information relating to this issue will be made public until the administrative process is concluded, according to Crain.
