School administrator in hot water for peddling district's lawnmowers on Facebook's online marketplace.
In a recent development, Steven Keenan, an employee of Akron Public Schools, has been suspended without pay following the sale of school property without proper authorisation from the college board.
The incident, which occurred in Akron, Ohio, involved the sale of 11 lawn mowers belonging to the school district. According to Keenan, the reason for the sale was to purchase new ones for the district. However, this action was taken without the college board's approval, leading to his suspension.
The college board made the decision to suspend Keenan at its meeting on Monday. The suspension is a part of the process leading to a potential termination, as the college board is currently considering firing Keenan. The recommendation for termination comes from the superintendent, Dr. David James Outley.
The suspension is unpaid, meaning Keenan is not receiving his usual wages during this period. The incident is related to the selling of school property without proper authorization, which is a violation of the staff's code of ethics.
The potential termination is also related to Keenan's actions regarding the sale of the school's lawn mowers. The lawn mowers were sold on Facebook Marketplace, a platform not authorised for such transactions by the college board.
It's important to note that the decision to fire Keenan is not yet final. The college board is still deliberating on the matter, and a decision will be made in due course.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to the school's policies and procedures, especially when it comes to the handling of school property. The Akron Public Schools administration is committed to maintaining the integrity and transparency of its operations.
