Failure to get approval to replace a concrete walk could very well cost Rob Doctor his job.

He had 10 days from the receipt of the letter to appeal the dismissal and request a hearing. As of Monday, August 10, there had been no hearing request.
The dismissal is based on not following district policy concerning the removal of a piece of concrete that was in good condition, and replacing it with a smaller piece which would allow for flower beds.
According to the letter Doctor was sent, sometime during the month of July, he had a section of concrete at Douglas High School removed and replaced without securing permission to do so.
The month before the incident, Chief Administrative Officer Ray Borane issued a directive that “Requests of the maintenance department in any area unless it is budgeted or a pre-approved item,” must be approved by the appropriate offices in Central Administration. On or about July 2, a requisition was placed for the removal of the existing sidewalk and its replacement adjacent to the Early Childhood Center on Estrella Avenue. While the requisition was made the project had not been submitted for approval to the CFO or school board.
The work began on July 19, and on July 20, Doctor requested additional funding for CTE/High School cement project from the Business Office and was told that he was not approved for additional funds. According to staff, the concrete was in good condition, and there were not tripping hazards.
His dismissal is failure to adhere to three district policies: Discipline of Professional Staff Members, Staff Ethics and Staff Ethics “Regulation.
