Hi Joseph! What legal issue are you facing? Let me know so I can provide some helpful information.
A potential Civil Rights Violation
Got it, Joseph. Could you provide a bit more detail about the situation involving the potential civil rights violation? This will help me give you more precise information.
I was employed as a Chief Financial Officer of a School District. The school district brought me up on administrative charges. Both parties settled the charges and the employer paid me over $*,*. The charges were dropped and I resigned in good standing. This position requires a State certification. I began effectively competing for a new position in my field. 13 months later the State issued an order to show cause as to why my license should not be revoked or suspended. I answered the order to show cause. The State did not offer me a due process hearing for seven years since my resignation in good standing. Then they cancelled due to Covid. The State requested and was given adjournments because they could not find a witness. The State has the ability to address this issue at a regular meeting but refused.
It sounds like you're experiencing a serious issue involving your rights to due process. Here are some general points regarding due process and potential civil rights violations:
- Due process is a constitutional right, ensuring fair procedures before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property.
- Delays in hearings can potentially violate due process rights, especially if they impact your ability to work.
- Civil rights violations may occur if the delay or denial of a hearing affects your rights unfairly or discriminates against you.
