Florida Statutes (Laws)
Florida Statute 1012.335:
Probationary Contracts
Section (1)(c) states that, "A district school board may not award a probationary contract more than once to the same employee unless the employee was rehired after a break in service for which an authorized leave of absence was not granted." - I did not request any of my employment separations, all of my terminations were the decision of the district.
Section (2)(a) states that, "...each individual newly hired as instructional personnel by the district school board shall be awarded a probationary contract. Upon successful completion of the probationary contract, the district school board may award an annual contract..." - If my contract is with the district school board, then why do administrators and district personnel have the authority to terminate teachers? I was never contacted by any member of the Lee County School Board for any of my terminations.

Contract 4 (2018) & Contract 5 (2019) were both probationary contracts. There is no documentation on these contracts in my personnel file.
Teacher Contracts
Teacher Contracts
Florida Statute 1012.335 states that there are two different types of contracts for instructional personnel – probationary and annual. A probationary contract is a contract for a period of 1 school year awarded to instructional personnel upon initial [newly hired] employment in a school district. Probationary contract employees may be dismissed without cause or may resign without breach of contract. It is important to note that according to this statute, “A district school board may not award a probationary contract more than once to the same employee…”. Upon successful completion of the probationary contract, the district school board may award an annual contract.
The Delayed Discovery Doctrine
The Delayed Discovery Law
The delayed discovery rule (law) provides that the statute of limitations clock does not start running until the plaintiff should have been aware of the injury, the cause of the injury, and a reasonable notice that the injury was caused by wrongdoing. This rule is mentioned in Florida Statute 95.031 (2)(a).
The discovery rule provides that the statute of limitations on bringing a claim does not begin to run until the date on which a claimant actually discovers (or should have discovered) an injury or loss —rather than on the date when the wrongful act giving rise to the injury or loss took place.
In Florida, the delayed discovery rule creates a new start date for the statute of limitations. The date you discover your injuries — not the date of the accident – becomes the date from which you calculate the time limit.
