Legal Question in Education Law in Florida
Education Law
I have been in education for 40 yrs. with an outstanding record of achievement. Presently, I am assist vp at a school in florida. I was the last person hired in administration in our county. My most recent job evaluation was a 10/10. I have been in this position for 3 years with a year to year contract. I have been told by our superintendent that my contract would not be renewed as of this June. However, I understand the position will be replaced with a person of the superintndent's choosing. Is this legal? I am 61 yrs old and plan to work until I am 70. I feel, since I am highly compensated due to my years, that this is age discrimination at the very least. I appreciate your opinions.

Re: Education Law
Is this a private school -- if so, you may have a claim, but only if they replace your position. If they are trimming because of the economy -- well -- you were the last hired and age would not insulate you.
