The member, a teacher, pleaded no contest to professional misconduct after being videotaped removing students' prescription medication (Dexadrine and Ritalin) from a locked storage closet without authorization.
The Discipline Committee accepted the Agreed Statement of Facts and found the member guilty of conduct unbecoming a member.
Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Committee ordered that the member be counselled, imposed a three-month suspension to be postponed and ultimately waived if the member complies with ongoing medical reporting requirements, and directed publication of the decision without the member's name, noting the conduct was an isolated incident triggered by past trauma.
