SUPPLEMENT NO. 1
Item 1 That the Board take final and formal action to terminate the employment and teaching
contract of Stephanie S. Foy in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 3319.16 and the
collective bargaining agreement, effective September 26, 2005. The grounds for my
recommendation are stated in the resolution. No written request for a hearing has been
filed with the Treasurer within ten (10) days of the employee’s receipt of the amended
notice to consider the termination of the teaching contract of Stephanie S. Foy.
#05-182
WHEREAS, The Superintendent of the Akron City School District recommends the termination of the
employment and teaching contract of Stephanie S. Foy; and,
WHEREAS, The Board of Education, through its Treasurer, gave notice of its intent to consider the
termination of Stephanie S. Foy; and,
WHEREAS, No timely written request for a hearing was filed; and,
WHEREAS, The Board of Education finds that all of the below-listed grounds are proven and
supported by a preponderance of the evidence pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section
3319.16 and the applicable collective bargaining agreement; and,
WHEREAS, The Board of Education desires to take formal final action to terminate the employment
and teaching contract of Stephanie S. Foy;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Education for the Akron City School District,
County of Summit, State of Ohio, that the employment and teaching contract of Stephanie S. Foy are
hereby and forever terminated effective immediately and this Board of Education finds a
preponderance of the evidence proves and supports the following facts and grounds:
On or about June 30, 2005, Stephanie S. Foy entered guilty pleas to the following charges:
1) Possession of Cocaine in violation of Ohio Revised Code Section 2925.11(A), a felony of the fifth
degree,
2) Illegal Use or Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in violation of Ohio Revised Code Section
2925.14(C)(1), a fourth-degree misdemeanor,
3) Driving Under Suspension, a violation of Ohio Revised Code Section 4510.11, a misdemeanor of
the first degree.
The Journal Entry, filed June 30, 2005, is incorporated herein as if fully re-written in the case of State
of Ohio v. Stephanie Foy, Summit County Common Pleas Court, Case No.: 05-05-1842.

These guilty pleas were based upon an incident occurring on or about May 24, 2005, in which Ms.
Foy was driving a vehicle with a passenger who was a known drug user and prostitute. She pulled
her vehicle up in front of a known “crack” house and her passenger entered the house while she
waited in the vehicle. A few minutes later, her passenger exited the house and re-entered her vehicle.
Ms. Foy then proceeded to drive away. This pattern is consistent with the pattern used by drug users
making a short-term stop at the house to purchase illegal drugs.
Subsequently, she was stopped by uniformed Akron City Police Officers. As the officers approached
her vehicle, Ms. Foy was seen shoving a substance down her pants. She was belligerent and
uncooperative with the officers. She was found to be in possession of a crushed rock of cocaine
having a street value of about $20.00 and a metal crack pipe. She was arrested, and news of her
conduct was published in both the print media and broadcast media in the Akron metropolitan area. In
addition, news of her arrest spread by word of mouth among the parents of the children of Akron
Public Schools. She was identified as a teacher of Akron Public Schools, and this adverse publicity
further resulted in more than a dozen phone calls from upset parents to the principal of Hyre Middle
School where she taught. In addition, the publication in the news media of her misconduct publicly
brought discredit upon herself and upon the Akron City School District.
She also has two prior Driving While Under the Influence convictions within the last 10 years.
On or about February 2, 2005, she left school at lunch without permission and did not return to
resume her teaching duties until after Spring Break ended, which was on or about April 1, 2005. She
forced the principal to scramble to find teachers to cover her afternoon classes and her cafeteria duty
that day as well as for the subsequent days of absence.
On or about November 30, 2004, she was late arriving to her second period class.
On or about November 29, 2004, she was again late in returning to school to perform her lunch duty.
On or about November 9, 2004, she was late in returning from an off-site lunch and therefore late for
performing her lunch duty in the school building.
On or about November 8, 2004, she left the school building without permission and abandoned her
students to the care of another teacher.
These facts constitute grounds for the termination of her teaching contract under Ohio Revised Code
Section 3319.16 and the applicable collective bargaining agreement for the reasons of gross
inefficiency, willful and persistent violations of reasonable regulations of the Board of Education, and
for other good and just cause.
Mrs. Mary Stormer moved approval of the Superintendent’s Recommendations, Supplement No. 1
and Resolution #05-182. Seconded by Rev. Curtis Walker. Ayes (6) Allison, Kersker, Omobien,
