Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Teaching Certificate

2 years ago I made a switch from Zoloft 150MG to 20MG of Prosaic. The Doctor had me stop one and just begin the other. I went back several times stating it was not working, but during this time my OCD behavior grew worse. I ended up accepting a please by the state department of education in Florida to be on probation, but now I cannot seek any government employment as a result even though it is just educational probation for two years because this action is on my permanent record. Prior I had 8 years of positive reviews on this one miss up and have since had 2 consecutive years of positive reviews. I am sure this sounds like the same old story. I accept my actions, but want to make amends. I am not looking to ever teach again because of the humiliation, but would like to be able to seek other employment and put this behind. Is there anything I can do?

Re: Teaching Certificate

You may just have to get a job in a different industry. Certain convictions or crimes do prevent you from working in some jobs. There is not much you can do about that.
