You don’t often hear of ethics complaints being filed against school personnel, but that is precisely what happened in this case. Although this particular case was not dismissed on the grounds that school personnel are not liable under Chapter 112 of the Florida Statutes, or that issuing false diplomas isn’t actionable, but because the case was brought apparently against the wrong person.

The Florida Commission of Ethics said this week that it does not believe that former school superintendent Grady “Sam” Markham misused his position in the issuance of three fraudulent diplomas in 2007 and dismissed the complaint against him.
