Re: Richard Corcoran vs. Charlotte Barcia

EPC No.: 22-0051-RT; DOE No.: 1310609

Dear Ms. Barcia:

Charlotte Barcia

Jacksonville, Florida 32256

As you know, a hearing panel of the Florida Education Practices Commission reviewed the matter pending against you

in its entirety. Based upon the panel's full consideration and upon the panel's acceptance of your Settlement Agreement

at a public hearing, you are hereby reprimanded.

The Commission, composed of teachers, administrators, parents, law enforcement officials, former school board

members and former superintendents, believes that educators must exercise a measure of leadership beyond reproach.

The Commission cannot condone any act that bears negatively on the profession’s integrity, nor can the public who

employ us.

This letter of reprimand is being placed in your state certification file, and a copy is being sent to the

Duval County School Board for placement in your personnel file.
