Peill v. Board of Education of the City School District
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided April 27, 1987
129 A.D.2d 799; 514 N.Y.S.2d 655; 1987 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 45488
Peill v. Board of Education of the City School District

Opinion of the Court

Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.

Based upon a review of the record, we find the respondent’s determination is supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, the determination will not be disturbed (see, Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 NY2d 222; Matter of Carian v Board of Educ., 128 AD2d 706).

We also find that under the circumstances of this case the imposed penalty of transferring the petitioner to a position other than that of a school bus driver was not so excessive as to shock the conscience (see, Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 NY2d 222, supra). Mollen, P. J., Mangano, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court

Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the respondent Board of Education of the City School District of Port Jervis, dated January 7, 1986, which, after a hearing, found the petitioner guilty of incompetence and misconduct and transferred her to a position other than that of a school bus driver.
