Supreme Court of Delaware

Husbands v. Department of Education

April 7, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment and the Professional Standards Board’s revocation of Husbands’s teaching license and certifications. It held that Husbands’s unpreserved due-process claim did not establish plain error, and that the agency decision was supported by substantial evidence and free from legal error. The Court also held that the hearing officer could consider hearsay because the decision did not rest solely on hearsay, and that Husbands adequately preserved his hearsay objection even without identifying a specific exception. No separate opinions were issued.
