New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Tillie Venes, Appellant v. Community School Board of District 26, Respondents

February 14, 197843 N.Y.2d 520

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the doctrine of res judicata does not bar a school board from reconsidering a prior decision not to dismiss a probationary employee and rejected the petitioner's due process claim. The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order reinstating the board's authority to dismiss.
