June 7, 198871 N.Y.2d 763
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, holding that a Chancellor’s termination of a probationary teacher is final and effective on the date specified in the termination letter, regardless of any subsequent review under the Board bylaws. The Court reasoned that the statutory scheme provides no mechanism to postpone the effect of termination pending review.
