New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Susan R. Syquia v. Board of Education of the Harpursville Central School District
December 21, 199280 N.Y.2d 531
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order vacating the termination of a tenured teacher and requiring a new hearing because the Board of Education violated mandatory provisions of Education Law §3020-a by overpaying a panel member and employing a person barred from service. The court resolved the case on statutory grounds without reaching the federal due‑process claim.
