In the Matter of Jose L. Arrocha, Respondent v. Board of Education of the City of New York, Appellants

May 6, 199993 N.Y.2d 361

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and dismissed the petition, holding that the Board of Education properly considered the statutory factors, including the seriousness of the prior felony, and was not required to rebut the presumption of rehabilitation; thus the denial was not arbitrary or capricious.
