Respondent contends the board had a reasonable basis to conclude that disciplinary action against Ms. Beck was unwarranted. Respondent further asserts that the decision to deny petitioners' transfer request was consistent with school district policy. Petitioners submit only their assertion that Ms. Beck threatened their children. Based on my review of the record before me, I conclude that respondent's determination not to bring disciplinary action was reasonable. Respondent's policy regarding intra-district transfers authorizes such transfers upon evidence that it is in the best interests of the child or children involved.
Petitioners offer conclusory assertions that presume the necessity of transferring their children.
However, petitioners did not demonstrate how the transfer was in the best interests of their children. In fact, the record reflects that petitioners' children were doing well in the current setting. Therefore, there is no basis for concluding that respondent's transfer determination was arbitrary, capricious or contrary to sound educational policy.
