Petitioner seeks an order authorizing respondent's dismissal.
Respondent cross-appeals the panel's determination, alleging that the penalty imposed is too severe. Both the appeal and the cross-appeal must be dismissed. Respondent is a tenured teacher who has taught at petitioner's schools for approximately 24 years. The third charge was subsequently amended. Charge II alleged that during the 1991-92 school year, respondent was absent 51 days, comprised of 8 sick leave days and 43 workers' compensation leave days.
