Petitioner was represented by counsel consistent with the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. This appeal ensued. She contends that respondent Wilson had no authority to make any recommendation to the board because he is not certified to supervise teachers and, moreover, had no direct knowledge of her performance. She asserts, therefore, that there was no basis for termination of her probationary appointment. Respondent board of education asserts that its actions regarding termination of petitioner's probationary appointment were proper and complied with applicable law.
Respondent seeks dismissal of the petition.
The record before me indicates that respondent complied with Education Law '' 3012 and 3031 regarding termination of probationary appointments. Education Law ' 3012 provides that the services of a probationary teacher may be discontinued at any time during the probationary appointment upon recommendation of the superintendent. Education Law ' 3031 provides that a teacher for whom a recommendation not to appoint to tenure will be made is entitled to written notice of such recommendation 30 days prior to the meeting at which the recommendation will be made. Pursuant to ' 3031, Dr. Keyes notified petitioner in writing of his recommendation at least 30 days prior to the board meeting at which he recommended termination of petitioner's appointment. Petitioner requested and received a statement of reasons for the recommendation and was afforded an opportunity to respond.
