applied for years leave of absence on
September 10. Four days later she re-

and notice that it had been laid before

% she received second letter stating
that It was mot the policy of the Board
for purposes such as You describe" and
her application was denied.

ceived letter from Isaac e. Goldwasser,
her District Superintendent, in which he
said:
Acting under instructions from the
City Superintendent of Schools, l have
this day suspended you from duty
without pay, and have preferred
you TO the Board of Education. Your
application for leave of absence has
been denied and your continued alb
sence from school constitutes neglect
of duty. ..

ter before Commissioner Finley inform
ing him that she has taught in the New

that of Mrs Bridget Pelxotto when its

day that the action with regard to Mrs.
Breslow was based upon the Court of
Appeals decision upholding the right of
the Board of Education to proceed
against Mrs. Peixotto, who was dismissed
