This court's affir-mance of the Commonwealth Court's order dated April 16, 2007 by opinion and Order at Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Dep't of Education v. Chester-Upland Special Board of Control et al., — Pa. -, 938 A.2d 1000 (2007), granting the Department of Education's Application to Substitute Parties has the effect of substituting the Empowerment Board of Control of the Chester-Upland School District for the Special Board of Control of the Chester-Upland School District.

Commonwealth, State Ethics Comm'n, 523 Pa. 347, 567 A.2d 630 (1989) (holding quashal is appropriate when entity was "out of existence").
