Head Matter:
Theodore KIRSCH, Jacob Steinberg, Thomas Doyle, and William Gormley, Petitioners v. COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT BOARD, Respondent.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
June 11, 2008.

Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW this 11th day of June, 2008, the Petition for Alowance of Appeal is hereby GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioners, are:
1. Did the Commonwealth Court err by interpreting the "Leave for service with a collective bargaining organization" Section 8102 of the Retirement Code as preventing Petitioners from receiving full credit for the final average salaries they earned while serving as officers in a collective bargaining organization?
2. Did the Commonwealth Court err by holding that Petitioners' salaries artificially enhanced or inflated their retirement benefits?
