Head Matter:
In the Matter of Rudolph G. Antonucci, Respondent, v Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District et al., Appellants.
Argued May 3, 1977;
decided June 9, 1977
Francis J. Sisea for appellant.
James M. Rose and Arthur H. Grae for respondent.

Opinion:
Memorandum. Judgment reversed, with costs, and the determination of the superintendent of schools reinstated. The record supports the more severe sanction imposed on petitioner because of his supervisory status, a difference in the charges, and evidence establishing the deliberateness of his conduct. Hence, the sanction imposed by the superintendent, after a full hearing, is not shocking to any sense of fairness, and should not have been overturned by the court below (Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 NY2d 222, esp 235-236).
" Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke concur in memorandum.
Judgment reversed, etc.
