Matter of Shapiro v. Community Sch. Dist

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 17, 1985
111 A.D.2d 853 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

June 17, 1985


Order confirmed and proceeding dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

Despite having been given a full opportunity to present her case, petitioner failed to produce sufficient evidence to substantiate her allegations that respondents' decision to terminate her from her position as a vocal music teacher, and to deny her a certificate of completion of probation, was actuated by a discriminatory motive or intent ( see, State Div. of Human Rights v. Xerox Corp., 60 A.D.2d 763). Rather, the record supports the Division's finding that petitioner was discharged because of unsatisfactory job performance ( see, Matter of State Div. of Human Rights v. Board of Educ., 47 A.D.2d 524). Although petitioner may have been the victim of harassment by students and some unfortunate statements may have been made by respondents, the record does not reflect discriminatory or disparate treatment on the part of respondents sufficient to warrant overturning the determination. Accordingly, the Division's order is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed. Lazer, J.P., Gibbons, O'Connor and Brown, JJ., concur.
