Summerville v. Roosevelt Un. Free Sch. Dist

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 23, 1987
128 A.D.2d 769 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

March 23, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (McCabe, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The gravamen of the complaint is that the election of a member of the Board of Education was invalid and certain meetings were improperly held. Under Education Law § 2037, the Commissioner of Education is vested with exclusive authority to deal with such matters and thus the Supreme Court properly concluded that it was without jurisdiction to entertain the action (see, Turco v. Union Free School Dist. No. 4, 43 Misc.2d 367, affd 22 A.D.2d 1018). Brown, J.P., Lawrence, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
