Former Assistant Principal Entitled to Full Report Generated In Response to Her Allegations of Harassment and Discrimination Against Superintendent

The Third Department determined a former assistant principal was entitled to the full report generated by special counsel at the request of the school board in response to her allegations of harassment and discrimination against the school superintendent:

In our view, the [school] Board’s interpretation [of its regulation] is inconsistent with the language of the regulation, which is mandatory and dictates that the complainant and the accused will have received at least one report “pertaining to the investigation/outcome of the formal complaint” prior to the Board holding a hearing on the matter. Even assuming that [counsel who wrote the report] was appointed to perform only the complaint officer’s role — as opposed to the superintendent’s role — in the adjudicatory structure set forth in the regulation, a complainant is entitled to a copy of the complaint officer’s report under the regulation. Nevertheless, respondents failed to provide either the complainant or this Court with a copy of the report. Matter of Yager v Massena Cent Schoo Dist, 2014 NY Slip Op 05014, 3rd Dept 7-3-14
