Pantaleo v. Board of Education

This is an article 78 proceeding initiated by petitioner to compel her reinstatement as a licensed teacher with tenure as of January 2,1964 when she was directed by respondent to take a “leave of absence ” as a result of alleged illness. During the pendency of this proceeding, petitioner has been re-examined at the instance of respondent, found fit to reassume her duties and has been reinstated as of the beginning of the February 1965 Term. In effect then, the prime issue left for consideration is the loss of pay and exhaustion of accumulated sick leave by petitioner in the intervening period.
