School Superintendent • Termination • Due Process • Disciplinary Hearings • Commingling of Functions
Purcell v. Reading Sch. Dist., PICS Case No. 17-1235 (Pa. Commw. July 14, 2017) McCullough, J. (24 pages).
Trial court erred in affirming school board’s termination of a school superintendent because the impermissible commingling of investigative and adjudicatory functions by the board raised serious constitutional concerns as to the required due process in administrative proceedings. Reversed in part and affirmed in part.
