Authority of the Commissioner of Education to provide certain remedies in an Education Law Section 310 appeal

Decisions of the Commissioner of Education, 15,596; 15,597

From time to time a petitioner will ask the Commissioner of Education to provide redress in addition to sustaining his or her appeal from a decision by school administrators or a school board.

In a recent decision the Commissioner noted that he does not have the authority to sanction or reprimand board members or district staff [see Matter of Eileen A. McCrudden, http://www.counsel.nysed.gov/Decisions/volume49/d15996.htm].

In another ruling, Appeal of K.F. and D.F, the Commissioner noted that he does not have authority to award monetary damages, costs or reimbursements in an appeal pursuant to Education Law §310 [see http://www.counsel.nysed.gov/Decisions/volume49/d15997.htm].
