Employees cannot avoid competitive examination otherwise required
Bloomberg-Dubin v Board of Education, 82 AD2d 854, affd 56 NY2d 555
In a case involving the question of whether the New York City Board of Education could require certain teachers to be subject to appointment and licensing by competitive examination, the court stated that the Board could not be stopped from requiring that the competitive examination be held.
Although the teachers involved held “conditional certificates”, they were required to take the examination ordered by the Board.
