Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York March 22, 2011 (Murnane v. Department of Education)

The court properly determined that petitioner’s challenge to her termination as a probationary teacher is time-barred. Such a challenge must be brought within four months of the effective date of termination, and the petitioner’s pursuit of administrative remedies does not toll the four-month statute of limitations (see CPLR 217 [1]; Kahn v New York City Dept. of Educ., 79 AD3d 521, 522 [2010]).
