We've implemented a new Decisions search to replace the previous one. Click here to use an alternative version of the decision search.

Search Tip: Commissioner’s decisions generally use categories in the caption to indicate the subject matter of an appeal.  Some common categories are: residency, student discipline, personnel, and transportation.  Searching for a specific category in quotation marks after the word “regarding” can help bring up relevant Commissioner’s decisions.  For example, search “regarding residency” to bring up residency decisions.  Click here for a more comprehensive list of categories.

The decisions reported on this website are unedited and unindexed and are only available from July 1991 to date. Although reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the decisions are current, complete and accurate, the State Education Department does not warrant or represent that they are current, complete and accurate. The decisions of the Commissioner of Education from April 1958 through June 2010 are officially reported and indexed in Education Department Reports, Volumes 1-49. Decisions in Volume 50 and thereafter are not officially reported and indexed in the Education Reports and should be cited using the volume and decision number. (For example: 50 Ed Dept Rep, Decision No. 16,084). 

A "Table of Judicial Review" listing those Commissioner's decisions (Volume 27 to present) that have been appealed is available here, Word and PDF file. The table is updated biannually. All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the table is current, complete and accurate. However, for the most accurate information, you are advised to research the court record.
