The minor petitioner is 16 years of age, having been born April 19, 1985, and is a student in the tenth grade at the Boiling Springs High School. 2. The Respondent's School Board is a local agency as defined in Local Agency Law, LAL, 2 Pa. C.S.A. §101, and has responsibility of administration and of proper and lawful manner of the affairs of the South Middleton School District. 3. The basis for jurisdiction of this court is Local Agency Law, 2 Pa. C.S.A. §752 and 42 Pa. C.S.A. §933(a)(2). 4. On November 5, 2001, the Respondent took action to expel and exclude the minor petitioner from the South Middleton School District for the remainder of the 2001- 2002 school year and for the entire 2002-2003 school year; furthermore, the Respondent seeks to place the minor petitioner in an Alternative Education Program for the remainder of the 2001-2002 school year. Minor petition may "apply for readmission to South Middleton School District for the 2002-2003 school year conditioned upon: (a) Successful participation in the Alternative Education Program; (b) Recommendation of readmission by the Alternative Education Program; and, (c) Demonstrating a sincere effort to accept and honor appropriate standards of behavior." (Exhibit 1 attached and incorporated herein) 5. The statement of charges dated September 21,2001 was provided to the minor petitioner relative to the October 18, 2001 formal hearing and the charges restricted the allegations stating that the minor petitioner "did willfully engage in the selling of controlled substances on or about September 6, 2001. These actions are in violation of the rules, regulations and policies of the South Middleton School District, §227, Controlled Substances as Duly Adopted by the Board of School Directors of Said District." (Exhibit 2, attached herein and incorporated as is fully set forth.) 6. On September 27, 2001, a request was made to the Respondent to provide the identity of the alleged controlled substance involved with the alleged acts of September 6, 2001; in addition, the Respondent was placed on notice of a need for witnesses to be subpoenaed to attend the October 18th hearing. (Exhibit 3 attached and incorporated herein) 7. A second September 27, 2001 letter repeated the requests for witnesses and substance identification as outlined in Exhibit 2. (Exhibit 4 attached And incorporated herein). 8. On September 28, 2001, a third notice was provided to the Respondent seeking subpoenas for specifically named witnesses. (Exhibit 5 attached and incorporated herein). 9. On October 5, 2001, Respondent advised that they were unaware of any authority allowing them to issue subpoenas for the requested witnesses on behalf of the Petitioner and the Respondent ignored the Petitioner's request for an identity of any controlled substance. (Exhibit 6 attached and incorporated herein). 10. On October 15, 2001, a fourth notice was provided to the Respondent requesting attendance of named witnesses on behalf of the Petitioner. (Exhibit 7 attached and incorporated herein) 11. In a communication dated October 15, 2001, the attorney for Respondent advised that the Petitioner Attorney's letter requesting witness attendance would be forwarded to the Superintendent. (Exhibit 8 attached and incorporated herein). 12. At the October 18, 2001 hearing there was no admissible or credible evidence that the Petitioner sold a controlled substance. 13. At the October 18, 2001 hearing there was no credible or admissible evidence that the alleged controlled substance was a prescription medication Adderall. 14. There was no credible or admissible evidence of the identity of any alleged controlled substance presented at the October 18, 2001 hearing. 15. Petitioner made several wdtten requests for specifically named witnesses to attend the hearing on his behalf, and the Petitioner requested at the outset of the October 18, 2001 hearing to have the same witnesses present to testify on his behalf; the Respondent either refused to grant the Petitioner's request or ignored the requests by the Petitioner and specifically violated the Petitioner's due process rights as illustrated at 22 Pa. Code Section 12.8 (b) (1) (vi) and (vii). 16. A formal hearing on the charge was held October 18, 2001 at which the Petitioner and the parents appeared. 17. The hearing was before a committee representing the South Middleton School Board and the principal and assistant principal made a report of their investigation which was replete with hearsay and speculative conclusions. 18. At a meeting of the South Middleton School Board later, a decision was rendered recommending adoption of the findings of fact and conclusions of law and finding the Petitioner guilty of certain conduct by expelling and excluding the Petitioner as a student of the South Middleton School District for the remainder of 2001-2002 school year and for the entire 2002-2003 school year, and by placing Petitioner in an Alternative Education Program for the remainder of the 2001-2002 school year, with other conditions. 19. The action of the committee and Board is devoid of proper evidence that the Petitioner sold a controlled substance to other students and that the alleged controlled substance was Adderall or another controlled substance and the Board's action is arbitrary capricious and abuse of discretion without authority and void. 20. The Boards findings of fact are not supported by substantial evidence. 21. Constitutional/Statutory rights of the Petitioner were violated by Respondent. 22. The actions of the Respondent have caused the Petitioner irreparable and immediate harm in that: (a) has been segregated from his classmates; WHEREFORE, your Petitioner prays that: 1. The Court fix a hearing to require the Respondents to demonstrate that the action was based on proper evidence and that the due process rights of the Petitioner were not violated. 2. The Court impose all costs and expense of this action upon the Respondent, as well as reasonable attorney fees, since the Respondent has been forced to institute this proceeding to enforce state laws and regulations with Respondent by its obdurate and bad faith actions have ignored and defiled. 3. The court sustain this appeal and set aside the expulsion. 4. For such other additional relief as it appears right and just under the circumstances. Respectfully submitted, Turo Law Offices 28 S.

The reason for the continuance request is as follows: 1. I met with Mr. And Mrs. Comman for the first time today, September 27, 2001 at 9:30, less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled hearing 2. The identity of the names of witnesses against Cody and copies of witness statements and affidavits of those witnesses requires discovery. 3. The identity of any drug connected allegedly to Cody requires State Police identity confirmation and discovery. 4. Witnesses on Cody's behalf need to be subpoenaed. Based upon the above listing, it is impossible for me to adequately prepare and present Cody's position in less than 24 hours. Because of the urgency of this request, I will supplement this letter with a request for the issuance of subpoenas relative to securing the attendance of Cody's witnesses; naturally, soma of the school district's witnesses, when revealed to me, may reduce the number of subpoenas requested. In addition, please allow this letter to serve as a request for production of the list of names of witnesses against Cody Comman; also, please provide copies of the statements and affidavits of those witn.esses;-a, nd please provide a COlby. of ~ny confirmation of the identity of any and all substancels that Cody is alleged to have 'sold'. My client and his parents agree to maintain the status quo of Cody's non- attendance at school if the continuance is granted. My clients shall be contacting the building principal, Mr. Joseph Mancuso, in order to secure some type of alternative home schooling. My client does not wish to fall behind in his schoolwork and he desires to keep up with his assignments. If there is anything you can do to facilitate his ongoing education, the family would greatly appreciate any effort expended on Cody's behalf. I have enclosed a proposed Order regarding the requested continuance. Since time is of the essence, please advise as soon as possible as to the granting of the continuance. Galen R.

Also, names of students previously supplied to the school will require subpoena: Kyle Smith, Greg Scullin, Jesse Stone, Dan Meals, Blake Woodward and Jeremy Lenvorsky. Not having received the names of the schools witnesses puts me at a disadvantage with this request and many of the names that I have listed may be duplicates; in the event the school intends to have present at the hearing any of the above mentioned names, those duplicate names can be stdcken from my request. Aware that the school does not want to delay this headng, I am fonvarding this request as early as possible in order that I can pmpedy prepare. If the school is willing to discuss this issue to a point where a beneficial resolution to all parties can occur, then, I am willing to n'c-ct and discuss the matter before wa reach the hearing stage. My client has suffered considerably and will continue to experience hardship from his actions just as others involved in this matter may have been caused some form of pain and aggravation. Cody is both contrite and remorseful for his actions. Cody is also reasonable and would like to reduce the ha,,, and embarrassment that has already arisen and he would also like to reduce the potential for increased ha~,,, and embarrassment .to others.

You have requested that some 14 subpoenas be issued so that you may ensUre that some students are present to testify on your client's behalf at the hearing. Having never encountered a request for subpoenas in a' student discipline matter previously, I asked for your authority for the Board of School Directors to issue subpoenas in a student discipline matter. I Your letter of September 28, 2001 appears to be relying upon 71 P.S. Section 200 for authority to issue subpoenas. However, the authority you cite relates to the state government administrative code and has no relation to a local school board. I have reviewed the Public School Code of 1949, as amended, and have not found any authority for issuing subpoenas under these circumstances. There is specific authority for a school board to issue subpoenas in an employee termination hearing (24 P.S. Section 11-1128). However, that authority is conspicuously' absent from the Code Sections regarding student hearings. Additionally, I have checked the Local Agency Law and did not find any authOrity for issuing subpoenas. Finally, I contacted the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and their staff attorney was not aware of any authority granting school boards the power toissue subpoenas in the context of a student discipline hearing. If you would like to continue legal research in affeffort to find authority for the school board issuing subpoenas, I will be happy to review the results of your 5NIELBAKER., BR.ENINEMAN ~ SPAIKE Galen R. Waltz, Esquire October 5, 2001 Page Two legal research. If you provide me with the authority to do so, I will be glad to issue all of the subpoenas you have requested. Additionally, I will continue to review the law in this area to see whether I can uncover any authority for your requests. However, absent authority to do so, I will not be issuing subpoenas as you have requested. Pursuant to your request, the Board has rescheduled the hearing in this matter for Thursday, October 18, 2001 at 7:30 a.m. The hearing will be held in the Board Room at the District Office located at 4 Forge Road, Boiling Springs.
