THEIR OFFICIAL CAPACITY, :
: Petitioners : ORDER PER CURIAM
AND NOW , this 17th day of May, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED . The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:
a. Whether the Commonwealth Court majority’s holding that a claim of
constructive discharge does not require actual resignation conflicts with the United State Supreme Court’s holdings in Green v. Brennan , 136 S.Ct. 1769 (2016) and Pennsylvania State Police v. Suders , 124 S.Ct. 2342 (2004)[?]
b. Whether the Commonwealth Court majority’s holding that a claim of
constructive discharge does not require actual resignation conflicts with this Court’s decision in Pennsylvania Labor Relations Bd. v. Sand’s Ret. Corp. , 240 A.2d 801 (Pa. 1968) or the Superior Court’s decisions in Kroen v. Bedway Sec. Agency, Inc. , 633 A.2d 628 (Pa. Super 1993) and its progeny[?]
c. Whether the Commonwealth Court majority erred as a matter of law
and so abused its discretion as to call for this Court’s review in concluding that Kegerise had a clear right to relief in mandamus pursuant to Section 1080 of the Public School Code, even though Section 1080 is silent as to the District’s obligations in the face of a superintendent’s resignation[?]
