“Commissioner Elia denied requests for stay orders in two separate appeals seeking removal of Carl Paladino as a member of the Board of Education of the Buffalo City School District.  The submission of pleadings and papers in these cases, as well as in two other pending appeals, will continue.  Upon receipt of all papers, the Commissioner will decide whether a removal hearing is warranted.”
