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[?]
