IN THE MATTER OF SANDY RUBIN, 	:
M.E.T.S. CHARTER SCHOOL, 	: 	COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION
HUDSON COUNTY. 	: 	DECISION
:
The Commissioner has reviewed the record of this matter and the decision of the
School Ethics Commission (Commission), finding that respondent violated the School Ethics Act
for failure to timely complete training in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:12-33. The Commission’s
decision was forwarded to the Commissioner for final determination on the recommended penalty
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:12-29(c). The Commission advises that respondent ultimately completed
the training after the issuance of the Commission’s November 2, 2017 Order to Show Cause.
Respondent has neither filed exceptions to the recommended penalty nor instituted an appeal,
pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:4-1 et seq., of the Commission’s underlying finding of violation.
Upon review, the Commissioner concurs with the penalty recommended by the
Commission for respondent’s failure to timely honor an obligation placed upon board members by
law. Additionally, respondent is admonished for causing the unnecessary expenditure of
administrative and adjudicative resources at both State and local levels.
Accordingly, respondent is hereby reprimanded as a school official found to have
violated the School Ethics Act.
IT IS SO ORDERED.1
