Unpublished Opinion No. 2013-UP-095
Heard January 10, 2013 – Filed March 6, 2013

AFFIRMED

Samuel M. Mokeba and Jenny A. Draffin, Baker,
Ravenel & Bender, LLP, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Charles J. Boykin, Boykin & Davis, LLC, of Columbia,
and Ralph J. Smiley, of Orangeburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Midlands Math and Business Academy Charter School appeals
the administrative law court's order affirming Richland County School District One
Board of Commissioners' decision to revoke the School's charter. We find the
ALC properly determined substantial evidence supported the Board's findings that
the School violated the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and that the
Board was required to revoke the School's charter pursuant to subsection 59-40-
110(C)(4) of the South Carolina Code (Supp. 2012). We therefore affirm pursuant
to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and these authorities: S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-380(5)
(Supp. 2012) (providing the ALC may reverse or modify an agency's decision if,
among other things, it was "clearly erroneous in view of the reliable, probative, and
substantial evidence on the whole record"); § 59-40-90 (Supp. 2012) (stating the
ALC reviews a school board's decision as provided in Code sections 1-23-380 and
1-23-600); S.C. Dep't of Corr. v. Mitchell, 377 S.C. 256, 260, 659 S.E.2d 233, 236
(Ct. App. 2008) (declining to address appellant's remaining issues when resolution
of another issue was dispositive of the appeal).

AFFIRMED.
