The decision

CSC published this decision as a scanned image. The text below was recognized by OCR, read twice and checked against the meeting minutes, but OCR can misread a word. The official document is the record.

BackgroundThe appeal of Ileana Scott, Security Guard, Jersey City School District, release at the end of the working test period, effective October 11, 2022, was before Administrative Law Judge Leslie Z. Celentano (ALJ), who rendered her initial decision dismissing the matter on May 12, 2025. No exceptions were filed.

AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALJ’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting on June 11, 2025, affirmed the ALJ’s determination to dismiss the appeal.

ORDER

The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in releasing the appellant at the end of the working test period was justified. The Commission therefore upholds that action and dismisses the appeal of Ileana Scott.

ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
