Pasadena Unified School District V. Commission On Professional Competence

Appellant, the Pasadena Unified School District, appeals from a superior court judgment which denied the district's petition for a writ of mandate to set aside the decision of a Commission on Professional Competence.*fn1 The commission had found that the district had violated its own procedures and for that reason lacked cause to dismiss respondent, Sulochna Bedi, from her position as a public school teacher. The Superior Court of Los Angeles County reached the same conclusion. This court affirms, since the factual findings of the superior court are supported by substantial evidence.
