Opinion
June 8, 1995
Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.
Claimant, a school bus driver, was terminated from his employment for violating a company rule which prohibits drivers from fraternizing with students. The record reveals that claimant gave a 16-year-old female student flowers, concert tickets and a card on her birthday, and attended her social school activities. In view of this, we find that substantial evidence supports the Board's decision denying unemployment insurance benefits to claimant due to disqualifying misconduct.
Mercure, J.P., Crew III, White, Casey and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
