DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is modified by deleting therefrom the provision which denied that branch of the motion which was to to unseal and disclose the requested disciplinary records, and substituting therefor a provision granting that branch of the motion to the extent of unsealing and disclosing those records pertaining to an incident which occurred on January 27, 1994, redacted to omit the identity of the other person involved therein, and otherwise denying that branch of the motion; as so modified, the order is affirmed, with costs to the plaintiff.
School records such as those sought by the plaintiff ordinarily are not protected by any privilege, and they are generally discoverable once their relevancy and materiality to the action are established ( see generally, Davis v. Elandem Realty Co., 226 A.D.2d 419; Wepy v. Shen, 175 A.D.2d 124; Baldwin v. Franklin Gen. Hosp., 151 A.D.2d 532). Moreover, records of any past instances of violent and assaultive behavior on the part of the defendant Marc Maggio clearly would be relevant to the plaintiff's claim that the defendant West Babylon Union Free School District failed to adequately supervise Maggio ( see generally, Mirand v. City of New York, 84 N.Y.2d 44; Kennedy v. Seaford Union Free School Dist. No. 6, 250 A.D.2d 574). Accordingly, having reviewed the school disciplinary records at issue, we conclude that the Supreme Court should have directed the unsealing and disclosure, in appropriately redacted form, of those records pertaining to an incident which occurred on January 27, 1994 ( see, e.g., Moores v. City of Newburgh School Dist., 213 A.D.2d 527).
