Judgment affirmed, with costs.
It is well settled that a probationary employee may be discharged without a hearing and without a statement of reasons (see, Matter of York v. McGuire, 63 N.Y.2d 760, 761). The proper standard for judicial review of the respondent's termination of the petitioner's services as a probationary teacher, is whether his action was arbitrary and capricious (see, Matter of Kaufman v. Anker, 42 N.Y.2d 835, 836). A review of the record does not indicate that the respondent's termination of the petitioner's services was such an arbitrary and capricious act.
Accordingly, we affirm. Gibbons, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
