Order, entered February 2, 1965, unanimously reversed and vacated, on the law, without costs or disbursements, and petition dismissed. There was no direction for the retirement of the petitioner as a teacher and Matter of Munter v. Gross ( 42 Misc.2d 690), cited by Special Term, is not controlling. The direction by the Superintendent of Schools was that the petitioner take a leave of absence because she was "unfit for duty on medical grounds." Such direction was properly grounded and the petitioner was not entitled to a hearing. (See Matter of Brown v. Board of Educ., 23 A.D.2d 850, affd. 16 N.Y.2d 1021; Matter of Pantaleo v. Board of Educ., 25 A.D.2d 752.)
