The Silver Spring Township supervisors fired police Officer Tracy L. Miller Wednesday night after they spent nearly two hours in private session debating her job status.

The board voted 3-2 to follow a recommendation from Chief Jim Sadler to terminate Miller's employment. The supervisors did not reveal details on Sadler's recommendation.

Miller, 38, of York Haven, did not attend the meeting. When contacted at home after the meeting, she said she would file a grievance with the West Shore Police Association.

Miller faces a court hearing on a charge that she passed a school bus on Carlisle Pike while its red lights were flashing Sept. 17. If convicted, state law compels the court to suspend her license for 60 days.

Her preliminary hearing before District Judge Tom Placey is scheduled for Nov. 12.
