Supreme Court S.Ct. refused WVSSPA's appeal on 3-29-90.
Synopsis In 1986 grs protested their non-employment on the basis that a school board may not hire outside contractors to undertake work board employees had previously performed, namely bus seat repair and upholstery. The WVEEGB denied the grievance on the basis of it not being timely filed. Additionally, the merits of the grievance issue was reached and the examiner determined that as there was not statutory classification of upholsterer, the board could procure those services by competitive bids from private contractors. The grs appealed the decision on both issues to an unnamed circuit court where it is presently pending. See, Russell, et al. v. Mason County Board of Education.
