Synopsis Gr alleges that the school board violated an agreement to consider her for the next administrative position. At the time grievant entered into this agreement and until the time an administrative position became available there was a change of superintendents and grievant was advised that the current superintendent was not bound by any agreement by his predecessor. Grievant does not seek to dispossess the erson selected for the principalship but seeks damages for the denial of the position and to punish the school board. Grievance denied and claim barred by the doctrine enunciated in Maynard v. Wayne Co. BOE 357 S.E.2d 246. In absence of specific statutory authority the hearing examiner at level four of the grievance procedure does not have the authority to direct a county school board to circumvent specific statutes involving the selection and promotion of school personnel.
