Synopsis
|
BOE argued that 8b(a) was not applicable to filling an administrative position such as an assistant principal, unless it is a reduction in force, and that in this case there was simply a lateral transfer. Relying on Sharp v. Kan BOE, the statute was held applicable to administrative promotions. The reprisal and favoritism claims were not proven. The case was remanded to consider the Grievant's qualifications under the correct legal standard. The case also says the state superintendent's opinions are binding unless clearly wrong.
