Synopsis
|
Grievant maintained that she had worked 37 times throughout the school year substituting for absent teachers during her planning period. Respondent argued that since Grievant did not work an eight hour day that she could have used a planning period before or after school hours. DECISION: W. Va. Code, 18-4-14 requires every teacher to be given a planning period during the school day, which shall be read as meaning while school is actually in session. Grievance GRANTED.
