|
Forty speech therapists protest assignation of more students for therapy than allowed by a state regulation and request reinstatement of the prior number of students assigned them. Respondent contends grievants have no standing. Respondent concedes that it violated the regulation but contends that the cause is that it is unable to hire enough therapists to fill its vacant therapist positions. Federal law requires all students eligible for therapy to receive therapy. DECISION: Grievants have standing under W.Va. Code 18A-29-2(a). Respondent must make greater efforts to procure therapists. GRANTED IN PART. Respondent is ordered to make certain greater efforts to procure therapists.
