Synopsis
|
Grievant, employed as teacher at Bridgeport High School, filed a level four grievance alleging violations of W.Va. Code 18-29-2, State Board of Education Policy 5300 and discrimination when a letter of reprimand and an observation report were placed in her personnel file. The Board argues the letter and observation report, filed as a result of an emotional outburst, were appropriate and justified because the grievant's actions interfered with her ability to perform her duties as a teacher. DECISION: DENIED. State Board Policy 5300 mandates the Board to notify the employee of misconduct or incompetency through evaluation and that they be given an opportunity to improve. Grievant failed to prove discrimination.
