Synopsis When the science teacher already holding a physiology class resigned, gr was not offered the class to teach and she filed the instant grievance. In his level one response to grievant, the principal stated that six persons worked together to produce the final master schedule. He also stated that all six concurred that gr should not be assigned to instruct advanced science courses since students would not sign up for her classes and enrollment would decline significantly. Grievance denied; grievant's unfulfilled desires and request to be assigned to teach a certain class of her choosing cannot be construed to amount to a denial of a promotion as a matter of law. A certified school principal(s) shall assume administrative and instructional supervisory responsibility for the planning, management, operation and evaluation of the total educational program of the school to which he or she is assigned.
