Synopsis Gs employed as Aides IV, alleged that a secretarial position was improperly filled by a new employee rather than by one of themselves. DECISION: A BOE is permitted to require a competency test for applicants seeking a position outside their classification. Regularly employed service personnel must be given first consideration for promotion or filling of vacancies; however, a board of education is not required by Code to offer a position to any individual who does not possess skills requisite for the position.
