Supreme Court
Synopsis Grievant alleges that he was the most qualified candidate for an assistant principal's position. The uncontradicted testimony of the principal who interview the candidates that only grievant had administrative certification was supported by documents showing that Respondent encouraged applications from uncertified individuals. DECISION: 'It was improper for Respondent to award the assistant principalship to an individual not holding administrative certification rather than to the one candidate, grievant, who was the only candidate holding that certification and therefore fully qualified for the position.' GRANTED. Attorney fees disallowed. Smarr v. Wood Co. Bd. of Educ., Docket No. 54-86-062 (June 16, 1986).
