Synopsis
|
Petitioners motion to the Circuit Court to remand the case to the Grievance Board was not granted; however counsel could give no indication of when a ruling would be forthcoming or any assurance of a prompt resolution as is contemplated by the grievance procedure law. Accordingly, this decision is rendered pursuant to a letter from grievant's representative urging that the ESEGB not ignore its statutory authorization to hear and decide grievances in an expeditious fashion. Grievants all taught in the Wetzel County Schools and then formally resigned their full-time employment. Each returned to employment at a later time but discovered that their seniority was being calculated from the date of their most recent employment and credit for their earlier teaching years was extinguished. Grievance granted; the BOE is ordered to compute the grievants' seniority according to the total length of time each has been professionally employed by the Board.
