Synopsis
|
Grievant, a probationary employee, challenged the non-renewal of her probationary contract. Grievant failed to prove that Respondent’s decision was arbitrary and capricious. The record supported a finding that the decision not to renew Grievant’s contract came after three years of efforts to help the Grievant meet standards. Respondent took all appropriate steps to advise the Grievant of its concerns about her performance and to give her the tools to improve. Accordingly, this grievance is denied.
