Synopsis Grievant alleged that various individuals engaged in harassment, reprisal, created a hostile work environment, and placed unreasonable work expectations on her. Grievant was subjected to several observations of her teaching, and disagreed with the comments on the observation forms. Those observing Grievant had legitimate reasons for follow-up observations. Unreasonable work expectations were not placed on Grievant and she was not subjected to a hostile work environment or harassment, and no actions were taken against Grievant in reprisal for filing a grievance.
