Synopsis Grievant was employed by Respondent as a classroom teacher during the 2017-2018 school year. Grievant submitted a request for days of sick leave from Respondent’s Sick Leave Bank. The Committee charged with reviewing and approving or disapproving these requests voted unanimously to disapprove Grievant’s request. The record of this case did not support a finding that this action was in violation of the applicable policy, or an action that could be viewed as arbitrary and capricious. Accordingly, this grievance is denied.
