                Synopsis
             | 
            
                Grievant is a bus operator employed by the Hancock County Board of Education.  Grievant seeks extra pay for work she performed in excess of her normal working day during a week in which the school was closed for Election Day.  Grievant makes this argument based upon statutory construction and the position that Election Day should be recognized as a school holiday.  West Virginia Code § 18A-4-8a(i) clearly references weeks of school holidays as the occasions when extra pay is provided, not the weeks of state holidays as defined elsewhere.  In addition, there is a specific definition of school holidays contained in West Virginia Code § 18A-5-2, which is the applicable provision when determining the requirement of extra pay for school employees.
