Synopsis
|
Grievant, a retired principal, who was previously employed as a regular full-time principal, filed a grievance against her employer, Wayne County Board of Education, Respondent, contesting that she was improperly denied a 240-day contract during her employment. Grievant’s contention that the Principalship at Tolsia High School is the only high school principal position in the county with a 220-day contract and such disposition is unlawful. Grievant bid upon and accepted the position as a 220-day contract. Grievant has not been discriminated against or been the victim of favoritism with regard to contract terms, nor did she demonstrate that the identified statutory uniformity provision has been violated. It is not established by a preponderance of the evidence that Respondent has exceeded its authority in choosing to implement a 220-day contract for the high school principal position in discussion. This grievance is DENIED.
