Supreme Court
Synopsis Grievant is employed by Respondent as a classroom teacher at Mary Ingles Elementary School teaching special education. Although Grievant receives the planning period required by statute, Grievant protests Respondent’s failure to provide her an additional planning period as other classroom teachers have been provided, asserting discrimination. Respondent’s failure to provide Grievant with an additional planning period is not discriminatory as the difference in treatment is related to Grievant’s job responsibilities. Accordingly, the grievance is denied.
