Synopsis Grievant is employed by the West Virginia Board of Education at West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. Grievant was suspended for not going to Seaton Hall after a supervisor said, “I need someone” to work there. Respondent did not prove this constituted an order and thus failed to prove Grievant was insubordinate, willfully neglected her duty, or compromised student safety. As such, this grievance is GRANTED.
