Synopsis Grievant, a classroom teacher, was dismissed from employment by Respondent because of an incident that occurred on September 2, 2022. Grievant initially requested reinstatement to his position and back pay. Subsequently, Grievant communicated by email and confirmed at the hearing on the motion that he no longer seeks that relief. The undersigned grants Respondent’s motion since no tangible relief is possible, and any decision would constitute an advisory opinion.
