Synopsis
|
Grievant submitted a set of report cards to her principal for review before distribution to students. The principal suggested that Grievant consider revising the grades of eight students downward one letter and, 'after much introspection,' grievant decided to take this step. After the grade cards had been published to the students and their families, Grievant asked the principal to reinstate the originally-proposed grades. The request was declined. Grievance denied: Neither the original suggestion nor the refusal to allow Grievant to reinstate original marks was unreasonable, capricious or in any way improper. The original comments to Grievant were in the form of a recommendation and not a command.
