Synopsis
|
Grievant filed a grievance against the Randolph County Board of Education protesting actions relating to her son taken by the Barbour County Board of Education. Although Grievant is an employee, she is not seeking to resolve an employment grievance; she is a citizen protesting actions taken by a county board of education relating to her son. The Grievance Board lacks jurisdiction in this matter. Accordingly, the grievance must be dismissed.
