Synopsis Grievant argues that he should have been awarded the “Grow Your Own” program overnight bus run to Morgantown pursuant to his extracurricular contract for the “Grow Your Own” bus run for Wayne High School. Respondent designated the trip as an extra duty night run and awarded the bus run according to the next senior driver on the roster established by the Memorandum of Agreement. Respondent correctly characterized and properly awarded the extra duty night run based on the duty roster. Grievant failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he was entitled to the bus run. Therefore, the grievance is DENIED
