Synopsis Grievant was employed by Respondent, Raleigh County Board of Education, as an Aide when she missed the last workday of the school year. Because Grievant did not have any paid leave remaining, Respondent placed her on unpaid leave and therefore did not pay her for 5 subsequent Outside School Environment (OSE) days. Grievant grieved the non-payment of these days. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss. Respondent proved that the requested relief could not be granted based on an interpretation by the State Superintendent of Schools covering this situation. Grievant did not prove that this interpretation was clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the grievance is DISMISSED.
