Question:
A settlement agreement between a school bus drivers’ union and the school district erroneously included an incorrect “code” reference to the procedures surrounding termination proceedings for bus drivers. The agreement used the code abbreviation for teachers and administrators (GAE) instead of the code abbreviation for bus drivers (GCK). Terminated employees subject to the GAE policies are entitled to an appeal hearing in front of the school board, while terminated employees subject to the GCK plan are not. A terminated bus driver (a GCK employee) argued that the GAE code reference in the settlement agreement “entitle[d] her to the benefits enjoyed by [GAE] employees, including the right to an appeal hearing in front of the Board, despite her status as a [bus driver].” Is she entitled to an appeal hearing?
