Petitioner demands employment in that position, together with back pay and benefits.
The appeal must be dismissed. Prior to the 1995-1996 school year, petitioner was employed as a full time school psychologist at Westport. At that same meeting, the board also determined to contract with a school psychologist on a per diem basis to perform psychological testing services for the district to the extent such services became necessary. Respondents denied that the positions were similar, and argued that they were in different certification and tenure areas. Respondents further argued that petitioner did not have the proper certification to occupy the newly created elementary counselor position and that the appeal was untimely.
