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 deny that the positions are similar, and argue that they are in different certification and tenure areas. Respondents further argue that petitioner does not have the proper certification to occupy the newly created elementary counselor position and that the appeal is untimely.
