Text: The Director had the statutory authority to transfer Taylor subject only to board policy or the collective bargaining agreement. By approving the arbitrator's recommendations at the conclusion of the grievance process, the. BOE, as a matter of policy, entitled Taylor to supplemental pay in 2001-2002 and incumbency status for the following school year, but nothing more. By statute, a tenured teacher has only a year-to-year term in a coaching capacity. There are genuine issues of material fact as to the claim for any coaching supplement for 2002-2003; therefore, the grant of summary judgment is set aside, in part, as to that award. The judgment is otherwise affirmed. The cause is remanded for a determination of whether Taylor can establish that the transfer was arbitrary, capricious, or improperly motivated, in violation of either statute or the arbitration decision adopted by the BOE. Costs of the appeal are taxed one-half to the plaintiffs, Lawrence County Education Association and Jerry Taylor, and one-half to the defendants, Lawrence County Board of Education and Larry Morrow, for which execution may issue, if necessary.
