Teacher asks court to make seniority case retroactive
Raleigh County teacher Cynthia Poling asked the West Virginia Supreme Court to order recalculation of all teachers’ seniority after the court’s April 2 ruling invalidated the old method. Poling, 29, had been notified of job loss at Piney View Elementary after teaching since 1987 amid controversy over quits and returns to the classroom. The ruling voided the 1987 decision affecting who preserves seniority.
