GRANTED. Grievant, a vocational rehabilitation counselor, was not reassigned to the Parma City School system. She alleged that the position should have been posted and filled in accordance with the contract. The key issue was whether there was a vacancy because the number of counselors never decreased; rather, one was transferred to another facility. Finding that the nature of the various positions was significantly different, the arbitrator determined that a contractual "vacancy" did occur.
