The Appeals Court affirmed a Superior Court decision that upheld the Commission's decision to affirm the bypass of a candidate for District Chief in the Springfield Fire Department.
Promotional bypass appeal denied. The Appellant's poor interview performance provided the Springfield Fire Department with reasonable justification to bypass the Appellant for the position of District Fire Chief
Classification appeal denied. The Appellant was unable to show that she performed the level distinguishing duties of Program Coordinator I a majority of the time.
The Superior Court upheld the Commission's decision to dismiss the Appellant's appeal based on lack of jurisdiction as he was still in his probationary period at the time of his termination.
