Civil service commission to consider firing of Warren schools worker

WARREN

The Warren Civil Service Commission has set a hearing for 8 a.m. March 27 at the Warren Data Processing Department regarding the termination of Honeya D. Woodget Price from Warren City Schools.

Atty. Martin Hume attended Wednesday’s commission meeting to ask for the hearing, saying he thinks the commission has jurisdiction even though the school district thinks it doesn’t.

Atty. James Fredericka, a commission member, said he believes Price, a former family liaison at the Lincoln K-8 building, is a classified employee, which means she should be entitled to the hearing.

The school board fired Price, 41, Jan. 31 after her arrest for purportedly brandishing a firearm in the parking lot of the Giant Eagle on Elm Road Northeast. The criminal case charging her with felonious assault was bound over to a Trumbull County grand jury Feb. 19.
