As a condition of promotion Ms. Thieling was required to successfully complete a shorthand/speedwriting course, at her own expense, during her six-month probationary period. Due to a medical leave of absence and the fact that the classes were only held on evenings that Ms. Thieling was scheduled for minute taking meetings, the course has not yet been taken.

Ms. Thieling was tested on April 15, 1991 and returned with a statement from the instructor stating that her minute taking skills are indeed satisfactory and considers her "passing".
