The opinion
PER CURIAM:
Appellant Ruth Wilson contends that the trial court erred in granting appellees’ motion to dismiss her complaint. We affirm.
This case involves appellant’s complaint for damages and injunctive relief from the District government and its employees for harassment and alleged breaches of the collective bargaining contract between the Board of Education and the Washington Teacher’s Union involving appellant’s performance evaluations, classroom assignments, and the ordering of school supplies. While this appeal was pending, the court decided District of Columbia v. Thompson, 570 A.2d 277 (D.C.1991). We invited further briefing by the parties on the impact of Thompson on this case. Having reviewed those pleadings, we conclude that there is no reason not to apply our decision in Thompson to this case even though it involves an action based on contract rather than tort.
Accordingly, concluding that appellant’s other contentions are unpersuasive, we affirm. 1
. Appellant has not provided an adequate record to permit review of all of her contentions, although it is her burden to do so. Cobb v. Standard Drug Co., Inc., 453 A.2d 110, 111 (D.C.1982). Also, contrary to appellant's contention, the exhaustion issue was raised and argued in the trial court.
