This Agreement incorporates the entire understanding of the parties on all negotiable matters and shall not be modified in whole or in part by the parties except by an instrument in writing duly executed by both parties.

Meeting procedures shall be agreed upon by the negotiating teams at their first meeting.

Nothing contained herein shall deny any covered employee the rights he has under federal law or laws of the State of New Jersey.

Whenever any covered employee is required to appear before the Superintendent, Board, or any committee thereof, for a meeting the purpose of which is to advise a covered employee of a matter adversely affecting his status and/or income in position, he shall be given prior written notice of the reasons for such a meeting or interview and shall, at his option, be entitled to have up to two representatives of his own choice present to advise him and represent him during each meeting or interview. If the covered employee chooses to have representatives present, the meeting may be delayed for a reasonable period of time in order to have his representatives available.

A covered-employee shall not be subject to disciplinary action or formal reprimand, be reduced in rank or compensation, or be deprived of professional advantage without just cause.

No covered employee shall be prevented from wearing Association-approved jewelry, or other similar identification of membership in the Association or its affiliates.

Any conference or meeting held with respect to professional evaluation of a unit member shall not be covered by the above provision.

Representatives of the Association will be permitted to hold meetings to transact official Association business on school property provided that this does not interfere with or interrupt school operations; does not conflict with Board approved activities or facility rentals; does not require buildings to be opened at a time they are normally closed; and does not require additional janitorial or maintenance time. Clearance for such meetings must be obtained from the building principal.

The Association will have in each school building the exclusive use of a bulletin board in the break room.

A “grievance” is a claim by a covered employee, or the Association, that there has been a violation of the Agreement or of Board policies or in the interpretation or application thereof with respect to said employee or Association, hereinafter called the “aggrieved.”

The “aggrieved” is a person or persons making the complaint.

Consideration of grievance will not be deemed to make any matters subject to negotiation unless specifically included in this Agreement by mutual consent of the Board and Association.

In an Association grievance, the procedure to be followed is the same as that for a covered employee through Levels One, Two, Three and Four.

The purpose of this procedure is to resolve, at the lowest possible level, complaints which may be brought to grievance. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and as confidential as possible at any level of the procedure.

Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level is to be considered as a maximum and every effort will be made to expedite the process. The time limits may, however, be reduced or extended by mutual consent of all parties of interest as defined.

The aggrieved should discuss the matter with his immediate administrative supervisor to resolve it. If the matter is not resolved at this stage, both parties shall sign a written statement that a discussion was held.

Any complaint brought under this procedure must be presented within fifteen (15) school days of the action under complaint, or it may not be considered a grievance unless mutually consented to by both Board and Association.

Once submitted, the formal written grievance must stand as written through all steps. The aggrieved must specify the particular provision of this Agreement or Board policy that the aggrieved alleges to have been violated, his contention with respect thereto, and the specific remedy being sought.

Level One

If a covered employee is unable to have his complaint adjusted to his satisfaction informally, he may proceed to formal grievance. If the covered employee wishes to present a formal grievance, it must be presented in writing to his immediate administrator or the administrator’s assigned designee within fifteen (15) school days of the action under complaint. (See C.2. above.) The administrator or his assigned designee must reply in writing to the aggrieved within five (5) school days.

Level Two

If the aggrieved is not satisfied with the disposition of his or her grievance at Level One, or if no decision has been rendered within five (5) school days, he may proceed to the next level. To proceed to the next level, he must submit within • five (5) school days a copy of the original grievance and the reply, if any, to the Superintendent. The Superintendent must report his decision to the aggrieved in writing within seven (7) school days.

Level Three

If the grievance is not resolved to the aggrieved’s satisfaction, the aggrieved may request a review by the Board. This request must be submitted no later than five (5) school days after receipt of the Superintendent’s written decision or within twelve (12) school days of the filing of the grievance with the Superintendent if no decision has been issued. The request shall be submitted in writing through the Superintendent who shall forward it to the Board. The Board shall review the grievance, and the Board or its committee shall hold a hearing with the aggrieved within 30 days of receipt of the grievance and shall render a decision in writing within 15 calendar days after the hearing.

Level Four

Grievances reaching Level Four will be of two (2) types only:

Type One - Alleged violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of the terms of this Agreement.

Type Two - Alleged misinterpretation or misapplication of Board policy or administrative decision involving the interpretation of Board policy.

Type One grievances shall be submitted-to the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The recommendation for settlement made by the arbitrator will be binding upon both parties.

Type Two grievance will follow the same procedure as Type One, except the recommendations resulting from arbitration will be non-binding, although both the Board and Association agree that they will give consideration to any recommendation for settlement.

General Stipulations

When the decision has been made to request the assistance of the AAA, such request may be made by either the solicitor of the Board or the Association. The party who makes such a request will advise the AAA of the names and addresses of both parties and serve a copy of said demand on the other side.

The fee and expenses of the AAA and the arbitrator which are incurred under Level Four will be shared equally by the Board and the Association or the non-member covered employee.

The rules of the AAA will be followed in all proceedings connected with the arbitration.

It is agreed that the decision of the arbitrator will not add to, subtract from, or modify the wording of any provision of the Agreement, and that the arbitration shall be confined to the interpretation of the contract based upon the facts disclosed by the evidence presented at a hearing with both parties present.

The cost to the retired employee shall be at applicable regular employee rates. The right to buy in may be exercised until Medicare age. The retiree must buy in to the specified desired insurance(s) immediately upon retirement. Failure to maintain enrollment by the retired employee is a forfeiture of the retired employee’s rights under this paragraph. The administration shall set guidelines for enrollment including rules requiring receipt of retired employee payments prior to the enrollment period.

If an employee dies while still employed by the Board, all insurance benefits under A., B., D., and E. above in effect at the time of death will continue at Board expense for his dependents for six (6) months after his death.

The annual “trigger point, shall be increased to $5,000.00 before 100% reimbursement.

The Board will provide and pay the administrative expense for a Section 125 Plan to allow deduction of employee health benefit premium contributions on a pre-tax basis.

The tenured employee shall state whether he desires a leave solely for the balance of the school year in which the child is born or for an additional school year.


Non-tenured employees may apply for leave under 2.a. utilizing the same process. However, denial of such leave beyond the balance of the school year in which the child is born shall not be the basis for a grievance.

If an employee, under 2.a. above, has elected to take only a leave for the balance of the school year in which the child is born, the employee may apply for the additional full school year of such leave. Application shall be made on the child-rearing leave form provided by the Board and shall be received by the Superintendent no later than April 1 prior to the termination of the leave granted under 2.

Any employee adopting a child shall be granted a child-rearing leave in conformity with the provisions of 2., which shall commence upon the date such employee obtains custody of the child. Notice shall be given to the Superintendent at least sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of custody, if possible, and if not, as soon as practicable. An extension of child-rearing leave may be made under the provisions of 3.

Nothing herein shall prevent the employee and the Board from agreeing that an employee may return sooner than the leave termination date granted if such earlier return is administratively convenient to the Board and is not medically contraindicated.

Upon return from a child-rearing leave, all benefits to which the employee was entitled at the time of the commencement of leave, including unused accumulated sick leave, shall be restored.

Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require the Board to offer a new contract for a new school year to any non-tenured employee who would not otherwise have been offered such a contract.

During the term of his employment, an employee may receive no more than two (2) of the leaves under 2. above, Consecutive leave under 2./3. shall not be granted to any employee. Each of these limitations may be waived at the sole discretion of the Board. The Board decision in this regard is not subject to Level Four of the grievance procedure.

The purpose of this fee will be to offset the employee’s per capita cost of services rendered by the Association as majority representative.

Prior to the beginning of each-membership year, the Association will notify the Board in writing of the amount of the regular membership dues, initiation fees and assessments charged by the Association to its own members for that membership year. The representation fee to be paid by nonmembers will be determined by the Association in accordance with the law.

Termination of Employment
If an employee who is required to pay-a representation fee terminates his or her employment with the Board before the Association has received the full amount of the representation fee to which it is entitled under this Article, the Board will deduct the unpaid portion of the fee from the last paycheck paid to said employee during the membership year in question.
Mechanics
Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the mechanics for the transmission of such fees to the Association will, as nearly as possible, be the same as those used for the transmission of regular membership dues to the Association.
Changes

The list will include names, social security numbers, job titles, dates of employment and places of assignment for all such employee. The Board will also notify the Association of any change in the status of an employee regarding transfer, leave of absence, return from leave, retirement, resignation, separation from employment, or death.

The Association shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the Board against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability that shall arise out of fee deductions by the Board for the Association which the Board has remitted to the Association and reliance by the Board on any representations made by the Association with respect to this Article. The Association shall assume full responsibility for the defense of any such claim, demand, suit or other form of liability and the Board will cooperate fully with the Association in gathering evidence, securing witnesses, and in all other aspects of said defense.
