-2-

Agreement as established by the rules, regulations and/or policies of the Board in force on said date, shall continue to be so applicable during the term of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

Definitions

A “grievance” shall mean a complaint by a teacher (1) that there has been as to him a violation or inequitable application of any of the provisions of this contract or of Board policies relating to terms or conditions of employment.

An “aggrieved person” is the person or persons making the complaint.

A “party in interest” is the person or persons making the complaint and any person who might be required to take action or against whom action might be taken in order to resolve the complaint.

The term “days” when used in this Article shall mean working school days; thus weekend or vacation days are excluded.

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to the problems which may from time to time arise, affecting the welfare or working conditions of teachers. Both parties agree that grievance procedures will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.

Initiation and Processing

Level One-Immediate Supervisor

-4-

Level Two-Written Grievance (Superintendent)

If the results of the Level I meeting are not satisfactory to the grievant or the Association, either may submit the grievance in writing within twenty-five (25) days following the act or condition which is the basis of his complaint, to the Superintendent. A hearing on such grievance shall be held by the Superintendent at a mutually convenient time within ten (10) days of receipt of such written notice.

Within five (5) days after the hearing of the grievance by the Superintendent, the Superintendent shall make his decision known in writing to the grievant and to all persons officially present at the hearing.

If the results of the Level II meeting are not satisfactory to the grievant or the Association, the Association shall have the option to appeal the decision of the Superintendent to the Board of Education, or to the Office of the Commissioner of Education on a case-by-case basis. Such action shall be taken within ten (10) days of receipt of the decision of the Superintendent. The Board will promptly review such an appeal and may schedule a hearing on the matter to provide the grievant and the Association the opportunity to address the Board on the matter being grieved.

Exercising this option shall not diminish the right of the Association to take up the matter in arbitration as provide below.

Arbitration

A grievance may not be submitted to an arbitrator unless a decision has been rendered by the Superintendent of Schools under the grievance procedure, except in cases where, upon expiration of the time limit for decision, no decision was issued by the Superintendent, under Section C, above.

-5-

The proceedings shall be initiated by filing with the Superintendent and the Public Employment Relations Commission a notice of arbitration. Both parties shall be bound by the rules of the Public Employment Relations Commission. The notice shall be filed within ten (10) days after receipt of the decision of the Superintendent under the grievance procedure, or where no decision has been issued by the Superintendent with ten (10) days following the expiration of the time limits for the Superintendent’s decision. The notice shall include a statement setting forth precisely the issue to be decided by the arbitrator and the specific provision of the Agreement involved.

Unless the parties agree that it shall be binding, the arbitrator’s decision shall be advisory only and limited strictly to the interpretation, application, or violation of the language of the contract. The arbitrator shall not add to or subtract from the Agreement and shall limit his findings to the language of the contract.

The costs for the services of the arbitrator will be borne equally by the Board and the Association.

General Provisions as to Grievances and Arbitration

Rights of Teachers to Process Grievance Without Intervention or Representation.
Association Right to Representation

When a teacher is not represented by the Association, the Association shall have the right to be present and to state its views at all stages except Level One of the grievance procedure.

Time Limits

Failure at any step of this procedure except Level One to communicate the decision in writing on a grievance within the specified time limits shall permit the grievant to proceed to the next step. Failure at any step in this procedure to appeal a grievance to the next step within the specified time limits shall preclude any further appeal on the grievance. The time limits specified in any step of this procedure may be changed in any specific instance only by mutual agreement, signed by the Superintendent and the President of the Association. In the event that a grievance is filed at such time that it cannot be processed through all the steps in this grievance procedure by the end of the school year, and if left unresolved until the beginning of the following school year could result in harm to a party in interest, the time limits set forth herein shall be reduced so that the grievance procedure may be exhaused prior to the end of the school year or as soon thereafter as practicable.

Stating Purpose of Visit

In the course of investigation of any grievance, representatives of the Association will report to the Superintendent and will state the purpose of the visit upon arrival.

Conflicts with Instructional Program

Every effort will be made by all parties to avoid interruption of classroom activities and to avoid the involvement of students in all phases of the grievance procedure.
