ARTICLE 1
RECOGNITION

Pursuant to Chapter 123, Public Laws of New Jersey, 1974, the Board hereby recognizes the Lavallette Education Association as the majority representative for collective negotiations concerning terms and conditions of employment for all full and part time certified teachers under contract or on leave, excluding the Superintendent.

ARTICLE 2
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
    The Board of Education believes that all teachers are entitled to have their complaints and grievances examined and settled in ways that are beneficial to both the teachers and the school system. The satisfactory settlement of complaints and grievances not only promotes wholesome attitudes and feelings about the performance of professional services but also increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the teacher in his relationship to the pupil and the community. The satisfactory solution of complaints and grievances may forestall the development of more serious problems and the loss of worker efficiency. In order to find satisfactory solutions, definite procedures must be followed in the school system. The superintendent shall develop the channels and procedures for the presentation and solution of complaints and grievances:
      1. By providing the opportunity for the teacher to have direct communication with the person who is responsible for the alleged grievance.
      2. By providing assurances that the channels for redressing grievances are open without fear of reprisal.
      1. By providing Lavallette Education Association the opportunity to participate in such considerations through official representation.

Definitions:

A complaint is regarded as any dissatisfaction that is expressed either orally or in writing by the teacher about, school policies or conditions of employment. A grievance is regarded as a more deep—seated dissatisfaction or disagreement that is expressed either orally or in writing by the teacher because of interpretation, application or alleged violation of policies, agreements, and administrative decisions affecting terms and conditions of employment.

1. Any teacher who has a grievance should discuss it first with the Superintendent in an attempt to resolve the matter informally at that level. The grievance procedure must be initiated by the teacher involved or his/her authorized representative within twenty (20) working days, of the time the teacher knew or should have known of its occurrence.

2. If, as a result of the discussion, the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the teacher within seven (7) calendar days, he/she shall set forth his/her complaint in writing to the Superintendent. He/she shall be obliged to state that he/she is invoking the Grievance Procedure. At this time, or at any later step, the teacher may be represented by himself/herself or a representative of the Lavallette Education Association if he/she so desires. The Association shall also have the opportunity to have a representative present whether or not the teacher requests representation, if it so desires. The Superintendent shall communicate his decision to the teacher in writing within five (5) school days of receipt of the written complaints.

3. If the grievance is not resolved to the teacher’s satisfaction, he/she may request a review by the Board of Education. The request shall be submitted in writing through the Superintendent who shall attach all papers related thereto and forward the request to the Board of Education. The Board, or committee thereof, shall review the grievance, hold a hearing with the teacher if requested, and render a decision in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days. In the event the decision of the Board of Education is unacceptable to the teacher, the teacher shall have the right to pursue all remedies provided by law.
