GRIEVANCES
A. Definitions
A “grievance” is a claim based upon an event or condition which affects the terms and conditions of employment of a unit employee or group of unit personnel and/or the interpretation, meaning, or application of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
B. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide a means to resolve grievance disputes which may arise. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.
C. Procedure
1. Grievances shall be processed as rapidly as possible. The number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process.
2. The aggrieved person will institute the grievance procedure within twenty (20) consecutive working days of the occurrence or within twenty (20) days of the date on which he/she becomes or should have become aware of the grievance. Consecutive working days are defined as those days on which business is conducted. In the event the grievance is not initiated within this period, the grievance is null and void and cannot be brought.
3. Level One
A person with a grievance shall first discuss his/her problem informally with his/her immediate superior to try to settle the grievance. Any decision shall be in writing and be given no later than ten (10) days from the date it was made known.
If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his/her grievance at Level One-A, or if no decision has been rendered within the time limit stated, the aggrieved person shall review his/her grievance with the Association. The Association, in discussion with the aggrieved person, shall determine within ten (10) working days whether to support the grievance if processed at Level Two.
4. Level Two
If the aggrieved person wishes to pursue the grievance, he/she must send a letter to the Superintendent within ten (10) working days with a copy to the principal or the immediate superior, state (a) the nature of the grievance, (b) extent of injury or loss, (c) reasons for writing the grievance, (d) articles of contract considered violated, if any, (e) results of previous discussion, (f) basis of dissatisfaction with the determination, and (g) requesting an audience with the Superintendent. This meeting must be scheduled within ten (10) working days upon receipt of the letter by the Superintendent. The Superintendent shall reply in writing, stating the reasons for his/her decision, to the aggrieved person within ten (10) working days after such meeting.
5. Level Three
If the aggrieved person and the Association are not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Level Two, he/she may appeal his/her grievance in writing within ten (10) days to the Board of Education specifying his/her reasons for his/her complaints within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the appeal of the grievance, the Board of Education will conduct a hearing to provide the aggrieved an opportunity to present his/her grievance. Within ten (10) days after the hearing, the Board shall render a decision and notify the aggrieved person(s) in writing. Copies of this decision will be forwarded by the Board to the Association and the Superintendent of Schools.
6. Level Four
In the event an aggrieved person is dissatisfied with the determination of the Board, he/she shall have the right to seek advisory arbitration. A demand for such arbitration shall be made no later than fifteen (15) working days following receipt of the written determination of the Board. Failure to file within said time period shall constitute a bar to such arbitration unless the aggrieved person and the Board shall mutually agree upon a longer time period with which to assert such a demand. The Board and the Association shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator. When the parties agree, or if they are unable to agree, they shall, within ten (10) working days of the demand, jointly request the Public Employment Relations Commission to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of their joint request, then a request shall be made to the American Arbitration Association to appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall conduct such proceedings as he/she shall deem necessary and shall render a report setting forth his/her findings of facts, reasoning, and recommendations within the shortest possible time. The recommendations made by the arbitrator shall be advisory only. The parties agree that they shall consider the recommendation but that it will not be binding on the parties. The following areas are not subject to advisory arbitration:
a. Failure to retain non-tenured unit personnel
b. A grievance for which a specific remedy is provided by law and is directly applicable to the grievance in point.
c. Failure to re-employ or appoint personnel in positions for which tenure is neither granted nor possible by law.
7. Miscellaneous
a. Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself/herself, at his/her option, by a representative selected or approved by the Secretarial Association. When a unit employee is not represented by the said Association, the Association shall have the right to be present and to state its views at all stages of the grievance procedure.
b. No reprisals of any kind shall be taken by the Board or by any member of the administration against any party in interest, any building representative, any members of the Secretarial Association, or any other participant in the grievance procedure by reason of such participation.
c. If, in the judgment of the Secretarial Association, a grievance affects a group or class of unit personnel, the said Association may submit such grievance in writing to the Superintendent directly and the processing of such grievance shall be commenced at Level One-B. The Secretarial Association may process such a grievance through all levels of the grievance procedure even though the aggrieved person does not wish to do so.
d. All documents, communications, and records dealing with the processing of a grievance, shall be filed in a separate grievance file and shall not be kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.
e. Forms for filing grievances, serving notices, taking appeals, making reports, and recommendations and other necessary documents shall be prepared jointly by the Superintendent and the Secretarial Association and given appropriate distribution so as to facilitate operation of the grievance procedure.
f. All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall not be conducted in public and shall include the parties and their designated or selected representatives, heretofore referred to in the ARTICLE.
g. Employees shall not have the right to refuse to follow administrative directives or Board policy on grounds that a grievance has been instituted or is in any stage of progress.
h. Failure at any step of this procedure to communicate the decision on a grievance within the time limits shall permit the unit employee to proceed to the next step. The parties, however, may mutually agree to extend the time periods specified herein.
i. Failure at any step of the procedure by the aggrieved or the Secretarial Association to appeal a grievance to the next step within the specified time limits, unless mutually extended, shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the decision rendered at that step, and an abandonment of further grievance procedure.
j. In any case where a grievance is based upon a determination made by the Superintendent, the grievance may be initiated at Level Two. In a case where a grievance is based upon a determination of the Board, the aggrieved may appeal directly to the Board at Level Three. In either instance, the grievance will be filed in accordance with the requirements of Level Two.
k. All meetings, hearings, and investigations under this procedure shall be accomplished without interference with the operation of the school system before business hours, and shall be considered private.
ARTICLE IV
INVOLUNTARY TRANSFERS AND REASSIGNMENTS
A. Any intent to involuntarily transfer or reassign a unit employee shall be made in writing by the Superintendent as soon as practicable and, except in cases of emergency, not later than May 15th for a succeeding school year.

Such statement shall include the position to which the unit employee desires to be assigned and the school or schools to which he/she desires to be transferred, in order of preference.
C. Current employees of the Sparta School System shall be given full consideration in filling such vacancies.
D. As soon as practicable, and no later than July 1st, the Superintendent shall post in each school and deliver to the Secretarial Association a system-wide schedule showing the names of all unit personnel who have been reassigned or transferred and the nature of such reassignment or transfer.

E. Unit members hired after July 1, 2000 shall receive the Direct Access health insurance plan only (including dependent coverage, if appropriate), until they have completed two (2) full years of continuous employment with the district**. With the start of the third year of employment, the unit member shall be eligible for prescription and dental coverages as outlined in “F” and “G” below. For purposes of the entitlement to prescription and dental benefits, the employee’s effective date of hire shall determine the two-year period.

Unit personnel, unless they are employed on a part-time basis, will work a seven-hour day exclusive of one hour for lunch. The exception to this will be during the summer recess when unit personnel will work a six-hour day exclusive of one hour for lunch. Building principals will stagger hours for unit personnel so that maximum coverage is established for the schools during the summer recess. When schools are closed for inclement weather, unit personnel shall not have to report to work provided, however, that at least one person must report and cover the school and/or departments* during this time. This person shall be selected on a rotating basis and the person who reports shall receive a compensatory day at a time to be mutually agreed upon between the administrator and unit member. In order for any unit member to be in attendance other than the one whose rotation it is, they must receive permission from the building principal. The above is effective unless the school offices are closed by the Superintendent due to severe storm conditions.
*Guidance, Special Services, Vice Principal
B. Compensation Time
If a secretary is requested by their building principal to work beyond contractual hours they will be given commensurate (compensatory) time off. (One hour compensatory time for each additional hour worked.)

On July 1st of each year, full-time twelve month unit personnel completing one year’s service to the district shall receive ten (10) days of paid vacation and shall earn one additional day of paid vacation per year of full-time employment until a maximum of twenty (20) days per year have been earned. The ten (10) days will be applied on a pro-rated basis for those unit personnel who work less than a year during their initial year of service. Such vacation period will be exclusive of national holidays granted as paid vacation time by the Board of Education. Vacation periods shall be established only with the prior approval of the immediate supervisor and the appropriate administrative office.
Unit personnel may accumulate up to a maximum of five (5) days of vacation time to be used in a future year with the prior approval of the building principal.
Any unit personnel leaving the district shall be given vacation time due them for that school year. (e.g., anyone with five (5) years of service is entitled to fourteen (14) days vacation.

In the event that any of the above days fall on Saturday, the preceding Friday may be observed as the holiday. In the event that any of the above days fall on Sunday, the following Monday may be observed as the holiday. A list of the days will be available at the start of the school year.
D. All ten month secretaries will work the teachers’ calendar with the following exceptions: Ten month secretaries will start their work year September 1st and end their work year on the last day of June.
ARTICLE XI
SICK LEAVE
A. Sick leave is hereby defined to mean the absence from duty of any unit employee because of personal disability due to illness or injury, or because he/she has been excluded from school by the School District’s medical authorities because of a contagious disease or because of a quarantine for such a disease in his/her immediate household.
B. All twelve-month unit employees shall be allowed sick leave with full pay for twelve (12) days in any year. All unused sick leave shall be accumulative for additional sick leave as needed in subsequent years. Unit personnel who have worked in the Sparta School System for ten (10) consecutive years will be granted one additional day per year in each succeeding year until a maximum of seventeen (17) days per year are granted, fifteen (15) days of which shall be cumulative.
C. All ten-month unit employees shall be allowed sick leave with full pay for ten (10) days in any year. All unused sick leave shall be accumulative for additional sick leave as needed in subsequent years. Ten-month unit employees who have worked in the Sparta School System for ten (10) consecutive years will be granted one additional day per year in each succeeding year until a maximum of fifteen (15) cumulative days per year are granted.
D. Upon the retirement of unit personnel, the Board of Education will review the attendance record of the retiring individual and provide him/her with a lump sum payment for unused sick leave at the following rate per day after the first fifty (50) days are deducted:
Day 51 - 200 $20.00 per day
The lump sum compensation shall not be considered a part of the contract salary for retirement purposes. Notice of retirement must be provided by the individual at least ninety (90) days prior to its effective date, except in cases of emergency or medical disability.
ARTICLE XII
PERSONAL BUSINESS
Each year, the Board of Education will grant three (3) days for compelling personal reasons with full pay pending approval of the Superintendent upon application therefore. Unused personal leave will be transferred to accumulated sick leave at the end of each school year. Compelling personal reasons means that such business is essential and will require the presence of the employee during normal working hours.
Since the application requires approval by the Superintendent, it is incumbent upon the requester to make known sufficient details of the need for the “necessary personal day” except in those rare circumstances where the nature of the details is such that privacy must be maintained. In the latter case, a written statement that the business is personal and is of an “emergency” nature in the context of this policy should be submitted to the Superintendent.
Should the request be denied approval by the Superintendent, a written reason will be returned to the requester.
ARTICLE XIII
LEAVES OF ABSENCE
A. Leaves of absence without pay may be granted for serious illness in the family of those living in the immediate household which requires the presence and care of the tenured employee for an extended period of time. A tenured employee shall not receive credit for this absence on the salary guide schedule for the time spent on this leave. Upon return, the employee will resume his/her normal place on the salary schedule and shall be assigned to a similar position.
B. Upon application and approval of the Board, an unpaid leave of absence of up to two (2) years for personal reasons may be granted to a tenured employee having ten (10) years of service in the district. Requests for personal leave must be received by the Superintendent in writing no later than March 15th, and action taken on all such requests no later than April 15th. Upon return, the employee shall resume his/her normal place on the salary guide without credit for the years on leave and shall be assigned to a similar position that was held at the time of the leave. This policy is not meant to include provisions, during the leave, of those employee benefits such as medical benefits, or accrual of additional sick leave. Upon return to the district all rights, privileges, and benefits previously earned shall be restored to the employee.
C. Use of sick leave benefits for disability due to childbirth shall be granted in accordance with law, upon the presentation of proper medical certification.
ARTICLE XIV
BOARD POLICIES
All Board policies affecting unit personnel shall be placed in the hands of each individual at the beginning of each school year. These policies shall be reviewed for clarification by the principal of each building with his unit staff at the beginning of each school year.
ARTICLE XV
