GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE


  1. Definitions
      1. A “grievance is a claim by a teacher based upon the interpretation, application,
          or violation of the agreement, policies, or administrative decisions affecting a
          teacher’s or group of teacher’s terms and conditions of employment.
      1. An “aggrieved person” is the person or persons making the claim.
      1. A “party in interest” is the person or persons making the claim and any person,
          including the Board, who might be required to take action, or against who action
          might be taken, in order to resolve the claim.

  1. Purpose
      1. The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable
          solutions to the problems which from time to time arise affecting teachers. Both
          parties agree that these proceedings be kept as informal and confidential as may be
          appropriate at any level of this procedure.
      1. The number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum
          and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified
          may, however, be extended by mutual consent or agreement.
      1. Failure to process a grievance to the next level of the procedure within the certified
          time limit should be deemed as a waiver of further appeal.











  1. Procedure
      1. Any problem shall be discussed informally first with the Chief School Administrator
          within fifteen (15) school days after becoming aware of the said act, which caused
          the grievance, and occurred during the current contract year. Should the C.S.A.
          be unable to resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the teacher within ten (10)
          school days, the matter shall be reduced to writing and re-submitted as a formal
          grievance to the Chief School Administrator.

2. Level One

Within five (5) school days after receipt of the formal written grievance, the Chief
School Administrator shall render a decision in writing to the aggrieved employee.

      3. Level Two
          1. If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at
              Level One, or if no decision has been rendered within five (5) school days
              after the presentation of the grievance, then the aggrieved person may within
          ten (10) school days render an appeal to the Board of Education. The request
              shall be submitted in writing through the Chief School Administrator, who will forward the request to the Board of Education.
          1. The Board shall review a grievance at the first regularly scheduled School
              Board meeting following receipt of the grievance, or at the first special School Board meeting scheduled for that purpose following the receipt of the grievance, whichever meeting occurs first. The Board shall render a decision in writing within ten (10) days following the aforementioned hearing.











      1. Level Three
          1. If the Association determines the grievance is meritorious and is not
            satisfied with the Board’s decision, or if no decision has been rendered,
            the Association may submit the matter to binding arbitration within fifteen
              (15) calendar days after the Board’s decision, or if the absence of the Board’s decision within thirty (30) calendar days of the submission of the grievance to the Board, provided that the Association notifies the Board of Education in writing of its intent to proceed to arbitration within the prescribed time lines set forth herein above.
          1. A request for a list of arbitrators may be made to the Public Employment
              Relations Commission by either party. The parties shall be bound by the rules and procedures of PERC.
          1. Only matters relating to teacher’s terms and conditions of employment as set
              forth in this Agreement may be submitted to arbitration. The Arbitrator shall be limited to the issue(s) submitted and shall consider nothing else. The Arbitrator can add nothing to, subtract anything from, nor modify the express terms of this agreement.
          1. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be submitted in writing to the Board and to
            the Association, and shall be final and binding upon the parties.
          1. All costs of arbitration including, but not limited to, per diem expenses,
          travel expenses, subsistence, and costs for the hearing area, shall be shared
          equally by the Board and the Association. All other expenses shall be
          paid by the party incurring such expenses.
            1. It is further understood that the arbitration procedure relative thereto as set
              forth herein shall not apply to the following matters.



            1. Matters for which a method of reviews is prescribed either by law or
            Regulation of the State Commissioner of Education:
            1. In matters where the Board is without authority to act:

                being re-employed:

                appointment to, retention in or lack of retention in, any position which

        recommendations, and other necessary documents shall be prepared jointly by the
            Chief School Administrator and the Association and given appropriate distribution
            so as to facilitate operation of the grievance procedure. No materials or equipment
            of the School Board may be used in making reports or forms without the prior consent of said School Board.

        C. All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall not be conducted in public
            and shall include only such parties in interest and their designated or selected
    representatives heretofore referred to in this Article.


    D. If a grievance affects a group or class of teachers, the Association may submit such
            grievance in writing to the Chief School Administrator directly and the processing of such grievance shall be commenced at Level Two.
        E. All teachers, including the aggrieved, are required to follow administrative directive and Board policies under the direction of the Chief School Administrator and
            Administration regardless of the status of any grievance until such grievance is
    properly determined.
        F. No reprisals of any kind shall be taken by either party against any participants in the grievance procedure by reason of such participation.

        G. Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself or at his option, by a representative selected by the Association. When an employee is not represented by the Association, the Association shall have the right to be present, and to state its views, at all stages of the grievance procedure. Such procedure concerning representation shall not apply at Level One.

          C. The District further agrees to be willing to submit other full day in-service programs
              which have been determined by the Chief School Administrator to be necessary or desirable, for consideration of CEI credit, but this shall in no way obligate the district to alter such
