2. A grievance to be considered under this procedure must be initiated in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date when the grievant knew or should have known of its occurrence.
3. An "employee grievant" is the person or persons making the complaint.
4. An "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.
B. Rights of Membership to Representation
Any party in interest may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself/herself or at his/her option, by a representative of his/her own choosing.
C. Procedure
1. a. Failure at any step of this procedure to communicate the decision on a grievance within the specified time limits shall permit the employee grievant to proceed to the next step. In an emergency situation such as illness, vacation, or death in the family, this time limit may be extended by mutual agreement between the parties involved.
b. It is understood that any employee grievant shall, during and notwithstanding the pendency of any grievance, continue to observe all assignments and applicable rules and regulations of the Board until such grievance and any effect thereof shall have been duly determined.
c. A grievance shall be initiated at the lowest level at which a decision can be made, except that no grievance may be initiated at a level higher than the Superintendent of Schools.

An assistant principal who has a grievance shall discuss it first with his/her principal and a principal who has a grievance shall discuss it first with the Superintendent of Schools in an attempt to resolve the matter informally.

4. Level Three
If the grievance is not resolved to the grievant's satisfaction, he/she no later than five (5) school days after receipt of the Superintendent' decision, may request a review by the Board of Education. The request shall be submitted in writing through the Superintendent of Schools who shall attach all related papers and forward the request to the Board.

d. Any matter which according to law is either beyond the scope of Board authority or limited to unilateral action by the Board alone.
6. A request for arbitration will be honored only if the employee grievant, his/her representative and the Unit waive the right, if any, in writing to submit the matter at issue to any other administrative or judicial tribunal except for the purpose of enforcing the arbitrator's award.
7. The following procedure shall be used to secure the services of an arbitrator.
a. Either party may request the American Arbitration Association to submit a roster of persons qualified to function as arbitrator in the matter at issue.
b. If the parties are unable to determine a mutually satisfactory arbitrator from the submitted roster, they may request the American Arbitration Association to submit a second roster of names.
c. If the parties are unable to determine within ten (10) school days, or the initial request for arbitration a mutually satisfactory arbitrator from the second submitted roster, the American Arbitration Association may be requested by either party to designate an arbitrator.

INSURANCE PROTECTION
A. The Board of Education shall provide the health care insurance protection designated below.
1. Health/hospitalization insurance for all eligible unit members and his/her dependents. Effective with the 1994-1995 contract, covered employees shall pay 20% of the next $5000 medical expenses in any year after meeting their insurance deductible.
a. The Board will pay 100% of the premium for the “$5/$15/70” Plan for all eligible unit members. If an eligible unit member chooses to enroll in any other plan offered by the Board, and if that plan cost exceeds the cost of the “$5/$15/70” plan at the relevant enrollment level, the employee shall pay the difference between the “$5/$15/70” plan premium and the premium of the plan selected. Employee payment shall be made through regular payroll deductions.
b. Eligible unit members who are covered by some other health insurance program are encouraged not to sign for double coverage.
2. Prescription Insurance
The Board shall provide a prescription drug insurance plan, without contraceptives. The employee co-pay shall be $0 mail order; $10 generic; and $20 brand name. Effective July 1, 2006, the enrolled employee covered by single coverage shall pay $300 per year toward the premium; and the enrolled employee covered by an enrollment level above single coverage shall pay $375 per year toward the premium. During the term of the Agreement, the Board shall assume the balance of the premium. The actual contribution to the premium paid by the Board at each future enrollment level shall be the same as per the PEA contract.
3. The Board will provide full family dental insurance coverage with a limit not to exceed $500 per member. The dental plan shall include a $25 annual deductible per individual and a $75 annual deductible per family.
4. The parties agree that otherwise-eligible employees may voluntarily waive their entitlement to any or all insurances under Article 11, A. 1., A. 2. and A. 3. Those employees who do so shall receive 30% of the premium required to be paid by the Board each year.
In order to waive insurance under A. 1. above, the Board shall require an employee to provide proof of coverage (i.e. a copy of the medical insurance card or a letter from the medical insurance provider), before an employee may waive such insurance.
Re-enrollment shall occur on a July 1st or be consistent with the requirements of COBRA.
The above provisions shall expire on June 30, 2012, unless continued by the parties in writing before that date. In addition, with reasonable notice in writing from the Board, the above provisions will expire if there is evidence that premium rates have increased because of the waiver incentive system or if the carrier(s) do not permit such an incentive system.
5. The parties will implement a Section 125 account program in which employees may voluntarily make contributions to their own account. The foregoing is contingent on the parties agreeing on all the particulars, including proof that the plan is legal and that the plan imposes no additional costs on the Board. The employee may annually contribute up to the dollar maximum set forth in Federal law and regulation. At the time of enrollment the employee agrees to assume responsibility for all claims in excess of their deducted contributions. If a participating employee separates from the District prior to the end of the contribution year and makes claims in excess of the actual contribution he/she has made, the Board may recoup such excess claims first by withholding any compensation owed (for example, the last paycheck and/or payment for sick leave, or unused vacation compensation); and, second, by collecting directly from the employee the remaining difference between the claim and the actual employee contributions.
B. On or after July 1, 2010, the parties’ agreement on insurances shall be governed by the ratified Agreement covering the PEA unit. It is understood by the parties that the preceding sentence does not extend to this unit any reference to PEA unit members’ responsibilities vis-à-vis the State’s imposed 1.5% of base salary premium sharing mandate.
ARTICLE 12
