This Agreement is entered into this 13th day of December 2005, by and between the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional Board of Education, Bridgewater, New Jersey, hereinafter called the “Board” and the Bridgewater-Raritan Supervisors’ Association, hereinafter called the “BRSA.”

ARTICLE I

    Unless otherwise indicated, the title “administrator” when used in this agreement shall refer to all employees in the BRSA negotiating unit.

B. This Agreement incorporates the entire understanding of the parties on all matters which were the subject of negotiation. During the term of this Agreement neither party shall be required to negotiate with respect to any such matter whether or not covered by this Agreement and whether or not within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time they negotiated or executed this Agreement.

C. If any provision of this Agreement or any application of this to any employee or group of employees is held to be contrary to law, then such provision or application shall not be deemed valid and subsisting, except as permitted by law, but all other provisions or applications shall continue in full force and effect.

D. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as indicating that the BRSA or the Board waive their rights with respect to the future negotiability or non-negotiability of items of terms and conditions of employment with respect to successor agreements.

ARTICLE II
NEGOTIATION PROCEDURE

A. The parties agree to enter into collective negotiation for a successor Agreement not later than October 1 of the year the contract is to expire in accordance with NJSA 34:13A-1 through 21 in a good faith effort to reach agreement concerning the terms and conditions of administrators’ employment. Any Agreement negotiated shall apply to the unit defined, be reduced to writing, be ratified by the BRSA, be adopted by the Board, and be signed by the BRSA and the Board.

B. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted and/or applied so as to eliminate, reduce, or otherwise detract from any terms and conditions of employment existing prior to its effective date.

ARTICLE III
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

A. A “grievance” shall mean a claim by administrators that there has been misinterpretation, misapplication or a violation of Board policy, this Agreement, or an administrative decision affecting him/her. A grievance to be considered under this procedure must be initiated by administrators within ten (10) business office work days of the time the administrators knew or should have known of its occurrence.

B. l. It is agreed by both parties that these proceedings will be kept as formal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of this procedure.

2. Failure at any step of this procedure to communicate the decision on a grievance within the specified time limits shall permit the aggrieved employee to proceed to the next step. Failure at any step of this procedure to appeal a grievance to the next step within the specified time limits shall be deemed to be acceptance of the decision rendered at that step.

3. It is understood that administrators 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 fully determined.

4. Since it is important that grievances 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.

C. Grievance Levels

      Level One

        Any administrator who has a grievance shall discuss it first with an immediate superior in an attempt to resolve the matter informally at that level.


      Level Two


        If as a result of the discussion at Level One the matter is not resolved, the administrator may, within five (5) business office work days of the discussion conference, set forth the grievance in writing to the superior on the grievance forms provided. The superior shall communicate a decision to the administrator in writing within five (5) business office work days of receipt of the written grievance.


      Level Three

        The administrator, no later than five (5) business office work days after receipt of the superior’s decision, may appeal the decision to the Superintendent of Schools. The appeal to the Superintendent must be made in writing reciting the matter submitted to the superior as specified above and the reasons for dissatisfaction with the decisions previously rendered. The Superintendent or a designee shall attempt to resolve the matter as quickly as possible but within a period not to exceed ten (10) business office work days. The Superintendent shall communicate a decision in writing with reasons to the administrator and the superior.

        Decisions of the Superintendent in any matter excluded from the definition of a grievance heretofore shall be final and binding on all parties in interest and such decision shall neither be the subject of an appeal to the Board nor submitted to advisory arbitration. The parties expressly agree that consideration of such questions by the Superintendent is not intended and shall not be construed to be a waiver of the fact that such matters are not to be deemed grievances.

        An administrator in order to process his/her grievance beyond Level Three must have the request for such action accompanied by the written recommendation for such action by the BRSA.


      Level Four

        If the grievance is not resolved to the administrator’s satisfaction, the administrator, not later than five (5) business office work days after receipt of the Superintendent’s decision, may request a review by the Board. The request shall be submitted in writing through the Superintendent of Schools who shall attach all related papers and forward the request within five (5) business office work days to the Board. The Board shall review the grievance and shall, at the option of the Board or upon request of the administrator hold a hearing with the administrator and render a decision in writing with reasons within thirty-five (35) calendar days of receipt of the grievance by the Board or of the date of the hearing with the employee, whichever comes later.

        If the decision of the Board does not resolve the grievance to the satisfaction of the administrator and the administrator wishes review by a third party, the administrator shall so notify the Board through the Superintendent within ten (10) business office work days of receipt of the Board’s decision.

      Level Five

        No claim by an administrator shall constitute a grievable matter beyond Level Four or be processed beyond Level Four if it pertains to (a) any matter for which a detailed method of review is prescribed by law, (b) any rule or regulation of the State Commissioner of Education, but not to the violation misinterpretation or misapplication of such rule or regulation, (c) any By-Law of the Board pertaining to its internal operation or (d) any matter which according to law is beyond the scope of Board’s authority.

    D. Procedure for Securing the Services of an Arbitrator
      The-following procedure will be used to secure the services of an Arbitrator:

    1. A request will be made to Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) to submit a roster of persons qualified to function as an arbitrator in the dispute in question.

    2. If the parties are unable to determine a mutually satisfactory arbitrator from the submitted list, they will request that PERC submit a second roster of names.

    3. If the parties are unable to determine, within ten (10) business office work days of the initial request for arbitration, a mutually satisfactory arbitrator from the second submitted list, PERC may be requested by either party to designate an arbitrator.

    4. The arbitrator shall be limited to the issues submitted and shall consider nothing else. The arbitrator can add nothing nor subtract anything from the Agreement between the parties or any policy of the Board. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties when there is a claim by an employee, employees, or representatives of an employee or employees, that there has been misinterpretation, misapplication, or a violation of any of the provisions of the Agreement. Only the Board and the aggrieved and representatives shall be given copies of the arbitrator’s report of findings, reasons and recommendations. This shall be accomplished within thirty (30) calendar days of the arbitrator’s hearings.

    E. Rights of Administrators to Representation
      Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself/herself, or at his/her option by a representative selected or approved by the BRSA.


    F. Costs
    l. Each party shall bear the total cost incurred by themselves.
    2. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator are the only costs which will be shared by the two parties and they will be shared equally.

    G. Grievances Against Administrators
    l. Any administrator shall have the right to representation at any formal grievance step or any grievance involved against him/her. Any cost incurred as a result of such a grievance shall be borne by the Board.
