Failure at any level of this procedure to appeal a grievance to the next level permitted, within the specified time limit (in work days) will be deemed an acceptance of the decision rendered at that level.

                                                                                                3. It shall be the general practice to process grievances during times that do not interfere with assigned duties of the employees. In the event the Board and the arbitrator agree to hold the proceedings during regular working hours, an aggrieved person and their Association representative, participating in any level of the grievance procedure with any representative of the Board, will be released from their assigned duties without loss of salary.

                                                                                                4. If the grievance arises from the action of an authority higher than the school principal, the grievance may be initiated at the Superintendent level.

                                                                                                5. A grievance will be processed according to the established time lines unless the parties mutually agree, in writing, to extend the time line.

                                                                                                6. The times, dates, and locations for the arbitration hearing and decision will be set by agreement of the arbitrator, the Association, and the Board.

                                                                                                7. The decision of the arbitrator shall be submitted to the Board and binding on both parties.

                                                                                                8. All documents, communications, and records dealing with the processing of a grievance will be filed in a separate grievance folder and will not be kept in the personnel folder of any participant.


                                                                                              F. Levels in the Procedure:
                                                                                                1. Level One: Within 20 work days of its occurrence, an employee with a grievance will discuss it with his/her principal or immediate supervisor, either directly or through the Association’s designated representative, with the objective of resolving the matter informally.

                                                                                                2. Level Two: If as a result of the discussion, the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the employee within (5) work days, he or she may set forth the grievance in writing to the Principal on the grievance forms provided. The Principal will communicate his decision to the grievant in writing within (5) workdays of receipt of the written grievance.

                                                                                                3. Level Three: The employee, no later than five (5) work days after receipt of the Principal’s decision, may appeal the Principal’s decision to the Superintendent of Schools in writing and attach the original grievance paperwork. The Superintendent shall attempt to resolve the matter quickly, but within a period not to exceed ten (10) work days. The Superintendent shall communicate his or her decision in writing to the employee and to the Principal, or to the Association on behalf of the employee.

                                                                                                4. Level Four: If the grievance is not resolved to the grievant’s satisfaction, he or she, no later than (5) work days after the receipt of the Superintendent’s decision, may request a review by a committee of the Board of Education. The request will be submitted in writing through the Superintendent of Schools who shall attach all related papers and forward the request within (5) five work days to the Board of Education. The Board’s committee shall review the grievance and shall, at the option of the Board, hold a hearing with the Association representative and render a decision in writing within twenty-five (25) work days of the Board’s receipt of the grievance.

                                                                                                5. Level Five: If the Association is dissatisfied with the decision of the Board of Education and only if the grievance pertains to an alleged violation of the Agreement, the Association may request the appointment of a mutually agreed upon Arbitrator. This request must be made in writing within ten (10) work days, and must be made to the Board of Education Secretary. A mutually agreed upon arbitrator will be selected, and their acceptance by both parties will be stated in writing, or the selection will proceed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Public Employment Relations Commission.

                                                                                                6. The arbitrator shall be limited to the issues submitted and shall consider nothing else. The arbitrator can add nothing to nor subtract anything from the Agreement between the parties. The arbitrator is not precluded, however, from relying on past practice if needed to interpret ambiguous contractual provisions.

                                                                                                ARTICLE XII
                                                                                                LEAVES AND ABSENCES

                                                                                                1. Sick Leave
                                                                                                  a. Sick leave will be granted only as the result of personal disability due to illness or injury. Employees hired after the opening of school will have sick days pro-rated at one (1) per month or partial month worked.

                                                                                                a. In case of death of a member of the immediate family, family as herein used means parents, spouse, brother, sister, children or adopted children, grandchildren grandparents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, stepchild, stepparent, domestic partner of an employee or the death of a relative who lived in the household of the employee, such employee will be excused without loss of pay or sick leave for a period not to exceed five (5) days. The Board may extend leave in the case of the death of a child or spouse. The five days will begin the day the employee leaves. Such leave may not be cumulative and will exclude Saturday, Sunday, and all legal holidays.

                                                                                                b. One day per year, other than listed in (a) above will be granted to attend a funeral. Such leave will not be cumulative.
                                                                                                  c. The Board of Education and Association acknowledge and agree that there may be extenuating circumstances requiring bereavement leave in excess of the number of days set forth herein. In such a case, the employee may request from the Superintendent of Schools permission to take additional days, with or without pay, as determined by the Superintendent of Schools. The consent of the Superintendent of Schools will not be unreasonably withheld.

                                                                                                d. Part-time employees will receive benefits in this paragraph without pay.

                                                                                                4. Personal Leave

Two (2) personal days per academic year cumulative to five (5) days for ten (10) month employees and three (3) personal days for twelve (12) month employees cumulative to seven and one half (7 1/2) may be granted entirely at the discretion of the Superintendent, provided the employee requesting the personal days states to the Superintendent the activity is such that it requires the employee's absence during the scheduled workday and is of such a nature that it cannot be attended to at times other than the employee's scheduled workday. Part-time employees will be granted personal leave on a pro-rated basis of hours worked.

                                                                                                b. Application for a personal leave must be submitted in writing at least three (3) workdays in advance (except in cases of emergencies as determined by the Superintendent).

Personal leave on days immediately proceeding or following scheduled school holidays, and the first and last days of the school year will be granted for extenuating circumstance at the discretion of the Superintendent.

                                                                                                d. The Superintendent retains the right to deny a request for leave if insufficient employees are available to adequately staff the school.

                                                                                                e. An employee with unused personal days may have the option of converting the days into family illness days accruable to ten (10) or sick days.

                                                                                                  A Sick Leave Bank has been established to provide compensable level coverage to bargain unit members who are absent for an extended period due to catastrophic illness or injury. Benefits are only accessible to members who participate.

                                                                                                The Bank shall operate in accordance with the following rules and regulations:
                                                                                                  a. A representative from each building - selected by building members - will serve on a committee with a representative from administration.

                                                                                                b. A unit member may participate in the Sick Leave Bank by giving written notice to the Business Office of the desire to donate one (1) or more Personal Days to the Bank.

                                                                                                d. The Sick Leave Bank shall be available only to those members who have exhausted all earned and accumulated leave time (e.g. vacation, sick, personal days) as recommended by the committee and approved by the Board.

                                                                                                e. The participating member will be allowed to use up to 120 days of the accrued days.

                                                                                                f. When the Sick Leave Bank falls below 60 days, each member will again contribute one Personal Day.

                                                                                                6. Leaves of Absences
                                                                                                  Leaves of Absence may be granted to tenured employees having served ten (10) years in the district. Such employees may request a leave of absence for one or two years. All requests for leaves must be made in writing to the Superintendent by April 30th proceeding the academic year for the request.

                                                                                                7. Emergency Leave of Absence

                                                                                                A request for an Emergency Leave of Absence will:

                                                                                                c. indicate the approximate length of leave;

                                                                                                d. comply with the proper authorization as requested by the Board, such as a doctor's certificate.
                                                                                                  The time of emergency leave granted to tenured employees will be from one month to the end of the school year, with extension at the discretion of the Board.

                                                                                                8. Disability Leaves (Including Maternity)
                                                                                                  a. An employee who anticipates a disability shall notify his/her immediate supervisor in writing of the anticipated commencement of the disability as soon as the employee knows of it.

                                                                                                b. In the case of pregnancy, the employee shall inform the supervisor of the anticipated delivery date.

                                                                                                c. No later than 90 days prior to the anticipated delivery date, the employee shall request a leave of absence while she is disabled, for which accumulated sick leave may be utilized.

                                                                                                d. The Board reserves the right to regulate the commencement and termination dates of anticipated disability leaves in order to preserve educational continuity (as permitted by the Federal Family Leave Act and the New Jersey Family Leave Act). When this occurs, an employee who is placed on an involuntary unpaid leave shall be entitled to all sick leave and insurance benefits during the period of actual disability, according to this Agreement and the rules of the insurance carrier. However, time spent on unpaid leave shall not be counted for accrual of any benefits.

                                                                                                e. The Board may require as a condition of the employee's return to service the production of a certificate from the employee's physician certifying that the employee is medically able to resume his/her duties.

The number of hours for each activity are suggested and may be modified by the principal with notice to and approval from the Chief School Administrator provided budgeted funds are available. Should, for whatever reason, e.g. numbers of participants, etc., the activity hours be less than what is listed, a staff member will be paid the hourly rate times the actual hours. Prior to undertaking supervision of an activity a staff member will be required to acknowledge in writing their understanding of the activity they will be overseeing, the salary they will be paid, the minimum number of hours the activity will require, and that a quality assessment (administrative and student) of the activity will be performed upon its completion.
