GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the
problems, which may arise from violations of articles or sections of this Agreement. It is agreed
that these proceedings will be kept formal and confidential as may be appropriate to any level of
the procedure.
Nothing in this article shall be interpreted as limiting the right of any employee having a grievance

adjustment of a written grievance shall be conducted with the full knowledge of the Frankford
Township Education Association, if the aggrieved person so desires.
B. Definitions

policies, agreements, and administrative decisions affecting them.
2. An “aggrieved person” is the person or persons making the claim.
3. A “party of interest” is the person or persons making the claim and any person who might
be required to take action or against whom action might be taken in order to resolve to
claim.
C. Procedures
1. Since it is desirable to all parties that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the
number of days indicated should be considered as a maximum and every effort made to
expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be changed by mutual
agreement.
2. Level One
a. Any employee who has a grievance shall discuss it first with the Superintendent in an

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 to the President of the
Association, all relevant parties, and the Superintendent of Schools.
4. Level Three

it may be submitted for binding arbitration to a third party. If the parties are unable to
agree upon an arbitrator, a request for a list of arbitrators may be made to the American
Arbitration Association. Both the Board and the Association are bound by the arbitrator’s
recommendations in settlement of a grievance. Any costs involved for the arbitrator shall
be borne equally by both the Association and the Board of Education.
5. Miscellaneous

group or class of employees, it may submit such grievance in writing to the
Superintendent directly.
b. All decisions rendered beyond Level Two which are unsatisfactory to the aggrieved
party, shall be presented in writing setting forth the decisions and reasons for these
decisions. These written decisions shall be transmitted promptly to all parties in
interest as well as the president of the Association.

of a grievance shall be kept in a file other than the personnel file of the participants
involved in the procedure.

and recommendations, and other necessary documents shall be prepared jointly by
the Superintendent and the Association and made available to any person or
persons wishing to make use of the grievance machinery.

and thorough manner.
