ARTICLE III - Grievance Procedure

1. Definition

      A grievance is a claim by an employee or the Association based upon the interpretation, application, or violation of this agreement.

2. Purpose
      The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the problem or problems, which may from time to time arise affecting employees. Both parties agree that these procedures will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.

3. Time Limits
      The number of days indicated at each level should be considered, as flexible within reason and every effort should be made to expedite the process.

      Failure to file a grievance within thirty (30) days of the occurrence complained of shall be deemed to constitute an abandonment of the grievance.
Level One
      An employee with a grievance shall first discuss it with his immediate superior - in most cases the employee designated as the Director of Facilities. This can be done either directly or through the Association's representative, with the objective of resolving the matter informally.

Level Two
      If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at level one, he may put his grievance in writing and it should be presented to the Business Administrator who should respond within five (5) school days after receiving the written grievance.

Level Three
      In the event the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition at level two, said grievance may be submitted to the Superintendent of Schools who should respond within five (5) school days after receiving the written grievance.

Level Four
      In the event the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance by the Superintendent, said person may submit the grievance to the Board of Education which will take action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and respond to the aggrieved person within five (5) school days thereafter through the Secretary to the Board of Education.

Level Five
      a. If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with disposition of his grievance at Level Four, or if no decision has been rendered by the Board within thirty (30) days after the grievance was delivered to the Board, he may request in writing the Association submit the grievance to arbitration. If the Association determines that the grievance is meritorious, it may submit the grievance to arbitration within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the request by the aggrieved person. The affected employee must abide by the majority decision of the Association and may not personally take the Board to arbitration following a rejection of his grievance by the Association.

b. The arbitration procedure shall only be used in the processing of grievances, which arise out of violation of the employee contract. Employees processing grievances involving administrative decisions shall use channels already guaranteed by Board policy up to and including a full and open hearing before the Board of Education.
      c. Within ten (10) days after such written notice of submission to arbitration, the Board and the Association shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator and shall obtain a commitment from said arbitrator to serve. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator or to obtain such a commitment within the specified period, a request for a list of arbitrators may be made to the American Arbitration Association either party. The parties shall then be bound by the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association in the selection of an arbitrator.

d. The arbitrator so selected shall confer with the representatives of the Board and the Association and hold hearings promptly and shall issue his decision not later than twenty (20) days from the date of the close of the hearings or, if oral hearings have been waived, then from the date the final statements and proofs on the issues are submitted to him. The arbitrator's decision shall be in writing and shall set forth his findings of facts, reasoning and conclusions on the issues submitted. The arbitrator shall be without power or authority to make any decision, which requires the commission of an act prohibited by law or which is violative of the terms of this agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be submitted to the Board and the Association and shall be final and binding on all parties.
      e. The costs for the services of the arbitrator, including per diem expenses, if any, and actual and necessary travel, subsistence expenses and the costs of the hearing room shall be borne equally by the Board and the Association. Any other expenses incurred shall be paid by the party incurring same.

4. Rights to Representation
      Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself, or at his option, a representative of the local association.

5. Group Grievance
      If, in the judgment of the Association, a grievance affects a group or class of employees, the Association may submit such grievance in writing directly to the Business Administrator, and the processing of such grievance shall be commenced at level two.

6. Separate Grievance File
      All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed in a separate grievance file and shall not be in a personal file of the participant.

7. Meetings and Hearings
