WITNESSETH

In consideration of the following mutual covenants, it is hereby agreed as follows:
ARTICLE I

RECOGNITION

The District hereby recognizes the Association as the exclusive and sole representative for collective negotiations concerning grievances and terms and conditions of employment for Principals whether under contract, on leave, employed or to be employed by the District.
ARTICLE II

NEGOTIATIONS PROCEDURE

A. NEGOTIATION OF SUCCESSOR AGREEMENTS

The parties agree to enter into collective negotiations over a successor Agreement in accordance with Chapter 123, Public Laws 1974, in good faith effort to reach agreement on all matters concerning terms and conditions of employment. Such negotiations shall begin not later than the rules of the Public Employment Relations Commission may require. Any agreement so negotiated shall be reduced to writing, be signed by the District and the Association and be adopted by the District.

Neither party hereto shall have any control over the selection of the negotiating representatives of the other party.

The parties mutually pledge that their representatives shall be clothed with all necessary power and authority to make proposals, consider proposals and make counter proposals in the course of negotiations. The proceeding shall not, however, be construed to mean that Negotiating Team shall have the power or authority to make a final and binding commitment on behalf of their respective parties.

ARTICLE III

2. Aggrieved Person

An "aggrieved person" is the person or persons making the claim.

3. Party of Interest

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 the claim.


B. PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to secure at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the problems, which may from time to time arise effecting members of the unit. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of this procedure.

C. PROCEDURE

1. Time Limits

Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level shall be considered as a maximum and every effort shall be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement.

The parties agree, however, that any claim or grievance must be filed at the most appropriate level within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence or knowledge of said grievance.

2. Year End Grievances

In the event a grievance is filed at such time that it cannot be processed through all the steps in this grievance procedure by the end of the school year and, if left unresolved until the beginning of the following school year, could result in irreparable harm to a party in interest, the time limits set forth herein shall be reduced so that the grievance procedure may be exhausted prior to the end of the school year or as soon thereafter as is practical.

D. LEVEL I - Immediate Supervisor

A member of the unit with a grievance shall first discuss the grievance with his/her immediate supervisor either directly or through the Association's designated representative with the objective of resolving the matter informally.

E. LEVEL II - State District Superintendent of Schools or Designee

1. If the aggrieved member is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Level l, or if no decision has been rendered within five (5) school days after the presentation of the grievance, he/she may file the grievance, in writing, with the Association within five (5) school days after the decision, or ten (10) school days after the grievance was presented at Level l, whichever is sooner.

2. Within five (5) school days after receiving the written grievance, the Association shall refer it to the State District Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee.

3. The written application for a Level II hearing should include the results achieved at the previous level and the reasons for the employee's dissatisfaction with the earlier determination.

4. The State District Superintendent or Designee shall convene a hearing for the grievance within ten (10) school days of receipt of the application for a Level II hearing.

If the Association determines that the grievance is meritorious, it may submit the grievance to arbitration within fifteen (15) school days after receipt of the request.

4. The arbitrator so selected shall confer with the representatives of the District and the Association and hold hearings promptly and shall issue his/her 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 of 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 in fact, 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 volatile of the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be submitted to the District and Association and shall be binding on the parties in all issues specifically pertaining to this Agreement. It shall be advisory on all other issues not covered by this Agreement.

5.
