A. Definitions

B. Procedure

Filing a Grievance

A grievance may be filed by an individual member, a group of members or by the Association, as the representative of a group or class whose individual signatures shall not be necessary. Any grievance must be lodged at the proper initiating level within thirty (30) working days from the allegedly improper application, interpretation, or violation.

Failure to Communicate a Decision

Failure at any step to communicate the decision on a grievance within the specified time limitation shall permit the aggrieved to proceed to the next step. Failure to appeal within the specified time limitations from an answer which is unsatisfactory shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such response as dispositive.

Informal Attempt to Resolve

An individual Administrator who has a grievance shall discuss it first with his immediate supervisor in an attempt to resolve the matter informally. However, if the grievant is the Association, the initial discussion shall be at the level of the Board of Education; and, in such event, if the problem is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Association within ten (10) working days after the conclusion of the discussion, the procedures prescribed in the subsections of this section B shall become applicable.

Level One – Immediate Superior

If, as a result of the discussion, the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the grievant within five (5) working days, he shall set forth the grievance in writing to the immediate superior specifying:

the nature of the grievance, including the specific section of the contract involved;

the nature and extent of the injury, loss or inconvenience;

the result of the previous discussion;

the dissatisfaction with decisions previously rendered;

the relief sought.

The immediate superior shall communicate a decision to the grievant(s) in writing within three (3) working days of the receipt of the written grievance.

Level Two – Superintendent of Schools

The grievant, no later than five (5) working days after receipt of the immediate superior‘s decision, may appeal this decision to the Superintendent of Schools. The appeal to the Superintendent must be made in writing reciting the matter submitted to the immediate superior as specified above and the dissatisfaction with the decisions previously rendered. The Superintendent shall attempt to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, but within a period not to exceed ten (10) working days. The Superintendent shall communicate a decision in writing to the grievant and the immediate superior.

Level Three – Board of Education

If the grievance is not resolved to the grievant’s satisfaction, no later than five (5) working days after the receipt of the Superintendent’s decision, the grievant may request a review by the Board of Education. The request shall be submitted in writing through the Superintendent, who shall attach all related papers and forward the request to the Board of Education. The Board, or a committee thereof, shall review the grievance and shall at the option of the Board, hold a hearing with the grievant and render a decision in writing within thirty-five (35) calendar days of receipt of the grievance by the Board.

Level Four – Arbitration

If the decision of the Board does not resolve the grievance to the satisfaction of the grievant and the Association chooses to proceed, notice of intention to proceed to arbitration shall be given to the Board by the Association through the Superintendent within ten (10) working days after the receipt of the decision which is being appealed.

The grievance shall then be subject to arbitration initiated and conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

The Arbitrator shall limit himself to the issues submitted to him and shall consider nothing else. He can add nothing to, nor subtract anything from, the agreement between parties or any policy of the Board of Education. The opinion and award shall be final and binding. Only the Board, the aggrieved, and appropriate officials of the Association shall be given copies of the Arbitrator’s Opinion and Award. This shall be accomplished within thirty (30) calendar days of the completion of the Arbitrator’s hearings.

Right to Representation

Rights of Administrators to representation shall be as follows:

Grievants may be represented at all stages of the grievance by their representative(s)and/or an attorney selected and approved by the Association.

When a grievant is not represented by the Association in the processing of a grievance, the Association shall at the time of submission of the grievance to the Superintendent or any level, be notified that the grievance is in process, and have the right to be present and present its position in writing at all hearing sessions held concerning the grievance, and shall receive a copy of all decisions rendered.

The Board and the Association shall assure the individual freedom from restraint, interference, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal in presenting an appeal with respect to a personal grievance.

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 kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.

10.

Meetings and Hearings

No meeting or hearing conducted under this procedure shall be public. The only parties in attendance shall be the parties in interest and their designated or selected representatives.

C. Costs

Each party will bear the total cost incurred by themselves.

The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator are the only costs which will be shared by the two parties and such costs will be shared equally.
