A. This Agreement shall be in effect from July 1, 2006 through June 30,

ARTICLE IV
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE |
A. Definitions
1. A "grievance" is a claim based upon an event or condition which affects the welfare or terms and conditions of employment of an employee or group of employees or the interpretations, meaning or application of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
2. An "aggrieved person" is a person or persons making the claim.
3. A "party in 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
1. 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 affecting the terms and conditions of employment of employees. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.
2. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting the right of any employee having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with any appropriate member of the Administration, and having the grievance adjusted without intervention of the Association, provided theadjustment is not inconsistent with terms of this Agreement and that the Association has been given the opportunity to be present at such adjustment to state its views.
C. Procedure
1. If an employee or employees believe that this contract has been violated by the Board of Education, and/or Administration, and believe that said alleged contract violation has been prejudicial to the terms and conditions of that employee's/employees' employment, that employee/employees may, no later than thirty (30) school days after the date of knowledge of the alleged violation, but in no case later than ninety (90) days from the date of the alleged violation, file a grievance in writing with the Administration for action under Level One as hereinafter described. Said written grievance shall state which section/sections of the contract have allegedly been violated, briefly set forth the alleged facts surrounding the alleged contract violation, and set forth the remedy being sought.
2. Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement. Such extensions in time limits shall be made in writing.
3. a) 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 it is practicable.
b) The employee does not have the right to refuse to follow Administrative directive or Board Policy on the grounds that he has instituted a grievance. All employees, including the grievant or group of grievant, are required to continue under the direction of the Administration, regardless of the pendency of any grievance, until such grievance is properly determined.
4. Level One - Principal/Immediate Supervisor
An employee with a grievance shall first discuss it with his Principal either directly or through the Association's designated representative, with the objective of resolving the matter informally.
5. Level Two - Superintendent
If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance at Level One, or if no decision has been rendered within five (5) school days after presentation of the grievance, he may file the grievance in writing with the Association within five (5) school days after the decision at Level One or ten (10) school days after the grievance was presented, whichever is sooner. Within five (5) school days after receiving the written grievance, the Association shall refer it to the Superintendent.
6. Level Three - Board of Education
a) If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance at Level Two or if no decision has been rendered within three (3) days after the grievance was delivered to the Superintendent, he may, within eight (8) school days after a decision by the Superintendent or twelve (12) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Superintendent (whichever is sooner), request in writing that the Association submit his grievance to the Board.
b) The Association shall then refer it to the Board.
7. Level Four - Advisory Arbitration
a) If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance at Level Three or if no decision has been rendered within thirteen (13) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Board, he may within eight (8) school days after decision by the Board or fifteen (15) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Board (whichever is sooner), request in writing that the Association invoke the services of the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission for the purpose of arbitration. If the Association determines that the grievance is meritorious, it may submit the grievance to the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission as aforesaid within fifteen (15) school days after receipt of said request by the aggrieved person.
b) Within ten (10) school 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 Public Employment Relations Commission by either party. The parties shall then be bound by the rules and procedures of the Public Employment Relations Commission in the selection of the arbitrator.
c) 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 of the issues are submitted to him. The arbitrator's decision shall be in writing and shall set forth his findings of fact, reasoning and conclusions on the issues submitted to him. 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. This decision is advisory in nature and not binding on either the Board or the Association.
d) The costs for the services of the arbitrator, including per diem expenses, if any, and actual and necessary travel, subsistence expenses and the cost 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.
D. Rights of Employees to Representation
1. An aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself, by counsel of his own selection, or at his option, by a representative selected or approved by the Association. When an employee is not represented by the Association, the Association shall have the right to be present and to state its views at all stages of the grievance procedure.
2. No reprisals of any kind shall be taken by the Board or by any member of the Administration against any aggrieved person, any building representative, or any other participant in the grievance procedure by reason of such participation.
E. Miscellaneous
1. If, in the judgment of the Association, a grievance affects a group or class of employees, the Association may submit such grievance in writing to the Superintendent directly and the processing of such grievance shall be commenced at Level Two.
The Association may process such a grievance through all levels of the grievance procedure even though the aggrieved person does not wish to do so.
2. Decisions rendered at Level One which are unsatisfactory to the aggrieved person and all decisions rendered at Level Two, Three or Four of the grievance procedure shall be in writing setting forth the decision and reasons therefore and shall be transmitted promptly to all parties in interest and to the Association. Decisions rendered at Level Four shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section C, paragraph 7c) of this Article.
3. 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.
4. Forms for filing grievances, serving notices, taking appeals, making reports and recommendations, and other necessary documents shall be prepared jointly by the Administration and the Association and given appropriate distributions so as to facilitate operation of the grievance procedure.
5. All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall not be conducted in public and shall include only such parties in interest and their designated or selected representatives, heretofore referred to in this Article.

Whenever any employee is required to appear before the Principal or his designee, Board, or any committee, member representative or agent thereof concerning any matter excluding Evaluations, which could adversely affect the continuation of that employee in his office, position or employment, or the salary or any increments pertaining thereto, then he shall be given prior written notice of the reasons for such meeting or interview and shall be entitled to have a representative of the Association present to advise him and represent him during such meeting or interview.

I. 1. Classroom teachers shall, in addition to their lunch period, be guaranteed a minimum of 200 minutes preparation time each week for a regular five (5) day school week, with at least one period per day to be so scheduled.

Teachers will not be assigned any other duties during these preparation times except in cases where the Administration deems it necessary on an emergency basis.

I. 2. In the event that a teacher’s duty-free lunch is reduced to less than the time which he or she received in the 2005-2006 school year, the amount of preparation time granted to that teacher per week shall be proportionally increased.
