GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

A. Definition of “Grievance”
        A “grievance” is a claim by a teacher or the Association based upon the interpretation, application, or violation of his/her Agreement, policies or administrative decision affecting a teacher or a group of teachers.
B. Procedure
    1. Level One – Principal

    a. A teacher with a grievance shall present such grievance in writing to the Chief School Administrator within twenty (20) school days of the event giving rise to the grievance. Nothing herein precludes the grieving teacher from discussing the issue informally prior to the expiration of the twenty (20) school day limitation. If the grievant chooses, he/she may be accompanied by an Association representative.

    b. The Chief School Administrator shall respond in writing to the written grievance within five (5) school days after receiving the written grievance.

    2. Level Two – Board of Education
            If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his/her grievance at Level One or no decision has been rendered within five (5) school days, the grievant may appeal the issue to the Board of Education. The Board shall respond in writing within ten (10) school days of reception of the grievance.
    3. Level Three – Arbitration
      a. If the Association is not satisfied with the response of the Board of Education, then the Association may within five (5) school days of the Board’s response, or fifteen (15) calendar days of the Board’s having initially received the grievance, submit the grievance to an arbitrator selected from a list provided by P.E.R.C. The arbitrator’s decision in the matter shall be accepted as binding by both parties.

      b. The costs for the services of the arbitrator, including per diem expenses and travel, shall be equally shared by the Board and the Association. Any other expenses incurred shall be borne by the party incurring same.

      C. Rights of Teachers to Representation

      1. Teacher and Association

              Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself/herself, or, at his/her option, by a representative selected or approved by the Association. When a teacher 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. Reprisals
              No reprisals of any kind shall be taken by the Board or by any member of the administration against any party in interest, any representative, any
            member of the Association, or any other participant in the grievance procedure by reason of such participation.


      D. Miscellaneous
            Meetings and Hearings
      1. 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.

      2. If an appeal(s) is not made by the Association in timely fashion at each step, a grievance shall be considered withdrawn.

      3. If a timely response is not made by the Administration or the Board of Education, then the grievant may appeal to the next step of the procedure.

      4. Nothing herein precludes the Board of Education from providing a hearing to the aggrieved prior to rendering its decision.

                                        TEACHER RIGHTS

                                        A. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to deny or restrict to any teacher such rights as he/she may have under New Jersey Laws or other applicable laws and regulations. The rights granted to teachers hereunder shall be deemed to be in addition to those provided elsewhere.
                                          B. Whenever any teacher is required to appear before any administrator or supervisor, Board, or any committee, member, representative, or agent thereof concerning any matter which could adversely affect the continuation of that teacher in his/her office, position, or employment or the salary or any increments pertaining thereto, except during the evaluation interviews, then he/she shall be given prior written notice of the reasons for such meeting or interview and shall be entitled to have representative(s) of the Association present to advise him/her and represent him/her during such meeting or interview.

                                          C. No employee shall be disciplined or reprimanded without just cause. The Board retains the right to discipline or discharge an employee during the term of his/her employment contract pursuant to law. Discipline may include oral and/or written reprimands, increment withholdings, fines or suspensions without pay if consistent with law, and mid-contract discharges consistent with the law, but shall not include the non-renewal of a non-tenured teacher for performance related reasons. All disciplinary acts shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Any discipline to be imposed shall take into account the nature of the offense, the length of service and general employment record of the employee, the number of previous offenses, any other mitigating circumstances, and previous discipline administered to others in similar situations. Discipline shall be applied in a non-discriminatory fashion. No teacher will be disciplined, reprimanded in writing, or fined without just cause.

                                            B. A teacher shall be given a copy of any class visit or evaluation report prepared by his/her evaluators at least one (1) day before any conference to discuss it. No such report shall be placed in the teacher’s file or otherwise acted upon without prior knowledge of the teacher. No teacher shall be required to sign a blank or incomplete evaluation form.

                                              B. These benefits shall be paid by the District, provided the State of New Jersey does not pay a benefit for unused sick leave to a teacher.
                                                C. Payment shall be made subsequent to July 1, but prior to July 30, of the school year following the year during which the employee retires.
