APPR Appeals Process Sample Clauses

APPR Appeals Process. 9.7.1 Probationary teachers may submit a written rebuttal that will be attached to the APPR in the member’s personnel file. Probationary teachers may not appeal the APPR. A teacher improvement plan is not required for probationary teachers as such purpose is fulfilled by the APPR process. 9.7.2 Tenured teachers may only appeal the substance and rating, the adherence to the standards and methodologies required for such review, adherence to Commissioner’s regulations, issuance and/or implementation of the terms of an improvement plan in connection with “Ineffective” and “Developing” determinations. The appeal must be submitted in writing to the APPR/PAR panel (“Appeals Panel”) (or any future similarly configured panel/committee) within ten school days of the issuance of the APPR or implementation of a Teacher Improvement Plan (“TIP”) and shall set forth the basis of the appeal. Tenured teachers may submit written rebuttals of determinations of “Effective” and “Highly Effective” if desired, but may not appeal such ratings. 9.7.3 The Appeals Panel shall consist of four members appointed by District and four members appointed by APSTA. The Appeals Panel may modify the TIP, set aside the rating, uphold the rating and/or call for a new review conducted by an administrator (PAR trained or later agreed upon training) (not the original evaluator) and a consulting (PAR trained or later agreed upon training) teacher. In the event there is no majority opinion of the Appeals Panel, the APPR will be redone with an administrator (PAR trained or later agreed upon training) (not the original evaluator) and consulting (PAR trained or later agreed upon training) teacher conducting a joint APPR. Any new review will be completed within 30 days. The teacher may rebut this joint review in writing, but may not appeal the substance of the joint review. 9.7.4 The determination of the appeal pursuant to the above process is final and binding. It is not subject to any further appeal pursuant to the grievance procedure and is not subject to any appeal to the Commissioner of Education or courts. However, failure of either the District or Association to abide by the above agreed upon process is subject to the grievance procedure.

We encourage you to discuss any concerns or issues you may have about any aspect of your medical treatment with the healthcare provider that furnished the care. In most cases, issues can be more easily resolved if they are raised when they occur. However, if you remain dissatisfied or prefer not to take up the issue with your provider, you can call our Customer Service Department for further assistance. You may also call our Customer Service Department if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our operation.

  • Claims Process We intend to appoint the senior trustee as the authorized representative to take action on behalf of holders of each series of the notes under the guarantee. The authorized representative will agree to make a demand of the FDIC upon our failure to pay interest or principal on any series of the notes when due. As provided in the FDIC’s regulations, a holder will also have the option to elect not to be represented by the authorized representative. Upon our failure to pay interest or principal, the authorized representative and a holder that has elected not to be so represented must follow the FDIC’s required procedures for making a demand under the guarantee. In addition to the procedures described below, the authorized representative will be required when making a demand, to the extent not previously provided in the master agreement, to provide the FDIC with information regarding its authority, including: its financial and organizational capacity to act as representative, its exclusive authority to act on behalf of each noteholder and its fiduciary responsibility to the noteholders when acting as such, as established by the senior indenture, and its authority to make the assignment of each noteholder’s right, title, and interest in the notes to the FDIC. Any demand under the guarantee must be accompanied by a proof of claim, satisfactory in form and content to the FDIC, which includes evidence of the occurrence of a payment default and the claimant’s ownership of the applicable notes. The claimant must provide to the FDIC an assignment, satisfactory in form and content to the FDIC, of the noteholder’s right, title and interest in the notes to the FDIC and the transfer to the FDIC of any claim in any insolvency proceeding against us. The assignment must also grant to the FDIC the right to receive any and all distributions on the note from the proceeds of any bankruptcy. If a holder receives a payment on a note from a bankruptcy, any obligation of the FDIC under the guarantee would be reduced proportionally. Demands must be made by the authorized representative or by a holder that elects not to be represented by the authorized representative within 60 days of the occurrence of the payment default. Upon payment by the FDIC of any amount under the guarantee, the FDIC will be subrogated to the rights of the recipient noteholder against us, including in respect of any insolvency proceeding, to the extent of such payment.
