Board of Education. 3.1 The Union agrees that the Board of Education is the policy-making body of the District as imposed by Section 1709 of the Education Law and the rules and regulations of the Education Commissioner.
Board of Education. If the grievant is not satisfied with the disposition made by the superintendent, or if no disposition has been made within the above-stated time limits, then the grievant shall complete Grievance Report Form, Step III within seven (7) school days after receiving the disposition of the superintendent or his/her designee or after the above-stated time limits have expired, and submit the grievance to the Board by filing a copy with the President of the Board and the superintendent or, upon mutual written agreement of the Board and the Association, to arbitration before an impartial arbitrator as hereinafter provided. If the grievance is submitted to the Board, the Board at its next regularly-scheduled meeting, or subsequent meeting as agreed by the grievant, shall meet with the grievant, the Association representative, and the superintendent and/or his/her designee, to review such grievance in executive session or give such grievance the consideration as it shall deem appropriate. The disposition by the Board shall be made to the grievant by completing Grievance Report Form, Step III, within seven (7) days of the meeting. A notification of such disposition shall be furnished the grievant, the Association, and the immediate supervisor.

The Association may request items be placed on regular Board of Education meeting agenda in accordance with rules governing the conduct of the meeting. A designee of the Association may speak on any issue before the Board of Education before a vote is taken in accordance with the rules governing the conduct of the meeting.

Board of Education.

The Board of Education’s decision may not change or amend the terms, conditions, or applications of this Agreement. No decision of the Board of Education shall in any way be in derogation of the powers, duties and rights established in the Employer by constitutional provisions, statutes, or other legislative act.

Board of Education. It is recognized that the legal responsibility for education is vested in the local Board of Education, and that this responsibility of final decision-making cannot be delegated. The BOARD as employer shall not be required to bargain over matters of inherent managerial policy, which shall include such areas of direction or policy as the functions of the employer, standards of services, its overall budget, the organizational structure and selection of new employees and direction of employees. The BOARD, however, shall be required to bargain collectively with regard to policy matters directly affecting wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment as well as the impact thereon. The BOARD agrees to participate in good faith negotiations as provided herein.
Board of Education. Wherever the phrase “Board of School Trustees” is used in any document between the parties it has the same meaning as the phrase “Board of Education”.
Board of Education. If the grievant is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Step 2, or if written notice of a decision is not given within the ten (10) contract day period, the grievant may appeal the matter in writing to the Board of Education. Upon receipt of the appeal, the Board shall elect to decide the matter based upon written materials submitted by all affected parties during Step 2, the written grievance disposition, the audio recording, and the stenographic record from Step 2. The Board shall reserve the right to request additional oral testimony at such a hearing. The Board's decision on the method of hearing shall be by majority vote of the total Board membership present at the meeting where the Board makes its election. In either event, if the grievant, within five (5) contract days, appeals the grievance to Step 3, the grievant shall be notified in writing of the date and time for submission of materials for Board review. Such date shall be within twenty (20) contract days of the appeal. Within ten (10) contract days after receiving the written material, the grievant shall be notified in writing of the Board's decision and the reason for the decision. The Board's decisions on disposition of grievances shall be by majority vote of the total Board membership present at the meeting or when voting on the submission of written material submitted by the parties.
