COMMUNICATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Both parties agree to open communication. It is preferable to resolve differences, both personnel and programmatic, at the lowest possible level. If conflicts arise, then resolution of differences will be approached cooperatively between GPSD and SOHS immediately upon recognition of the dispute. GPSD and SOHS personnel will meet to discuss the difference. If no resolution is reached, the situation will be negotiated in a meeting with the appointed GPSD representative and the Operations Director. If no resolution is reached, the GPSD representative will meet with the Head Start Director or Early Head Start Director. Any disputes that cannot be resolved through communication shall be resolved by a single arbitrator under the rules of the Arbitration Service of Portland, at a hearing to be held at the school district office in Grants Pass, Oregon. The parties shall bear equally the cost of any arbitration.
