Disciplinary Grievance Hearing Procedures Sample Clauses

Disciplinary Grievance Hearing Procedures. After the District has taken formal disciplinary action against an employee, and upon request of the Union representing the employee, the District shall furnish the Union with a copy of any written statements taken of students relating to the matter. The District shall not be permitted to have a student witness testify at an arbitration hearing unless the Union has been provided a reasonable opportunity to interview the witness at a time reasonably prior to the date of the hearing. The District shall give UTLA written notice of its intention to call the witness, and assist in making arrangements for the interview so that the interview can take place in coordination with (not necessarily jointly with) the District interview. If the interview is not done jointly, the Union's interview shall be in the presence of a non-involved person acceptable to both the Union and District, who would be authorized to control or terminate the interview in the event of improper conduct of the interviewer. The third person would not be expected to testify except as to issues relating to the improper conduct of the interviewer.
