Common use of Exceptions to Time Limits Clause in Contracts

Exceptions to Time Limits. a. The time limits provided in this Article shall be strictly observed unless extended by written agreement of the parties or for good cause. If the grievant misses a deadline during the processing of a grievance without written agreement by both parties, the grievance shall be automatically dropped. b. In the event a grievance is filed that cannot be processed before the end of the school term, and that if left unresolved until the beginning of the following school year could result in irreparable harm to a party of interest, the parties agree to make a good faith effort to reduce the time limits set forth herein so that the grievance procedure shall be exhausted prior to the end of the school term or as soon thereafter as practicable. c. In the event a grievance is filed so that sufficient times stipulated under all levels of the procedure cannot be provided before the last day of the school year, and should it be necessary to pursue the grievance to all levels of the appeals, the parties may agree to continue the grievance into the summer months. If the parties cannot agree to such continuation then said grievance shall be resolved in the new school term in September under the terms of the Agreement and grievance procedure in effect at the time the grievance was filed and not under the succeeding Agreement procedure. d. Grievances filed during the vacation periods will have time limits which begin the first day school resumes. This does not preclude the ability of all parties to resolve the grievance during the vacation period if accomplished by mutual agreement. The grievance will be resolved according to the Agreement and grievance procedure in effect at the time the alleged grievance occurred.
