Exhausting Remedies. The Association will make every reasonable effort to encourage employees to exhaust this grievance procedure before commencing any proceeding in any state or federal court or administrative agency when charging the Board and/or Administration with an act which reasonably could also be claimed to be a violation of this Agreement. In the event a member and/or the Association commences a proceeding in any state or federal court or administrative agency against the Board and/or Administration, such remedy shall be exclusive and the member and/or the Association shall be barred from any remedy of the grievance procedure. Any grievance previously filed shall be considered withdrawn permanently upon the commencement of such a proceeding.
