Failure to Adhere to Timelines. Failure on the part of the District to respond within the time limit specified for any given step shall be considered equivalent to a negative response upon the last day allowed for a response. The grievant shall thus be free to proceed to the next step within the time limits allowed for that step. Failure of the grievant to meet the initial filing timeline or to file an appeal at any level within the timelines prescribed in this article shall result in a withdrawal of the grievance, and the District shall have no duty to process the grievance further.
