These proceedings will be kept informal and confidential at all levels of the procedure.

Grievances shall be initiated no later than fifteen (15) working days following the incident which causes the aggrieved to commence the grievance procedure. Since it is important that a grievance be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement. It is advisable that prior to going to the first level of the grievance procedure that the teacher and the immediate supervisor meet in order to attempt to reconcile the problem. There will be no outside representation or records, but rather an informal discussion of the grievance. If the grievance is not resolved, then the principals involved will proceed to formal grievance procedures.
