Informal Track Sample Clauses

Informal Track. The purpose of this level shall be to quickly resolve the specific allegation(s), issue(s), or problems(s) as framed by the grievant at the site or lowest possible level. The grievant and principal or unit administrator should meet to attempt to resolve the grievance prior to the filing of a grievance. The Federation may be included as grievance representative. These parties are encouraged to work out a solution that is consistent with this agreement. However, nothing shall preclude the filing of a formal written grievance prior to, or during, this informal process. a. The intent of the meeting is to focus on a solution. The parties shall attempt to define the issue, discuss interests, explore options, and if possible, agree to an outcome. Upon request, the solution, if any, will be reduced to writing. b. Solutions that require implementation beyond the school site or unit level shall first be reviewed for implementation by the appropriate district-level administrator. If the grievance can only be remedied by the office of the superintendent, then a grievance may begin with an informal district level grievance. If the informal district level grievance is not resolved, a formal district level grievance may be presented directly to the office of the superintendent. Solutions that do not require review and are accepted will be implemented by the principal or unit administrator. If the problem is not resolved informally, the matter will be referred to the Federation Executive Board by the grievance officers who may choose to file a formal grievance. If filed, the grievant must submit the grievance to the principal or unit administrator on grievance forms within twenty (20) working days of the event giving rise to the grievance.
