Common use of Notification and Appeal Procedures Clause in Contracts

Notification and Appeal Procedures. 2.1 If a reduction in force is being considered, the District shall tender a list via e-mail to the Association and each employee, not later than the first teaching day of May, which shows rank order of existing employees according to seniority as defined below. The list shall show existing employee certificated endorsements held at the time the list is developed. If an employee believes they have additional endorsements or have not been credited with the proper amount of seniority, the employee must notify the Superintendent in writing (by letter or email) within five (5) workdays of the final list being sent. Such written notification must allege the facts which make the employee’s seniority or endorsement incorrect. Failure to make such timely notification shall waive an employee’s right to later challenge the inappropriateness of the employee’s seniority ranking or endorsements. If such notification is given, the facts shall be reviewed by the Association and the District in an effort to resolve the matter. Upon failure to resolve the matter within five (5) workdays after such written notice, the Association and the District shall make a joint request to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for a member of his/her staff to act as arbitrator. If SPI declines to provide this service, the parties shall attempt to mutually agree on an arbitrator.
