The official who makes the inquiry shall append to the material a written report of his findings. Letter(s) of reprimand, letters of complaints from any source, or other items detrimental to an employee's employment status, shall not be placed into an employee's personnel file until the employee has had an opportunity to read and/or sign the item. An employee's refusal to sign any such item does not restrict the right of the District to place these items into the appropriate personnel file. The employee's signature shall indicate only that he/she has read the item and shall not necessarily indicate agreement with its contents unless otherwise indicated.
