Material originating after the hiring of a teacher that is derogatory to her/his conduct, service, or character shall not be placed in her/his file until the teacher is given the opportunity to review it. 2. A teacher shall sign such material, indicating she/he has reviewed it. The signature in no way implies endorsement of the contents therein. 3. A teacher shall have the right to submit a written response and have it attached to the original. 4. Although a letter of warning for illustrative purposes may allude to past incidents for which no reprimand was forthcoming, the specific incident which generated the letter of warning must have occurred no more than sixty (60) days before the date of the subject letter. Any consequent disciplinary action cannot be based on any undocumented events. 5. The inclusion of any adverse material in the teacher's personnel file shall be subject to challenge by the teacher.
