Personnel File and Records. 1. A teacher's personnel file consists of site and District records relating to employment, assignment, amounts and dates of service rendered, evaluation, performance termination or dismissal of a teacher in any position, sick leave records, rate of compensation, salaries or wages paid, deductions or withholdings made and the person or agency to whom such amounts were paid. 2. A teacher shall have the right to review the contents of all records accumulated in his/her file after initial employment and have a representative of the Association accompany that person in such a review. Selected copies may be obtained at the teacher's expense by either the teacher or the designated representative with written permission from the teacher. 3. Information of a derogatory nature shall not be entered or filed unless and until the teacher is given notice and an opportunity to review and comment thereon. A teacher shall have the right to enter, and have attached to any such derogatory statement, his/her own comments thereon. Such a review shall take place during normal business hours, and the teacher shall be released from duty for this purpose without salary reduction. 4. If a teacher believes the material to be placed in his/her file is inappropriate or in error, the teacher may file a grievance. 5. If the teacher grieves the derogatory document within (30) calendar days of notification as specified by the grievance procedure, the documentation is classified as a non-permanent part of the personnel file for the duration of the grievance. Such grieved material may be corrected or expunged if the grievance results in cause being shown that the material was inappropriate or in error.
