The immediate supervisor shall respond to the grievance orally or in writing within five (5) days of the discussion.

Formal Level
Procedure Informal Level. Before filing a formal written grievance at Level I, and within thirty (30) days of when the unit member knew of the occurrence or omission giving rise to the grievance, the unit member shall attempt to resolve the dispute through informal conferences with his/her immediate supervisor, or with the superintendent if the matter does not concern the immediate supervisor. Both the administrator and the employee will make every effort to resolve the dispute quickly at the informal level, and multiple informal conferences may be requested and held. Within fifteen (15) days of each informal conference, one of the parties must request a subsequent conference; otherwise, the dispute shall be considered resolved. However, if a grievance is on-going in nature (e.g. an unresolved pay dispute, a continuing working condition or an hours dispute) or if there is a time lapse between the act or omission giving rise to the grievance and the employee's or Association's awareness of it, then more informal conferences may be scheduled. If either party is not satisfied with the progress or resolution of the dispute during the informal level, after at least one meeting has been held, he/she/they may request written Termination of Informal Level Discussions (page 1 of "Grievance Report Form"). Once this form is signed, the grievant has 15 days to File a Formal Grievance (pages 2 and 3 or page 4 of the "Grievance Report Form") or the matter shall be considered resolved. From this point forward, the "Grievance Report Form" and its disposition at each level shall, constitute a written record of the grievance and its progress towards resolution. Copies of the "Grievance Report Form" shall be distributed to the District, the Association and the grievant at each step of the grievance process. Appendix B.
