Complaints Against Teachers Communication between the Community and the School ideally should be such that most complaints may be resolved through personal conferences at the School level. Various avenues of contact between teacher, pupil, parent, principal and other appropriate staff personnel should be pursued before using the formal procedures outlined below. The following process shall not be used when allegations involve legal or criminal violations or allegations of misconduct towards a student, such as abuse or discrimination. Such allegations shall be investigated in accordance with board policy and in conjunction with the authorities, consistent with principles of due process.
1. The Complainant shall be given a copy of this Part II, Section J and be told that there are contractual requirements for the District to follow.
2. If such conferences do not lead to understanding and resolution of problems involved, a parent may pursue further action by submitting a complaint against a teacher, which must be submitted in writing to the principal of the school. The principal shall give a copy to the teacher. Likewise, the teacher may request in writing to the principal that such a written complaint must be filed or the matter shall be considered closed. The principal shall give a copy to the parent.
3. After a written complaint is filed, if requested by the complainant or the teacher, a meeting involving the teacher, the principal, and the complainant will be arranged as soon as possible to discuss the complaint.
4. If it is not resolved at that level to the satisfaction of the Complainant, the Complainant may appeal to the Superintendent.
5. If it is still unresolved to the satisfaction of the Complainant, the Complainant may appeal to the Board of Education.

Protection Against Loss of Future District Revenues Section 4.1. INTENT OF THE PARTIES. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement (including Section 7.1), it is the intent of the Parties that the District shall, in accordance with the provisions of TEXAS TAX CODE § 313.027(f)(1), be compensated by the Applicant for any loss that the District incurs in its Maintenance and Operations Revenue as a result of, or on account of, the Parties’ entering into this Agreement. Such compensation shall be independent of, and in addition to, all such other payments as are set forth in Article V and Article VI. Subject only to the limitations contained in this Agreement (including Section 7.1), it is the intent of the Parties that the risk of any negative financial consequence to the District as a result of Applicant’s location of Applicant’s Qualified Investment and Applicant’s Qualified Property in the District and the Parties’ entering into this Agreement will be borne by the Applicant and not by the District and be paid by the Applicant to the District in addition to any and all payments due under Article V and Article VI. The Parties expressly understand and agree that, for all Tax Years to which this Agreement may apply, the calculation of negative financial consequences will be defined for each applicable Tax Year in accordance with Applicable School Finance Law, as defined in Section 1.2 above, and that such definition specifically contemplates that calculations made under this Agreement may periodically change in accordance with changes in Applicable School Finance Law. The Parties further agree that printouts and projections produced during the negotiations and approval of this Agreement are: (i) for illustrative purposes only, are not intended to be relied upon, and have not been relied upon by the Parties as a prediction of future consequences to either Party; (ii) based upon current Applicable School Finance Law which is subject to change by statute, by administrative regulation (or interpretation thereof), or by judicial decision at any time; and (iii) may change in future years to reflect changes in Applicable School Finance Law.

COVENANT AGAINST LIENS Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.
Covenant Against Competition During the period of Participant’s employment and for two (2) years after his or her Last Day of Employment, Participant acknowledges and agrees he or she will not, directly or indirectly, establish or engage in any business or organization, or own or control any interest in, be employed by, or act as an officer, director, consultant, advisor, or lender to, any of the following located in those geographic markets where Participant has had direct and substantial involvement in Company’s operations in such geographic markets: (a) any entity that engages in any business competitive with the business activities of Company including, without limitation, its assisted and digital (including software) tax services businesses (“Prohibited Companies”); (b) any financial institution or business where any of Participant’s duties or activities would relate to or assist in providing services or products to one or more of the Prohibited Companies for use in connection with products, services or assistance being provided to customers; or (c) any financial institution or business whose primary purpose is to provide services or products to one or more of the Prohibited Companies for use in connection with products, services or assistance being provided to customers. Without limiting clause (c), any financial institution or business whose profits or revenues from the provision of services or products to the Prohibited Companies exceeds 25% of total profits or revenues, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be covered by clause (c). For Participants whose primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in Puerto Rico or Arizona, the restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall be limited to one (1) year following Participant’s Last Day of Employment. The restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall not apply if Participant’s primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in California or North Dakota; provided, however, to the extent permitted under such states’ laws, Company nevertheless retains all rights and remedies set forth in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 in lieu of enforcing the restrictive covenant set forth in this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant has a standalone employment agreement with Company and such employment agreement includes covenants against competition or non-solicitation of customers, the scope, but not the duration, of such covenants shall apply solely for purposes of Sections 2.2 and 2.4, but shall have no other effect on this Award Agreement. All other covenants contained in this Section 2 shall apply to Participant notwithstanding any covenants or other terms contained in any other agreement.
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN In accordance with RCW 28A.400.330, employees, agents, and contractors of the NWESD and District are prohibited from working at a public school if they have or may have contact with children at a public school during the course of their employment and have pleaded guilty to or been convicted of the crimes identified in RCW 28A.400.322. Any failure to comply with this section shall be grounds for the District immediately terminating the contract.
Prohibition Against Recording Except as provided in Section 29.4 of this Lease, neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant.
Violence Against Women The parties hereby recognize and share the concern that women uniquely face situations of violence or abuse in their personal lives that may affect their attendance or performance at work. A woman who is in an abusive or violent personal or domestic situation will not be subjected to discipline without giving full consideration to the facts in the case of each individual and the circumstances surrounding the incident otherwise supportive of discipline. This statement of intent is subject to a standard of good faith on the part of the Employer, the Union and the affected employees and will not be utilized by the Union or the employees to subvert the application of otherwise appropriate disciplinary measures.
