RIGHTS OF STAFF MEMBERS. Section A: Every staff member is endowed with the right to be free from any deprivation or coercion for purposes of restricting the enjoyment of any rights conferred by the law or Constitution of Illinois and the United States. Therefore, the Board will not discriminate against any staff member because of membership or participation in the Association or other organizations that do not subvert the principles of American Democracy. It is further recognized that any rights granted to staff members in this Agreement are in addition to those provided by statute or constitution. There will be no discrimination or stereotyping of roles in District #205 in the employment and/or promotion of teachers, administrators or any other professional personnel.
Section B: Every staff member has the right to fair and equitable treatment and accordingly shall not be acted against except for just cause. The Board agrees that discipline will be designed to improve, not merely punish, where an act or omission is deemed by the Board to be remediable under 105 ILCS 5/10-22.4. However, the Board reserves the right to take more severe disciplinary action immediately, up to and including discharge, where in the Board’s discretion, such is appropriate. Additionally, nothing herein shall be construed to diminish the Board’s statutory rights. Prior to the issuance of a notice to remedy, the staff member or the Association may submit a written statement to the Board.
Section C: Every staff member shall have the right to have all conferences which relate to transfer, demotion, suspension, or dismissal in private or, if so chosen, in the company of a counselor. If counsel is requested, then said conference shall not proceed until the chosen counselor is present, but must take place within ten (10) days of notification.
Section D: Every staff member shall have the right to examine in the presence of the person responsible for the files, the contents of the staff member’s building and the central office personnel files provided the Administration shall have the opportunity to withdraw all confidential placement credential recommendations received prior to appointment.
Section E: A staff member shall examine all material of an evaluative nature to be placed in his/her personnel file prior to its inclusion in the file. Only material of which the staff member has full knowledge at least 24 hours prior to the proceedings shall be used in any proceedings against said person.
Section F: No action...
