Procedural Steps. The time limits provided in this Article shall be strictly observed, but may be extended by written agreement of both parties. Any alleged grievance shall be presented within ten (10) working days of the time in which the teacher had knowledge of or should have had knowledge of the event giving rise to the grievance. The following procedures will be used to process a grievance if such a grievance is not resolved following an informal meeting between the immediate supervisor or his/her designee and the grievant, either alone or at his prerogative, accompanied by a representative of the Association. STEP ONE: The grievant shall submit a complete Grievance Form, obtained from the Association or the building principal, within (5) working days after the informal meeting to the building principal and a copy to the Association if the grievant so desires. This form shall be complete and specifically set forth the nature of the grievance and relief being sought. The building principal will thereafter meet with the grievant, either alone or at his prerogative, accompanied by the Association representative, in an effort to resolve the grievance and will render his/her disposition of the grievance within five (5) working days by completing the Grievance Form and returning it to the grievant. If the grievant does not proceed to Step Two within five (5) working days after the principal has rendered his opinion, the grievance shall be considered resolved.
