Rights of the Grievant. 1) A grievant may appear on his or her own behalf or may be represented at any and all steps by a representative of his/her own choosing. 2) The fact that an employee files a grievance shall not be recorded in his or her personnel file nor used in the transfer, assignment, promotion process, or reemployment process. No retributions of any kind shall be exercised against anyone for having filed a grievance. 3) If a grievance appears to arise from the actions of an authority higher than the principal of a school and affects a group or class of teachers, it may be submitted at Step II described below. The purpose of these procedures is to secure, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to grievances. All parties agree that proceedings shall be kept confidential.
