The response of a district official to a complaint is not only a legal obligation but also a reflection of the district's public image concerning programs, practices, policies, and responsiveness to both the public and district employees. The HR division of a school district handles a range of complaints, encompassing but not limited to those related to district employees, discrimination, and sexual harassment or hostile workplace situations. Join us for a comprehensive session that will delve into the proper steps for effectively processing these various complaints.

GRIEVANCES

Alleged violations of the contract are always most interesting situations.  Classified and Certificated employees alike challenge the talents of your Administrative Team when they believe their respective contracts have not been managed appropriately.  Usually the full story is somewhere in the middle of all the details you receive.  You may, or may not, ever know exactly what happened - but you do get to sort it all out!  This session addresses the importance of properly processing and responding to grievances.  These seemingly mundane challenges to management actions can ultimately lead to costly litigation in the form of binding arbitration if not properly handled.
