Background: Due to the adoption of Wisconsin Act 10, the grievance procedure's structure and requirements were revised in May 2014. The revisions were further codified with the March 2016 reinstatement of Board Rule Appendix A, Procedures for Employee Appellate Hearings, and with the June 2017 revisions to the Employee Handbook. In an effort to align the Employee Handbook with district rules and policies, the Administration recommends revising Administrative Policy 6.30, Suspension and Dismissal: Staff.

The revised grievance procedure would give non-probationary employees fifteen (15) business days in which to file a grievance, instead of the five (5) work days previously given. In addition, reference to the Office of Human Capital has been updated to reflect the new department name, Office of Human Resources.

The Administration further recommends that Administrative Procedure 6.30, Suspension and Dismissal: Staff – Hearing Procedures, be rescinded, as it no longer reflects current practice.
Fiscal Impact Statement: No fiscal impact.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Upon approval by the Board, the Office of Board Governance will make and publish any necessary revisions.
Recommendation: Your Committee recommends that the Board approve the proposed revisions to Administrative Policy 6.30, Suspension and Dismissal: Staff, and rescind Administrative Procedure 6.30, Suspension and Dismissal: Staff – Hearing Procedures, as indicated in the attachments to this item.
