REVIEW OF ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS 251

Wautoma Area School District
Approved 05/10/79

A. Board Access-Administrators
1. The Board of Education will deal directly with its administrative staff through its chief executive officer. Discussions and recommendations concerning contracts, salaries, and working conditions, and other similar subjects will be between the concerned group of administrators of a delegation of that group and the District Administrator.
2. If agreement is not reached with the District Administrator, it shall be understood that the dissatisfied administrator(s) shall have the opportunity to present his/her position directly to the Board.
B. Subjects Under Consideration
With reference to the aforementioned policies and the requirement for implementing these policies, until a final decision or a recommendation is decided upon on a subject under consideration by the District Administrator and/or other executive officers making the decision, free and open discussion of the topic is anticipated. However, all those considering any such subject shall retain matters under consideration that are confidential in confidence.
C. Appeal
Any disagreements on job performance or other areas of concern that cannot be resolved are to be referred to the appeals process. The procedure utilized by an administrator and his supervisor in endeavoring to obtain a satisfactory resolution of all disagreements shall be as follows:
1. Each party to the supervisor’s immediate superior must submit disagreements in writing.
2. If the disagreement is not resolved at the first level within ten school days, the original appeal shall be referred in writing, together with the superior’s report to the next administrative level (assistant principal to principal; to director; to District Administrator; to the Board)
3. The Board of Education will make the final judgment on the disposition of an unresolved disagreement including whether the previous administrative decision was a correct one. The Board may use an advisory panel to investigate appeals that reach this level although it is preferable that the Board considers administrative disagreement areas of concern itself.
