ARTICLE XIV

Grievance Procedure

The purpose of this article is to establish a procedure for the settlement of grievances which
involve an alleged violation of a term or provision of this Agreement. All such grievances will be
handled as provided in this article.

A grievance must be filed within ten (10} working days of its occurrence or within ten (10) days
of the date the employee, by reasonable diligence, should have known of its occurrence. The
grievance must be submitted to the next step within the time limits provided or it will be
considered settled. A grievance once settled at any one of the following steps shall not be
further subject to the grievance procedure.

Grievances shall be processed in the following manner:

Step 1 Any administrator who has a grievance shall, with or without an Association
Representative, discuss it first with the immediate supervisor, in an attempt to resolve
the matter at this level. A decision shall be rendered within ten (10) working days.

Step 2 An unfavorable decision under Step 1 may be formally appealed to the immediate
supervisor within ten (10) working days. The appeal must be in writing on the
grievance form as provided by the Board of Education. The immediate supervisor

working days.

Step 4 An unfavorable decision under Step 3 may be appealed to the Board of Education
within ten (10) working days. The Board shall render a decision within twenty (20)
working days.

StepS Ifa grievance involving the interpretation or application of a specific provision of this
Agreement has not been settled after being fully processed through the grievance
procedure above, then the Association may submit such grievance to arbitration by
giving written notice thereof to the Board not later than ten (10) working days after
the completion of Step 4. The grievance shall be considered as having been settled at
Step 4, unless it is so submitted to arbitration within such time limit.

The choice of the Arbitrator shall be by agreement of the parties. However, if such
agreement has not been reached within ten (10) working days after the receipt of
such written notice submitting the grievance to arbitration, the grievance may be
referred by the Association to the New Hampshire Public Employees Labor Relations
Board for the selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the applicable rules of said
Board. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in accordance with such rules,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Determinations and decisions set forth
by said arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party to the
arbitration shall assume its own expenses and an equal share of the expenses of the
arbitrator.

Grievance Mediation: Either party may submit to the other a request for Grievance Mediation.
Grievance Mediation can only take place by mutual agreement at any time during the grievance
procedure. The parties agree the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service may be used as a
facilitator for cost effectiveness. This does not preclude mediation occurring the day of
arbitration nor using the arbitrator as the facilitator. Should Grievance Mediation occur, the
parties shall agree to a time extension for the following steps.

Failure of the administration to render a decision within the time limits shall permit the grievant
to proceed to the next step. The grievant shall continue to observe the rules and regulations of
the District while the grievance is pending. A grievant shall have all rights provided by RSA 273-
A relative to the processing of grievances.

both parties and expressed in writing prior to such date.

wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment no later than March 1, 2026.

DISCUSSION
e Spending Cap

Chairwoman Wilshire

Tonight we’re having a discussion on the spending cap. CFO Griffin if you’d like to join us. Also joining us this
evening are Attorney Bolton, Mayor Donchess and Director Cummings. Who wants to start? Mr. Griffin?

John Griffin, CFO/Treasurer/Tax Collector

Thank you Madam President and members of the Board Aldermen. Tonight we are here to have a discussion on the
spending cap. I’ve spoken a little bit about some of the ingredients of the spending cap but working with Miss Graham
today | thought it very proper to provide you with a copy of the resolution that includes a page of the Charter which we
follow as well as the detailed calculation in the spending cap. So | can go over the mechanics if you like, explain
what’s included, and then we can have a discussion of why we’re here. Thank you.

So if we look on page 4, this is actually the presentation and model that | used from 2010 when | arrived to - when the
spending cap was deemed unenforceable by the different Courts in the State of NH. Essentially what we’re trying to
do is pick a base year. So as you recall when the spending cap was, or the tax cap, or whatever it was called was
reinstated, we needed a base year. The base year we chose was Fiscal ’22. Several of you remember that base
year. We took the general fund appropriations, the enterprise funds, the special revenue funds including grant funds.
Grant funds act a little bit different than special revenue funds but they are for a specific purpose, for specific funding,
and they don’t lapse at the end of a given fiscal year. They do not lapse to surplus.

Now in addition to Fiscal '22, you also want to consider things that happened during Fiscal ’22, which are called
“supplemental appropriations”. Supplemental appropriations can supplement the general fund, which we had a few
