Grievances

Under the terms of the contract of employment a principal who is dissatisfied with the outcome of contract renewal may seek a review through the Merit Protection Boards in accordance with the appropriate Ministerial Order. The only grounds for review are that the renewal process was procedurally deficient or that the outcome is demonstrably inconsistent with the evidence presented. The Merit Protection Board will either:

  • disallow the grievance and confirm the renewal outcome, or
  • uphold the grievance and direct that the procedural deficiency in the renewal process be corrected, or
  • uphold the grievance and direct that the outcome be reconsidered
