VES EVAL REP: Kim Vanatta
GRIEVANCE - Your grievance rep, Kim, is here for you when you have questions about something you are asked to do that may go beyond what is in our contract.
Some examples are:
• You are asked to attend an event outside of school hours without pay
• You are asked to attend a meeting during your lunch period
• You lose your prep due to a change in schedule
If an administrator asks you to do something, you should do it so that you are not being insubordinate. However, you do need to contact Kim to make sure this isn't something that violates contract language.
