Board agrees to refer Level III custodial grievances to arbitration
Summary
The Robbinsdale board voted 5-2 to adopt a standing recommendation that any Level III custodial grievance be referred directly to arbitration rather than held as an internal board hearing.
Directors voted to adopt a recommendation regarding Level III custodial grievances, agreeing that if the board receives such a grievance it will forgo holding a board hearing and will refer the case to arbitration. Director ReNae Bowman moved the recommendation and Director Aviva Hillenbrand seconded; the motion passed with Bassett, Bowman, Evans-Becker, Hillenbrand and Wutoh voting in favor and Holmes and Long opposed.
The motion was recorded as a voice vote; the board did not discuss specifics of pending or prospective grievances during the public meeting. The decision establishes the board’s preferred process for escalation of Level III custodial grievances pending the receipt of a case.
