ARTICLE VIII - PERSONNEL FILES
Permanent Personnel (201) files shall be maintained in the District administrative office. A teacher's personnel file shall be available for inspection by the teacher or his/her designee by appointment. No material in the file shall be copied and disseminated for other than District administrative use without the prior written approval of the teacher. Upon request, a teacher shall be provided copies of his/her 201 file at duplicating cost.
Material which is derogatory to a teacher's conduct, service, character, or personality shall not be placed in his/her file unless the teacher has had an opportunity to read and respond to the material. Any such response shall become part of his/her permanent personnel file.
Unofficial unit files may be kept in individual schools. Such files are available for inspection by the teacher upon appointment. Material which is derogatory to a teacher's conduct, service, character, or personality shall not be placed in a teacher's unit file.
Information entered in a 201 file which is later proven through the grievance procedure to be false will be removed. However, for the purpose of this specific section, a teacher may not grieve the validity of the professional judgment made by a supervisor in the preparation of a written evaluation.
