PR+R Committee

The PR&R (Professional Rights and Responsibilities) Committee is often known as the Grievance Committee or the “Guardians of the Contract.” PR&R is responsible for assisting employees in the processing of individual grievances and for representing the LEA in the processing of class action grievances.

A grievance is a formal process by which a member or a class of members seeks a remedy to a situation believed to be contrary to the contract between the LEA and the School Committee. PR&R has representatives from each school, and its chair is a member of the Executive Board. Along with the Building Representatives, the PR&R Representatives are the grass roots of the LEA and the members’ liaison to the Executive Board. (Sample Grievance Letter)

Together, the PR&R Committee and the Building Representative Committee make up the LEA’s Representative Council, which is chaired by the LEA Vice-President.
