Even if the chances are slim to none, if they do not appeal they may have forfeited their right to proceed to an Article 78. Or it may prohibit their ability to have outside legal representation to file an appeal for an article 78 for arbitrary and capricious action by the employer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-11913086280215345142011-07-06T19:31:05.225-04:002011-07-06T19:31:05.225-04:00Jeff:

I never thought of it as part of the 3020-a process and yes I can see how an Arbitrator could assume a non challenge of a "U" rating as an admission of guilt.<br /><br />Of course the Arbitrator should not take the lack of a "U" rating appeal into account unless the Arbitrator is looking to get the teacher.Traveling ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708773664604479727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-32063883577533696312011-07-06T17:47:57.160-04:002011-07-06T17:47:57.160-04:00Once again, Chaz, you did well exposing this dirty...Once again, Chaz, you did well exposing this dirty little secret however, your conclusion, not fight U ratings, is wrong. I have found U rating appeals to be very helpful in 3020a hearings and have even heard, on more than one occassion an arbitrator take the non-appeal as a tacit admission of the merits of the U rating. While the obstacles may be high it still merits a fight....especially when the U is baseless.Jeff Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11728874415155394751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-83929388643959268302011-07-06T13:31:10.001-04:002011-07-06T13:31:10.001-04:00Are you serious?? 2.5% of all teachers are given a...Are you serious?? 2.5% of all teachers are given a U rating and you are complaining. That means 97.5% teachers are satisfactory or better. There is no way that 97.5% of teacher are satisfactory or better. Forget about teachers, take a look at any organization, public or private, 97.5% of employees are meeting expectations. You are lying to yourself if you think any organization with more than 20 people have every employee meeting expectations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-12041658276079057282011-07-06T09:35:40.477-04:002011-07-06T09:35:40.477-04:00I'm not sure even Casey Anthony could have got...I'm not sure even Casey Anthony could have gotten out of a U rating.Mr. Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239113469882849506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-75340541845765979972011-07-05T20:13:06.976-04:002011-07-05T20:13:06.976-04:00If anyone has received a U rating or tenure denial...If anyone has received a U rating or tenure denial and discontinuance, please contact me at TracieGG@gmail.com.<br /><br />All information will be kept confidential.
