DISPOSITION OF CASES (MEDIATION AND ADR)

Some cases involving teaching and non-teaching personnel may be subjected to amicable settlement by virtue of mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution proceedings; unlike administrative charges where said personnel are subjected to disciplinary proceedings and if proven guilty, shall suffer the corresponding penalty. Cases which may be subjected to mediation and ADR are limited to those involving grievances and those offenses where the penalty is reprimand. (Sec. 4 of D.O. No. 15, s. 2012)
