Know Your Negotiated Agreement
Your Negotiated Agreement is a lengthy document that outlines and details the working arrangement of our certified employees within our district. Your chief negotiator, Alana Murphy, and the negotiations team work year-round to make sure that the issues that we face are addressed and worked out to our advantage and satisfaction. Take some time today to read through the agreement and reach out to Alana if you have any questions.
One hot topic is Personal Leave. Our Personal Leave is an area that is discussed frequently in administrative and negotiations meetings. Our negotiated agreement states (in part): Teachers shall be granted four (4) days each year to conduct personal business that demands the teacher’s presence at times that school is in session. This leave is noncumulative. Personal business leave may be used for family obligations but may not be utilized for entertainment, recreation, seeking or participating in other employment, or providing a service for compensation. When directed by administration to attend an activity of the teacher’s own special needs child, personal business leave will not be charged.
One (1) day may be taken at full pay. Three (3) days may be taken with sixty dollars ($60) deducted if a non-certified substitute teacher is hired or if no substitute teacher is hired, or eighty dollars ($80) deducted if a certified substitute teacher is hired. If unused, up to three (3) of these days shall be added to the teacher’s accumulated sick leave balance.
