Educators are encouraged to cooperate with universities in assisting university students in their study and training to become qualified educators. Educators may make application for student teachers to their principal.

It is agreed that every reasonable effort should be made to allow professional certified employees, regardless of certification, to focus their time and energies in their areas of expertise. This concern relates to, but is not limited to, counselors. It is also agreed to encourage the utilization of available funds to assist certificated employees in their responsibilities such as scheduling.

Educators and classified personnel shall work cooperatively in the entire educational process.

Educator aides are assistants, not educators, and as such should not perform instructional tasks that are not under the direction and guidance of the educator.

The District will work with the administrators to free educators from administrative and secretarial duties and reduce classroom interruptions.

Class Load: In the event that a classroom educator feels that the pupil-educator ratio might be excessive, the educator may appeal to the principal who shall make every attempt to resolve the problem. In the event that the situation cannot be resolved by the principal, the principal shall request relief from the district administration (i.e., aides, additional educator, re-assignment of students or some other form of assistance.)

The District, as well as the Association, is greatly concerned with quality of education and recognizes the beneficial effect of keeping the student-educator as low as possible. Any monies gained or lost through the student-educator ratios is in, and does go to the M & O budget.

An educator may make application to transfer within the district. The transfer request must be submitted to Human Resources by March 15th. The Human Resources Department shall prepare bulletins of known vacancies, which will occur for the following year.

Educators shall be assigned to positions by the Superintendent of Schools and his assistants after discussion with the supervisors involved. They shall be responsible to the administrator under whom they are assigned. Educators shall be subject to change in assignment as is deemed best for the educator, the schools, and the students.
