Covid-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave
This leave is temporary and is valid through September 30, 2022. We are working with the District to get this extended. The fillable form can be accessed here.
Adjunct Hours
Classroom teachers aren't required to outline every concept presented in class, merely class assignments and homework. Unit members may work with their site administrators if this poses any challenges.
Non-classroom unit members may share resources relevant to the job duties they perform.
Questions? Please feel free to reach out to us.
Catastrophic Leave Bank (CLB)
The CLB is a way for unit members to assist one another. Unit members who have exhausted all of their regular sick leave may apply for additional sick leave days from the bank for catastrophic injury or illness. Only current members on their contributions can request a withdrawal from the bank.
Per contract (Article IX, #5), if we maintain 600 days in the CLB, those already enrolled do not have to donate another day when the new school year starts. As of August 11th, there are 622 days in the bank.
Only new hires and members new to the plan have to enroll. New hires have 30 days from their hire date to register. If you do not have enough sick days accumulated, you will not be able to enroll.
Unsure whether you're registered? Feel free to give us a call.
Your Health Benefits Chair, Andrew Bitterolf, will send out CLB enrollment information soon.
Class Supervision
IEP Meetings
As IEPs are scheduled, it is essential to communicate with all involved. Once case carriers share IEP meeting dates, please verify that there isn't a conflict. General Education (GE) teachers are expected to stay for the duration of the meeting. Those GE teachers not servicing the student but coming in as a reference are not expected to remain unless the parent/guardian requests it. If you believe a meeting will go beyond the contract day, you need to inform your administrator if you cannot stay beyond your on-campus work hours. However, I encourage you to work with your administrator to ensure these meetings occur on time.
