Claims Against the School District It is understood that the School District's only obligation is to purchase an insurance policy and pay such amounts as agreed to herein and no claim shall be made against the School District as a result of a denial of insurance benefits by an insurance carrier.
NO DEBT AGAINST THE STATE This Contract will not be construed as creating any debt by or on behalf of the State of Texas.
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN In accordance with RCW 28A.400.330, employees, agents, and contractors of the NWESD and District are prohibited from working at a public school if they have or may have contact with children at a public school during the course of their employment and have pleaded guilty to or been convicted of the crimes identified in RCW 28A.400.322. Any failure to comply with this section shall be grounds for the District immediately terminating the contract.
PLEDGE AGAINST DISCRIMINATION AND COERCION A. The provisions of this Agreement shall be applied equally to all employees in the bargaining unit without discrimination as to age, sex, marital status, color creed, national origin, job department, handicap, political opinions or affiliation.
Complaints Against Employees Any complaint against an employee that may lead to disciplinary action or that may be used in an evaluation shall be promptly called to the attention of the employee. An exception to this rule is made during the time of an active in-district investigation or during a criminal investigation by a law enforcement agency. No complaint against an employee may be used in disciplinary action or evaluation against that employee unless the complaint is discussed with the employee in a timely fashion.
Violence Against Women The parties hereby recognize and share the concern that women uniquely face situations of violence or abuse in their personal lives that may affect their attendance or performance at work. A woman who is in an abusive or violent personal or domestic situation will not be subjected to discipline without giving full consideration to the facts in the case of each individual and the circumstances surrounding the incident otherwise supportive of discipline. This statement of intent is subject to a standard of good faith on the part of the Employer, the Union and the affected employees and will not be utilized by the Union or the employees to subvert the application of otherwise appropriate disciplinary measures.
