Academic Discretion Sample Clauses

Academic Discretion. A certain degree of academic discretion is essential to the teaching profession and the exploration and presentation of divergent points of view should be encouraged. The Board of Education believes that the consideration of controversial issues has a legitimate place in the instructional program of the schools (Reference Board Policy 2240). Likewise, the Association recognizes that the Principal in each school is responsible for all teaching conducted and has the responsibility to supervise teaching activity. Should differences exist with respect to the subject of academic discretion between a bargaining unit member and the principal, such differences may be reviewed by the Superintendent, the Association President, and the affected bargaining unit members. Any decision of the Superintendent shall be final and not subject to the grievance procedure contained in this agreement. The primary objective of such instructional materials and equipment shall be to enrich, support, and implement the educational program of the school. The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines for the selection and maintenance of all educational and instructional materials and equipment. The guidelines (reference Board Policy 2520A) shall include a plan for the review of instructional materials by staff and parents.
