Common use of ASSOCIATION AND EMPLOYEE RIGHTS Clause in Contracts

ASSOCIATION AND EMPLOYEE RIGHTS. A. Pursuant to Act 379 of the Public Acts of 1965, the Board hereby agrees that every employee employed by the Board shall have the right to freely join and support the LSEA for the purpose of engaging in collective bargaining or negotiations. The Board undertakes and agrees that it will not directly or indirectly discourage or deprive or coerce any employee in the enjoyment of any rights conferred by Act 379 or other laws of Michigan or the Constitutions of Michigan and the United States. B. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to restrict or deny to any employee rights they may have under any other laws. C. LSEA announcements during duty hours shall be permitted only at the close of building faculty meetings. Association activities will in no way interfere with classroom or preparation time. D. The Board recognizes and respects the right of citizens to make suggestions for the improvements of public schools but maintains that no group can deny academic freedom to educators. The Board recognizes that the education profession has both the right and the responsibility to insist that children must be free to learn broad areas of knowledge, including those considered controversial. Thus, no special limitations shall be placed upon study, investigation, presentation, and interpretation of facts and ideas, except that: 1. The employee must exercise responsibility and prudence and must realize that working in an elementary or secondary school places special responsibility upon the employee to carefully consider the maturity level of the student and the special circumstances that surround the teacher/learning relationship. 2. The employee shall have the responsibility of keeping the principal informed of all controversial issues to be taught outside the accepted course of study. If any group or individual brings charges against the employee designed to impede the employee’s freedom to teach, and the employee’s position concurs with the Board of Education Policy, and numbers 1 and 2 above, the Board shall provide without cost to the employee the necessary and sufficient leave of absence, legal assistance, and other support for the protection of academic freedom. Any amendment to Policy will be distributed by the Board to each teacher. E. 1. The LSEA shall have the right to use building facilities at reasonable times and hours for employee meetings outside the working day when an operating staff is on duty, provided this shall not interfere with or interrupt normal school procedures. Such use will be scheduled through the Building Administrator. When special custodial service is required, the Board will charge the LSEA for the actual charge involved.
