Child Development Program. 9.5.6.1 Child Development Program teachers shall have teacher/child ratios permitted by law, which are currently as shown below. It is agreed that the District will meet and consult with the Union before implementing any changes in the ratio.
Child Development Program. 27.1 The District and Union share the goal of building a program that offers a full range of educational experiences to the children in the Child Development Program. The current structure of the program makes it difficult to provide the best services for children and the best professional responsibilities for teachers and paraprofessionals. The District and Union shall work to develop possible modifications to the structure of the Child Development within the historic fiscal limitations of the Child Development Program’s funding mechanisms.
Child Development Program. 13.22.1. Effective July 1, 1996, the job description for paraprofessionals assigned to the Child Development Program may be modified by the District to include those work activities currently related to sleeping cots used by students. If said modification takes place, the salary schedule for the class of C 10 shall be increased by $.15 per hour.
Child Development Program. 11.4.1 Salary schedules for Child Development Program teachers hired before August 1, 1986.
Child Development Program. 11.10.1 The duty day for Child Development teachers shall be seven (7) hours including a minimum of a thirty (30) minute duty-free lunch period. Each full-time Child Development teacher shall be provided with thirty minutes (30) of non-instructional time in order to fulfill professional duties such as preparation, assessments, IEP’s, collaboration, and parent conferences.
Child Development Program. 14.4.1 Column movement on the salary schedule for current teachers in the Child Development Program who were “grandfathered” on to the K-12 salary schedule shall be limited to Column III (BA + 36).
Child Development Program. A Child Development Program teacher transferring to the K-12 program may proceed according to the provisions of Section 27.13.
Child Development Program. As of the 2001-2002 school year the State Department of Education has put the District on notice that it cannot operate this program at a deficit any longer. If the District is unsuccessful in making the Child Development Program self-sustaining, the consequences imposed by the State Department of Education could be severe. The Union and District (“the parties”) agree that this program is too valuable to lose. The parties also agree that the responsibility for preserving it is a shared responsibility. Therefore, the parties agree to pursue a joint program to increase revenues and stabilize expenses with the goal of making the program self-sustaining by the 2003- 2004 school year. If this goal for the Child Development Program is not achieved, the parties understand that the consequences of that failure will impact bargaining for salaries for the 2003-2004 year and beyond. The Union agrees to take its fair share of the responsibility for reducing expenses. However, the parties recognize that other stakeholders involved with the Child Development Program must likewise take responsibility for increasing revenues and reducing expenses.
