Common use of Contract Maintenance Clause in Contracts

Contract Maintenance. In order to establish an orderly procedure for the review of matters covered by this agreement and the general employee/employer relations, there is hereby established a joint Association/Employer Contract Maintenance Committee (CMC). This committee will be responsible for all matters appropriate for resolution between the Association and the District. During the school year the District and Association will meet at least on a bimonthly basis. At the discretion of either party, additional meetings shall be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time, but not later than three (3) working days from the date the request was made. If such a time is not available during after school hours, then the meeting will take place during school hours and substitutes will be provided. This time will not be subtracted from the available release time for the Association. The CMC will also have the responsibility of addressing issues and problem solving. The CMC may choose to process these issues itself, or to delegate them to ad hoc groups as it deems appropriate. It shall be the responsibility of the CMC to ensure that such items are accompanied by a clear charge regarding what kind of product or solution is being sought, what kind of process will be used to get there (including timelines), what kind of decision making will be necessary for final approval, while staying in support of District approved plans. Issues brought to the CMC may result in Letters of Agreement. The Association and the District agree that talking and working together is the key to improved working relationships. As tangible evidence of our mutual commitment to improving teaching and learning in Hoquiam, each group agrees to work toward providing the other with greater access to their respective leadership groups and, as a first step, to be receptive to requests to appear in person before those groups. Both parties believe that we must work to build authentic relationships between the Association leadership and District administrative staff and School Board if we are to achieve the benefits of a genuine partnership. At the beginning of each student school year the CMC, comprised of equal voice from the two representative groups, shall have available a shared resource pool of $2,000, to use as mutually agreed upon. If a balance remains in this pool the first day of August of each year, it shall be carried over into the next school year with a maximum cap in the pool of $3,000. Uses of the pool include, but are not limited to the enhancement of student learning, meeting state standards, improving instruction, and professional development. Any compensation for time spent on related issues outside of the school day will be compensated at a rate currently in place, appropriate for the task. Participants shall receive CMC approval prior to engaging in the activities/workshops and shall follow established District policies for disbursement.
