• RIGHTS OF THE ASSOCIATION A. The Association and its representatives shall have the right to use school buildings for meetings at all reasonable hours, provided such use does not conflict with school use. When special custodial service is required, the Board may make a customary charge therefore. Applications for use of school facilities shall be made in advance at the office of the Superintendent, and such use will be subject to such limitations and restrictions as shall be set forth in a permit issued by he/she or his/her office staff. B. Duly authorized representatives of the Association shall be permitted to transact Association business on school property at all reasonable hours, provided, that such business transactions shall not interfere with school activities. Association officials who are not employees of this district shall be permitted to visit school premises to transact official Association business, provided they first report to the office of the building principal upon entry, state the nature of their business and secure permission from the principal. Permission shall not be withheld if in the opinion of the principal the Association official's visit will not interfere with or interrupt school operations. C. The Association shall have the right to use school facilities and equipment, including typewriters, other duplicating equipment, calculating machines, and all types of audio- visual equipment, at reasonable times, when such equipment is not otherwise in use. The Association shall pay for the reasonable cost of all materials, supplies and repairs incident to such use. The right herein granted is limited to use of said machines and equipment within the school buildings following student session hours. D. The Association shall have the right to post notices of its activities and matters of Association concern on teacher bulletin boards, at least one of which shall be provided in each school building. The Association may use the teacher mailboxes for communications to teachers; provided that the appropriate Association official affixes his/her signature to every notice distributed or posted on or through school facilities. The members of the association may communicate Calumet Education Association business on the District’s computer network. In order to access the e-mail and internet, the Calumet Education Association and association members must sign the Board Network and Internet Access Agreement. The Board shall establish an Association e-mail listserv. E. The Board and the Association agree that arbitrarily imposed standards of dress for teachers are quite unnecessary. They further recognize the teacher's freedom to dress as he/she pleases outside the academic setting as one of his/her individual personal rights and freedoms. Teachers recognize however, that some rights are of necessity secondary to the responsibility to set an example for students within the academic setting. If occasion arises when either party feels that this paragraph should be invoked, a joint committee of two members representing the Board and two representing the Association will meet to review the problem and recommend appropriate action.
