Educators and School Staff. Educators remain members of their local union. Each district’s local union remains the exclusive bargaining representative for educators at WLC schools. Working conditions are determined by Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and this document does not change any terms of employment, as any such changes would need to be bargained. Modifications may be negotiated to address each district’s city schools’ needs. Educators will be evaluated by building administrators in a manner consistent with state law. The goal of this agreement is to create a framework of commonality, while giving individual schools and communities the ability to flexibly innovate. As such, there will be some elements that will need to be worked out at the local level through potential addenda or MOUs to CBAs. Commonalities may include curricula, programs for students, and models of shared decision- making. If the parties conclude that a WLC-specific CBA addenda or MOU agreement is necessary, the WLC Council shall present its position on the appropriate adjustment to the local union and the relevant district’s School Board, who shall thereafter work to finalize the mutually agreed upon adjustment, with support from the WLC’s Executive Director. The adjustment request should be presented only to the relevant board and if the board determines it needs a MOU, it will seek a MOU. This process only applies to CBA addenda or MOUs specific exclusively to the schools in the WLC.
