Common use of Equitable Distribution of Students Clause in Contracts

Equitable Distribution of Students. 1. The District and the Association recognize the continuing need to effectively address the issue of achieving an equitable distribution of students in the general education classroom including students with disabilities, the impact the addition of such students has upon the general education classroom situation, and the adjustments and/or allowances which sometimes must be made in either a particular classroom or school as a result thereof. Procedures to be followed in carrying out the objectives of this section are set forth in Article 13A (Students with Disabilities). 2. With regard to students with disabilities who have been determined to be resource students (those who receive primary instruction in a general education classroom and supplemental support from a special education teacher), the District has established, and will implement, procedures as outlined in Article 13B (Students with Disabilities). 3. With regard to self-contained students (those whose primary educational program consists of fifty percent (50%) or more of the school day in a self-contained special class), the District agrees to implement those sections of Article 13 (Students with Disabilities) which relate to Mainstreaming Procedures and the Process for Correcting and Monitoring Imbalance. In so doing, however, it is understood and agreed that, while the District is committed to eliminating mainstreaming student load inequities, there may be occasional situations where an immediate remedy, for valid and sufficient reasons, is not available. The parties agree, therefore, those issues which cannot be resolved will be addressed as set forth in Article 13C (Students with Disabilities).
