High School At the request of the Superintendent, a high school teacher may volunteer on a semester basis to teach all the student contact time and be paid one sixth (1/6) of his/her salary for the semester. This section shall not be used to circumvent the hiring of additional full time teachers.
Training Courses The Employer shall bulletin any training courses and experimental programs for which employees may be selected. The bulletin shall contain the following information:
(a) type of course (subjects and material to be covered),
(b) time, duration and location of the course,
(c) basic minimum qualifications required for applicants. This bulletin shall be posted for a period of two (2) weeks on bulletin boards in all Departments to afford all interested employees an opportunity to apply for such training. The senior qualified applicant shall be selected.
Traineeships 10.1 The minimum rates of pay for Trainees are specified in Schedule A, Part 3, to this Agreement.
10.2 For the purposes of this Clause:
Internships The Hospital may establish internships for the purpose of meeting future projected nursing shortages and/or providing career opportunities where there are no internal qualified candidates for job postings. In such circumstances, the implementation and guidelines of such an arrangement will be determined locally by the Hospital and the Union subject to the following: Internships are designed to develop the Hospital’s staff in order to fill positions for which there are currently no qualified internal candidates and/or for which shortages are predicted within a five (5) year period. Internships enable hospitals to maximize the use of qualified internal staff to meet their human resources needs, while at the same time providing career development opportunities for their employees. To provide direction to the local parties in developing and implementing internship(s) the Ontario Nurses’ Association and Participating Hospitals have agreed to the following principles:
(a) The Hospital will establish the expectations for each internship opportunity;
(b) There will be an open application process for internship opportunities;
(c) The opportunities will be open to currently employed nurses who can demonstrate continuous learning, and a commitment to the Hospital;
(d) Nurses who are selected for internship opportunities will commit to continued employment on a mutually determined basis;
(e) Initiatives to support selected candidates may include but are not limited to:
i) No loss of regular wages while attending a requisite course
ii) Paid course fees
iii) Paid time for clinical practicums in the Hospital or another clinical site
iv) Any other initiatives, as agreed.
(f) Part-time nurses will be credited with seniority and service for all such hours paid while participating in these initiatives as provided above.
MIDDLE SCHOOLS 1. Where there are no negotiated provisions concerning the implementation or operation of a middle school program, this article shall govern the implementation or operation of a middle school program in a school district.
2. Should the employer seek to establish a middle school program in one or more schools in a district, the employer and the local shall meet, no later than ten (10) working days from a decision of the employer to implement a middle school program, in order to negotiate any alternate or additional provisions to the Collective Agreement which are necessary to accommodate the intended middle school program.
3. In the absence of any other agreement with respect to the instructional day and preparation time, the provisions of the Collective Agreement with regard to secondary schools shall apply to middle schools.
4. If the employer and the local are unable to agree on what, if any, alternate or additional provisions of the collective agreement are necessary to accommodate the intended middle school program(s), either party may refer the matter(s) in dispute to expedited arbitration for final and binding resolution pursuant to Article D.5.5 below.
a. The jurisdiction of the arbitrator shall be limited to the determination of alternate or additional provisions necessary to accommodate the intended middle school program(s).
b. In the event the arbitration is not concluded prior to the implementation of the middle school program, the arbitrator will have remedial authority to make appropriate retroactive modifications and adjustments to the agreement.
c. The arbitration shall convene within thirty (30) working days of referral to arbitration in accordance with the following:
i. Within ten (10) working days of the matter being referred to arbitration, the parties shall identify all issues in dispute;
ii. Within a further five (5) working days, there shall be a complete disclosure of particulars and documents;
iii. Within a further five (5) working days, the parties shall exchange initial written submissions;
iv. The hearing shall commence within a further ten (10) working days; and
v. The arbitrator shall render a final and binding decision within fifteen (15) working days of the arbitration concluding.
6. Where a middle school program has been established on or prior to ratification of the 2006-2011 Provincial Collective Agreement, the existing provisions shall be retained unless the parties mutually agree that they should be amended.
NO HARDSTOP/PASSIVE LICENSE MONITORING Unless an Authorized User is otherwise specifically advised to the contrary in writing at the time of order and prior to purchase, Contractor hereby warrants and represents that the Product and all Upgrades do not and will not contain any computer code that would disable the Product or Upgrades or impair in any way its operation based on the elapsing of a period of time, exceeding an authorized number of copies, advancement to a particular date or other numeral, or other similar self-destruct mechanisms (sometimes referred to as “time bombs,” “time locks,” or “drop dead” devices) or that would permit Contractor to access the Product to cause such disablement or impairment (sometimes referred to as a “trap door” device). Contractor agrees that in the event of a breach or alleged breach of this provision that Authorized User shall not have an adequate remedy at law, including monetary damages, and that Authorized User shall consequently be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, injunction, or other form of equitable relief against the continuance of such breach, in addition to any and all remedies to which Authorized User shall be entitled.
School Closures The District may close schools for academic purposes or reduce programming due to public health, safety, severe weather or any other purpose as determined by the District. The District shall not owe Provider any compensation for times when services of Therapists are canceled, declined, or not required due to closure, reduction in programming, or exclusion of Therapists due to health risk assessment screenings or any other reason, and Provider agrees to indemnify District for Therapist claims arising from all such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by Section 10-20.56(d-15) of the School Code (105 ILCS 5/10-20.56(d-15)), when enforceable under law, the Parties understand that the District may determine it is required to pay Provider the daily, regular rate of pay and benefits for Therapists for any day of school closure or e-learning day if such closure precludes the Provider’s employees from performing its regularly scheduled duties and employees would have reported for work but for the closure, unless the day is rescheduled and the employees will be paid their daily, regular rate of pay and benefits for the rescheduled day when services are rendered. The Parties agree such payment constitute full satisfaction of Section 10-20.56(d-15). As a precondition to these payments being made, Provider shall provide an invoice for the foregoing pay and benefits costs; however, Provider will not include such pay and benefits costs for any school closure or e-learning day on any invoices until the last invoice of the school year in order to allow the District the opportunity to determine if the day will be rescheduled. When a payment is to be made by the District under this provision, Provider represents and warrants that it shall pay its employees their daily, regular rate of pay and benefits for any such school closure or e-learning day. Upon request, Provider shall provide the District with certified payrolls as evidence of compliance with this section. The District retains sole discretion to determine whether Section 10-20.56(d-15) applies to this Agreement or any day of school closure and, if the District determines such law is applicable, the District retains the discretion to determine if and when a school closure day is rescheduled. For purposes of this section, “school closures” shall not include holidays or other days of closure reflected on the District’s school calendar for which Provider is not scheduled to provide services under the Agreement.
Plagiarism The appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.
Courses (a) Courses offered in the high school through UWHS are official UW courses, and students in the courses are eligible to register to earn UW credit in addition to the high school credit awarded by the School/District.
(b) UW courses will be taught in rooms provided by the District and/or School during the academic year. Specific course dates will be determined by the District, which will communicate course plans to UWHS.
(c) Specific to UW French, German, and Spanish courses, mixed-level courses are prohibited. All students in the classroom must be taking the same course and be at the same level of learning the language. For example, a FRENCH 103 course will include only students taking FRENCH 103 and will not simultaneously have students at a higher or lower level of French in the classroom at that time. The School/District may request an exception to this policy, and UW will review each request and promptly notify the School/District of approval or denial of that request.
(d) If a UW course in the high school must shift to hybrid or remote learning, in which part or all of the course instruction occurs without in-person, classroom-based instruction, the teacher will complete a course contingency approval form provided by UWHS. This form will outline the teacher’s plan for conducting the course in this new format. The teacher will submit this to UWHS, and the form will then be routed to the appropriate, discipline-specific UW faculty for review and approval. If the UW faculty have concerns, the teacher will be contacted to revise their plan. If the plan is ultimately denied by faculty, the UW course will be cancelled for UW credit and fees paid by and for all UW-registered students will be fully refunded.
(e) School or District may not combine within the same course section (i.e., all students in the classroom with the teacher) a UW course with another college’s course offered as “College in the High School.” The teacher is only teaching a UW course during that class period. If desired, School or District may partner with other colleges to offer other college courses in separate course sections, taught in different periods.
(f) In some circumstances, UW faculty have approved co-delivery of a UW course alongside an Advanced Placement (AP) course, with the same teacher and students in the same classroom. Such a course would be indicated in the course catalog, transcript, and syllabus as both a UW and AP course. School or District personnel should contact UWHS to confirm which UW courses are approved by UW for co-delivery with an AP course and to ensure course compatibility and syllabus approval.
Tourism In this field, the objective of the cooperation will be to strengthen the promotion of the tourist potentialities of the Parties, as well as to facilitate the information exchange and the conservation of natural and cultural attractions.
