IN THIS ISSUE. Stipulation of Agreement Between the County of Suffolk and the Guild of Administrative Officers. am very pleased to present to our members the stipulation of agreement we have come to with the County of Suffolk and the College. Your Negotiations Committee (Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, and Xxx Xxxxxx) has worked very hard to bring negotiations to completion and I would like to take a moment to thank them for their dedication and support throughout this process. One of the more difficult aspects of contract negotiations is the addition of new provisions. In this contract you will find a number of new provisions designed to improve our working conditions while also ensuring proper adminstrative coverage throughout the year. I know it has taken quite a while to finalize this contract, but like all contract negotiations both sides need to be comfortable with each part of the agree- ment and this time it has taken a while to reach that level of comfort on both sides of the negotiating table. But it is the outcome that really counts, and in this case I am proud of what has been achieved. According to the Guild Constitution the ratification process is as follows: “The ratification meeting shall be held no sooner than 48 hous after formal presentation to the membership of the major contract provisions. The terms of any tentative agreement negotiated by the Negotiating Committee must be ratified by a majority of those attending a special meeting called for that purpose, and no quorum is required.” The special meeting to vote on our contract will be held January 22, 2003 at 3:30 p.m. in T-109. With your approval(and that of the Suffolk County Legislature), this agree- ment represents the end of this round of contract negotiations. In Solidarity, Xxx Stipulation of Agreement made and entered this day of January, 2003 by and between the County of Suffolk and Suffolk County Community College and the Guild of Administrative Officers of Suffolk County Community College, subject to rati- fication by the parties.

Xxxxxx comments and gestures can be misinterpreted, resulting in stressful investigations by the Board, the Children’s Aid /Family and Children’s Services or the Police. Occasional Teachers have little opportunity to establish a rapport with the class or to develop the trust and confidence of the school. We do not enjoy the relationship with students of the permanent Teacher so we must rely on different class management techniques. Though we may be comfortable with the curriculum, the grade level or students of that age, we cannot afford to allow that familiarity to deter us from teaching defensively: • Avoid all physical contact with students; • Teach with an open door and stay in sight of the hall at all times; • Avoid being alone with one student; • Familiarize yourself with classroom routines and school expectations; • Supervise your students at all times; • Avoid confrontation with students. Call for administrative support. No issue is worth sacrificing your career; • Communicate expectations / rules clearly to class; • Avoid impulsive / flippant remarks; • Have a second adult present when reprimanding a student; • Congratulate students with a “high five” instead of a hug; • Exercise extreme caution when teaching subjects which may require physical contact with students (e.g. Phys. Ed., Drama); Increasingly, ETFO members are facing violent incidents in schools and workplaces. When workplace violence happens, there is a risk of physical and mental harm to both adults and children. Teaching and learning are disrupted and the whole school community can be affected.
