Joint Cooperation Committee. (a) The Parties shall establish a Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC).
Joint Cooperation Committee. 1. A joint Cooperation Committee shall be set up to Promote and keep under reviews the various cooperation activities envisaged between the Parties in the framework of the Agreement. Consultations shall be held in the Committee at an appropriate level in order to facilitate the implementation and to further the general aims of this Agreements. The Committee will normally meet at least once a year. Special meetings of the Committee shall be held at the request of either Party.
Joint Cooperation Committee. Recognizing that many of the demands and pressures placed upon the educational system are largely outside of the control and direction of either the District or the Association, the parties hereby agree to form a Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) as a mechanism for continued dialogue between the parties during the life of this collective bargaining agreement. The parties recognize that many day-to-day working conditions concerns are not easily resolved through the collective bargaining agreement, especially if individual building needs are taken into account. The parties, therefore, agree that the Committee shall serve as a vehicle for discussion of these working conditions concerns and as the possible source for a two-way flow of information and effective action resulting from group thinking. The Committee shall be composed of up to four members designated by each party as follows: Association president; up to three Association representatives with one each from the elementary, middle and high school levels; the Superintendent designee; and up to three District representatives with one each from the elementary, middle and high school levels. The Committee shall meet from time to time as mutually agreed between the parties. The Committee may address any working conditions/issue it deems appropriate. During this agreement, JCC topics will also include a review of Appendix B (Extra-Duty), review annual extra duty stipends, collaboration time with multiple employee groups for curriculum and student behavior support development, adding to part-time FTE, TOSA job descriptions, class size review, traveling licensed staff’ daily schedule, staff communication, peer mediator program, historically oppressed recruitment and retention, and co-teaching. Ultimate recommendations will be submitted for review, consideration, and possible action by the Association and either the Superintendent or Board.
