Meetings and Visitation. 1. Consistent with the provision of Florida Statute 447.509, DTU members may hold meetings before or after the normal school day for students, or workday if non- school-based, provided such meetings do not conflict with other school activities or assigned duties of employees. A suitable location that is agreeable to both the principal or appropriate administrator and the DTU representative will be made available for such meetings.
Meetings and Visitation. Association building representatives or other designated Association representatives may seek permission in advance of faculty meetings from the principal to make brief announcements at the conclusion of faculty meetings. With such permission and upon adjournment of a faculty meeting, said representative(s) will be given an opportunity to meet with faculty members if faculty members choose to remain for such meeting. The Superintendent shall direct principals to grant the requested permission except in cases of emergency. An emergency shall be defined as a serious, unexpected situation that demands immediate attention. Association members may hold meetings on campus before or after the teachers’ normal work assignment, provided such meetings do not conflict with other school activities or assigned duties of teachers. When special custodial service is required, the Board may assess a reasonable charge. Representatives of the Association may visit with teachers regarding Association business at school locations before and after school or during the lunch period, insofar as such visits shall not be for solicitation or conflict with other school activities or assigned duties of teachers. Association representatives may visit school locations at other times subject to the approval of the Superintendent. In any event, Association representatives shall report their presence to the principal at the time of entry on school premises.
