Common use of On Line Learning Clause in Contracts

On Line Learning. It is mutually recognized that “on-line learning” technologies and programs can offer expanded educational opportunities to the District’s students and that the District and Association share a desire to facilitate the realization of such opportunities. Therefore, the District and the Association agree as follows: 1. The instruction for all “on-line learning” courses must be provided by a person meeting TSPC requirements in OAR 584-036-0017. If the on-site direct supervision is to be provided by a non-licensed employee, said employee shall not perform any duties normally reserved for licensed personnel, as per TSPC guidelines. 2. Any courses that are offered by a licensed employee shall not be available for “on- line learning” credit to students who continue to attend in the local district unless a student has previously failed a course offered by a licensed employee or an alternative agreement is reached by teacher, parent, and administrator. If there is not agreement between teacher and parent, then the administrator will make the final determination. 3. During the term of the Agreement, no employee will be terminated as a result of the District’s utilization of “on-line learning”. The District, however, may misassign an employee for up to the maximum number of periods allowed by TSPC. The employee’s continuation of employment beyond the time approved by TSPC for the misassignment may be contingent on meeting TSPC requirements for relicensure. In such cases, the District will reimburse the employee for necessary costs, (tuition, testing fees and relicensing fees) related to attaining such relicensure.
