PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS. (In 2011, the Florida Legislature passed statutory changes eliminating the granting of new Professional Service Contracts and prohibiting the School Board from following the requirements outlined in Sections 14.1, 14.1-1, 14.1-2, and 14.1-3 of the contract below. These provisions are therefore placed in abeyance until all legal challenges have been resolved. All other Sections beginning with 14.2 remain in full force and effect.)

When determining co-teaching relationships, assigning preparation periods and developing training opportunities, the Board and Administration agree to consider the foregoing factors, along with applicable scheduling, staffing and financial concerns, and the number of course preparations and different co-teaching pairings,

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS. 7.1 The Board’s goal is to hire teachers who hold certificates, permits, or vocational authorizations valid for the positions to which they are assigned; who meet the standards required by the RSC and MDE guidelines. The responsibility for being properly certificated to teach in the school district rests solely with the individual teacher. The Board will continue its present practice of informing the teachers of this prime responsibility and the manner in which it may be fulfilled. The Association shall be notified of any such action. The Board agrees that teachers employed by the Board, who hold annual authorizations, shall, as a condition of employment make every attempt to obtain permanent status through recognized work and/or study programs as per MCL 380.1233 and/or MCL 380.1233 (b).

Both parties agree that a highly significant part of the educational experience of children in today's society involves cross racial experiences. Part of that experience must be with ethnic minority group members who are educators. Discrimination against applicants for employment or employees of the school district on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, or handicap which does not impair an individual's ability to perform adequately in a particular position or activity is prohibited.
7.3 All substitute teachers employed by the Board shall meet the requirements of the Michigan Certification Code.
