Common use of PROFESSIONAL REVIEW COMMITTEE Clause in Contracts

PROFESSIONAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. The Administration and the Association agree to form a professional review advisory committee to meet at least once each month only during the school year to discuss matters of mutual concern. Each party shall assign four (4) members to this committee and all meeting arrangements will be made by mutual consent. When possible, two (2) of the Association members shall be staff members from the elementary school, and two (2) shall be staff members from the junior/senior high school. The chair of this committee will rotate on a yearly basis between the Administration and the Association. The mutually agreed upon minutes of each PRC meeting will be maintained in an electronically shareable format. As a matter of general principle, contract enforcement, i.e., grievances, and items specifically included in the negotiated agreements fall outside the scope of authority of the PRC except as otherwise specifically provided in Section D 2 above. Other concerns from individual buildings and/or building members will only be considered if they have first been discussed with the building staff and they have been unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. All other matters of mutual concern may be agenda items for the PRC. In addition, the Committee will provide input to the Board concerning the adoption of new policies or revisions of existing policies that affect teachers in their assigned duties but are not an addition to, deletion from, or modification of the existing contract between the Board and the Association. Policies so pertaining may be brought to the Committee for discussion and study by either the Association or the Administration.
