Common use of Regular Contracts Clause in Contracts

Regular Contracts. All bargaining unit members shall be issued written contracts in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code and the provisions of this Agreement. The Association recognizes the Board's right to adopt a policy unilaterally making every new teacher's employment conditional upon Board receipt of a Bureau of Criminal Identification record check. The Board may adopt such a policy to implement the provision of Section 109.57 (F) of the Ohio Revised Code. The Association agrees it will not file a grievance, unfair labor practice charge or otherwise challenge the establishment of such a policy. Bargaining unit members' regular contracts shall be of two (2) types, limited and continuing. Normally, limited contracts shall be offered in the following sequence; first contract one (1) year, second contract one (1) year, third contract three (3) years, fourth and succeeding contracts five (5) years. If the Superintendent intends to recommend to the Board an interruption of the normal sequence of contracts, the bargaining unit member shall be offered an opportunity to have a conference with the Superintendent prior to Board action and to be given the reasons for the recommended variation. At the end of such interruption of the normal sequence, the Superintendent and Board may elect again to deviate from the normal sequence (following the procedure that appears in the immediately preceding sentence), but in no event will a third successive interruption of the normal sequence occur. After such interruption(s) of the normal sequence, the member's next limited contract, if the member is rehired, will be the contract that would have been granted prior to the interruption(s) in the next sequential order. Continuing contracts shall be offered by the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code except that: to be eligible all bargaining unit members must have served five (5) years in the District. The District shall not be required to offer a continuing contract to any bargaining unit member during the life of a multi-year contract. Contracts shall include the following information: 1. Name of bargaining unit member. 2. Name of school District and Board of Education employing the bargaining unit member. 3. Type of contract, limited or continuing. If limited, the number of years the contract is to be in effect. 4. Annual compensation to be paid when the contract is signed, with stipulation that any change would be based on Board-adopted salary schedule. 5. A statement that the salary will be paid twice each month in twenty-four (24) equal installments. (Small variance first month acceptable.) 6. Basis of determining compensation (e.g., classroom teacher B.A. Degree, five [5] years of experience). 7. Bargaining unit member agreement that he/she shall abide by all policies adopted by the Board and this negotiated Agreement. 8. Signatures of the Board President and the Board Treasurer or facsimiles thereof. Facsimiles of signatures shall in all respects be equal to and carry the same force of law as a hand written signature. 9. Provision for signature and date of signature of the bargaining unit member being contracted. 10. Provision that the contract is null and void if not signed and returned within ten (10) working days after the contract is received according to the postmark date. 11. The school year(s) the contract is to be in force. 12. Provision for copy of contract for the bargaining unit member.
