Common use of Reporting Practices Clause in Contracts

Reporting Practices. The District and the Association share a mutual belief that best educational practice is to report student progress in a conscientious and timely manner. Secondary school teachers shall update student assignment grades regularly (at a minimum every ten (10) school days) on the District’s online reporting system for viewing by students and their families. All assignments and tests shall be graded as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event more than fifteen (15) school days after the assignment or test is turned in. All assignments received within twenty (20) school days of the end of the first semester must be posted within twelve (12) school days. Teachers experiencing difficulties with this provision shall be provided support and assistance and shall not be subject to discipline. Concerns regarding timely reporting practices, however, may be included in a teacher’s performance evaluation beginning in 2012-13. At the beginning of each semester, District administrators will communicate to parents and students the expectations for grading and posting information online; this communication will be jointly developed with BEA. The intent of the electronic gradebook is to make information accessible, not to change teachers’ grading practices. At the beginning of each school year, school administrators and a BEA representative will conduct a joint presentation to school staff on grade reporting practices. Topics will include, but not be limited to, School Board policies, grade reporting research regarding best educational practice and other relevant topics. At the request of the teacher, the principal/supervisor will work to resolve situations in which there is a disagreement between the teacher and the parent/student about grade reporting requirements.
