Common use of RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSIGNMENTS Clause in Contracts

RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSIGNMENTS. 1. Bargaining unit members shall attend scheduled staff meetings outside of working hours when and as required by the Superintendent and immediate supervisor. Meetings shall be held during working hours when reasonably possible. Meeting hours and related work schedules may be arranged by consultation with the appropriate supervisor. Employees unable to attend such meetings because of commitment directly related to their work such as, but not limited to, staffings, parent conferences and visitations, shall not be subject to reprisal provided they have contacted their immediate supervisor prior to the scheduled meeting, whenever possible. 2. In the event of a classroom teacher’s absence, the teacher to be replaced shall be given the opportunity to recommend a substitute whenever possible; however, the decision shall rest with the supervisor. 3. The District will provide each bargaining unit member with a copy of the employee’s job description. The job description will be of sufficient specificity that the bargaining unit member’s immediate supervisor can read and assign tasks in accordance with it. The bargaining unit member’s job description will become a part of the employee’s contract. Assigned tasks and responsibilities shall be related to the job description. 4. When an assigned facility is inadequate, the bargaining unit members will report the inadequacy to the immediate E.S.D. supervisor. If no solution is reached within ten (10) working days, the immediate E.S.D. supervisor will submit to the local building principal and District Superintendent a written statement of the problem and a request for a conference, including, but not limited to, the bargaining unit member, the employee’s supervisor, the program coordinator or the director, whichever is next in line of authority, and the local building principal in an attempt to remedy the problem. The decision of the E.S.D. will not be subject to grievance. 5. The District will make every effort to provide each bargaining unit member with the supplies and materials necessary for the appropriate program. If a financial freeze is necessitated, the District shall meet with the Association in order to prioritize purchasing of essential instructional materials. 6.
