School Visitations. The Board and the Union welcome members of the community and other interested persons to visit our schools. School improvements often come from suggestions originating from such visits. However, in the interest of maintaining a safe learning environment and continuity of instruction, observers and/or visitors to classrooms shall be limited to authorized employees of the school district, parents of students in the visited classroom, and other persons expressly authorized or invited by the teacher and the administration. Where requested, an administrative staff representative will be assigned to monitor classroom visits by “other persons.”
School Visitations. Employees will be allowed at least one (1) day for the purpose of visiting other schools or attending meetings or conferences of an educational nature at the discretion of the Superintendent.
School Visitations. Subject to approval of the building principal, two days per year may be used by a teacher for visiting schools. Such visits shall be related to staff development or instructional improvement goals of the teacher making the request.
School Visitations. The Board shall permit the President of the Local #1303-450 of Council 4, or his/her designated representative, with the permission of the principal or, in his/her absence, the person in charge of the school, to visit the schools for any purpose relating to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such visits shall be conducted in accordance with the school district’s visitors’ policy and procedures. If conferences with members of the bargaining unit are necessary, they shall be scheduled outside of working hours or on scheduled breaks, or by pre-arrangement and permission of the administration, so as not to interfere with the duties and responsibilities of the school employee(s). This permission shall not be unduly withheld.
