Sixth Grade Camp Guidelines. It is mutually agreed by the Board and the Association that:
1. The dates, duration and camp program will be jointly planned by the teachers and students involved and the administration and that the final program will be subject to the agreement of those teachers participating.
2. The sixth grade program is recognized as a voluntary project of sixth grade teachers who are free to refuse to participate if they so desire. If a teacher chooses not to participate in the program, the following will apply in order:
(a) If another Grass Lake teacher is willing to participate, the sixth grade teacher will take the classroom duties of that teacher for the week.
(b) If no teacher replacement is found, the sixth grade teacher will be offered any substituting, for which the teacher is certified, available in the District during the camp week. Teachers so substituting will receive their regular pay.
(c) For any days when substituting is not available, or is refused, the sixth grade teacher will forfeit a day's prorated pay.
3. If a teacher does not elect to participate in the program, reference to such decisions will not be made part of the teacher's evaluation, nor will any written or verbal statement be made concerning the teacher's decision.
4. The Board will provide necessary personnel in addition to participating teachers and will provide transportation to and from the camp. Teachers who participate in the camp program shall be compensated according to Schedule B.
5. Consistent with State regulations, the ratio of adult supervisors to pupils will be maintained at greater than one adult per ten pupils.
6. Sixth grade teachers shall not be responsible for fund raising activities associated with the camp experience.
