Common use of TEXTBOOKS AND SUPPLIES Clause in Contracts

TEXTBOOKS AND SUPPLIES. Section A: The Board recognizes that appropriate texts, library reference facilities, maps and globes, laboratory equipment, audio-visual equipment, teaching supplies, athletic equipment, current periodicals, standard tests and questionnaires, and similar materials are the tools of the teaching profession. Section B: In that textbooks and supplies are the tools of the teaching profession, the Board expects the need for additional supplies and textbooks, the need for changes in the types of supplies and textbooks, and the updating of supplies and textbooks to originate with the staff member. The Board anticipates that most of these needs will be met through regular budgetary procedures, but will consider any such needs presented by the Association. Section C: In the selection of textbooks, the Board recognizes the effect of such selections upon the schools of the entire District. Therefore, when the need for a change in textbooks has been established, the Board affirms the right of the various schools of the District to be represented in the selection of replacements. The Association agrees, in such instances, to appoint committees of appropriate staff members, including department heads, to meet with the representative(s) of the Superintendent for the purpose of reviewing all available textbooks and materials pertaining to said change. Upon conclusion of the review, each committee will submit to the Board, through the Superintendent, a report including a list of the textbooks and materials reviewed, a recommendation for the textbooks and materials chosen as the replacement, and the basis upon which the particular textbooks and materials were chosen. The Board agrees to honor such recommendations or to return the report to the Committee with its reasons for non-acceptance of the recommended selections. Section D: When it becomes necessary for budget requests in the areas of textbooks and supplies to be cut, the Administration will inform the affected principals within two weeks after final adoption of the budget. After consulting with the School Building Committee on the priority of items, each principal will submit any recommendations.
