Common use of TIME, RESPONSIBILITY AND INCENTIVE Clause in Contracts

TIME, RESPONSIBILITY AND INCENTIVE. The SPS and SEA believe: 1. The success of the SPS is dependent upon hiring and retaining the highest quality employees. 2. The employees of the SPS should be treated as professionals and trusted to use their professional judgment to accomplish the responsibilities expected by their profession, the SPS and the SEA. 3. Successfully providing all students with a quality education requires staff to recognize that students have prior experiences that frame their worldview and to create and provide a culturally responsive learning environment that acknowledges that all students: a. Are life-long learners b. Can academically achieve at high levels when they are appropriately taught and encouraged; when resources are available that support high expectations for learning; and, when there is strong family and community support c. Are entitled to learn in multicultural context 4. Providing a quality education for all students requires from employees a commitment to the profession beyond the basic contract, normal workday hours and school year: a. The additional commitment required of employees cannot be accurately measured in hours or days; nonetheless, the parties are clear that employees are not being asked to work “24-7” ; b. In meeting their individual responsibilities, the time necessary to fulfill those responsibilities may vary between one employee and another employee; c. State law allows additional compensation for additional time, additional responsibilities or incentives (TRI). Therefore, as incentive for the additional services required of all employees outside of the basic contract, each employee will be issued a supplemental contract in recognition of these additional responsibilities, services and time. Compensation for these duties shall be in accordance with the TRI Salary Schedule Appendix B and payment will be made in equal monthly installments as part of the regular paycheck. A part-time or late-hire employee will receive a pro rata share of this TRI supplemental contract, except as modified by mandatory days, based on the employee's full-time equivalency (FTE). 5. The self-directed portion of the supplemental responsibility contract (TRI) recognizes that employees will provide a professionally responsible and reasonable level of service in the following areas that are above the basic contract: a. Preparation for school opening, including preparation for the classroom or workspace before, after and during the school year for quality instruction and support of instruction; b. Work connected with the conclusion of the school year or grading period with grades and related paperwork will be submitted within five (5) workdays from the last student day of the grading period; c. Conferencing/communicating with students or parents/guardians at reasonable times; d. Supporting school/student activities such as dances, concerts, sporting events and performances as chosen by the employee; e. Providing individual help to students when able; f. Analyzing data and evaluating student work; g. Participating in self-reflection, goal setting, and related professional growth activities, such as: attending workshops, classes, conferences or seminars or participating in action research projects as chosen by the employee; h. Researching and acquiring educational materials and supplies; i. Preparing, revising, and replacing materials; j. Planning with other employees in areas of instruction, curriculum and assessment; k. Working with computers and other technology as related to educational uses; l. Attending SPS and/or school-connected meetings and governance such as PTSA, etc as chosen by the employee; m. Participating in the development of a school plan or other building activities or committees; n. Participating in a reasonable number of IEP and Section 504 meetings and communicating with parents/guardian and students. 6. The mandatory portion of the supplemental responsibility contract (TRI) covers participation in scheduled meetings and professional development as follows: a. Under the supplemental responsibility contract the employee will be required to participate in the following scheduled activities: 1) One (1) SPS scheduled TRI days. The SPS may choose to provide flexibility on the use of all or part of this day. 2) One (1) building directed TRI day as outlined in Article II, Section B, 2 and two (2) building directed TRI days or the equivalent in hours (for these purposes a day is 8 hours) as outlined in Article II, section B, 1, a. 3) One (1) TRI day is calendared before the first student day for building business and classroom/worksite preparation b. Part-time staff will receive a full day’s pay for any full days worked. Part-time staff will submit time sheets for the portion of scheduled TRI hours that exceeds their FTE, when they work the time. For example a .5 FTE staff member will receive a .5 of the total TRI supplemental salary; in addition the staff member will receive 4 hours per diem pay for the additional time he/she will work under the TRI provision. (TRI Days are 8 hour days.) c. All employees with regular contracts (provisional, continuing or leave-replacement contracts) are eligible for full TRI supplemental contracts prorated for their FTE. Building Designated Substitutes and each Long-Term Substitute who has agreed to teach a special education class for which they do not have an endorsement are entitled to a full TRI supplemental contract prorated for their FTE and the portion of the year they are under contract or are a Long-Term Substitute. d. Each employee is responsible for maintaining a personal record of work in case the State auditor requests verification of having met the responsibility contract. This record is not submitted to the SPS. e. The Time Responsibility and Incentive Salary Schedule and Index is found in Appendix A and B. The TRI increase for the 2013-2014 school year will be an across the board amount of 2.0%. This is calculated by adding 2.0% of the 2013-2014 regular salary schedule base salary (BA only/Step 1) to the 2012-2013 TRI base. This new amount will then be applied to the TRI index found in Appendix B to generate the 2013-2014 TRI Salary Schedule. Beginning 2014-2015, the annual TRI increase will be an additional across the board amount of 2.5%. This is calculated by adding 2.5% of the 2014-2015 regular salary schedule base salary (BA only/Step 1) to the 2013-2014 TRI base. This new amount will then be applied to the TRI index found in Appendix B to generate the 2014-2015 TRI Salary Schedule. During the 2014-15 school year, each employee will also be allotted one (1) day supplemental pay for district and on-site professional development training associated with the integration of technology related to wireless technology, on-line grade books, common core, smarter balance, and/or other district initiatives. 7.
