New Teachers 15.1 The Board agrees to acquaint new teachers with the fact that this Agreement is in effect and with the deductions provided for in Article 52 of the Teachers’ Provincial Agreement.
Teachers i. Each teacher shall be given written instructions on the purpose, mechanics, and dimensions of the evaluation procedure, including the teaching standards and rubrics on which the evaluation is based.
Newly Hired Teachers Newly hired Teachers shall be paid in Category A1 until such time as they provide proof of a different category classification.
Non-Tenured Teachers A leave may be granted to a non-tenured teacher by action of the Board of Education, subject to all the conditions applicable to a tenured teacher. However, for a school term to count toward the attainment of tenure, the non-tenured teacher must work at least one hundred twenty (120) full time employment days. A school term that is not counted toward attainment of tenure shall not be considered a break in service for purposes of determining whether the non- tenured teacher has been employed for the period of time necessary to attain tenure, provided that the non-tenured teacher actually teaches or is otherwise present and participating in District 34’s educational program in the following school term. The granting of maternity leave to any non-tenured teacher shall not constitute a precedent for the granting or withholding of leave to any other non-tenured teacher. Each request shall be judged on its own merits and shall be within the sole discretion of the Board. Additional conditions or restrictions may be established for any such leave, provided nothing herein shall be construed as requiring any non-tenured teacher to apply for such leave or accept the conditions established therefore.
Mentor Teachers A. A Mentor Teacher shall be defined as a Master Teacher as identified in section 1526 of the School Code and shall perform the duties of a Master Teacher as specified in the code.
Management Leave The County will credit each full-time management employee who is exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and not eligible for time-and-a-half overtime under this Agreement with forty (40) hours of management leave every July 1. Employees in seventy-five- (75) hour, eligible job classes, part-time employees in eligible job classes, and employees hired into eligible job classes after the effective date will be credited with a pro-rated amount of management leave. Employees newly appointed between July 1 and October 31 shall be credited with five (5) days of management leave for that fiscal year. Any such employee appointed between November 1 and February 28 shall be credited with two and a half (2-1/2) days of management leave for the balance of that fiscal year. Any such employee appointed between March 1 and May 31 shall be credited with one (1) day of management leave for the balance of that fiscal year. Any such employee appointed between June 1 and June 30 shall receive no management leave for that fiscal year. This pro-ration shall also apply to employees who have returned from an approved leave of absence where they were in leave without pay status. Management leave is credited to eligible employees as acknowledgement of the extra hours that management employees are required to work from time to time. Management leave is not a vested right nor compensation for services rendered and as such is not subject to payout upon separation from employment. Unused management leave will carry over from fiscal year to fiscal year as long as the incumbent is a regular-hire employee of the County.
Substitute Teachers In lieu of salary under the basic salary schedule, the District shall pay to teachers employed on the basis of the teacher being available for service if and when called upon by the District and known as substitute teachers, an allowance of $182.07 per full day of teaching effective September 1, 2007. Half days will be paid at 50 per cent of the full day allowance.
