COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING. 6-1. The Association and the Board of Education value increasing job-effectiveness, recognition and self-respect of staff through shared responsibilities at their workplace through a well- designed school-based, collaborative decision-making process. A trust building and collaborative process involving the entire staff will be used at each site to develop its protocols for a decision-making spectrum which includes collaborative decision making. Collaborative decision making and collaborative processes are not meant to supersede managerial responsibility or employee rights, but to acknowledge teachers’ need and ability to help shape their own activities. When teachers have ideas or concerns regarding specific issues, they should be brought to the attention of the principal and/or to site designed collaborative committees and/or processes. Collaborative decisions must conform to state and federal laws and regulations, board policy and other TSD parameters, and the Memorandum of Understanding. Exceptions can be made only through existing means of appeal (See Article 3-4).
