COMMITMENT TO CONTINUOUS STUDY AND REVIEW. The Parties agree to continue the “Joint Evaluation Negotiations Committee” (JENC) comprised of six (6) appointees from each Party to meet a minimum of four (4) times per school year to support implementation of the Evaluation System and the Classroom Teacher Evaluation System (CTES) Handbook and to recommend changes for the refinement and improvement of the system. By mutual agreement, the committee may meet more often. All agreed upon changes to the Evaluation System and the CTES Handbook will be submitted to both Parties for approval and ratification; however, JENC is empowered to make amendments to the CTES Handbook and to communicate those amendments via the JENC Newsletter. Such JENC initiated amendments to the CTES Handbook ultimately will be subject to ratification and approval the next time Contract provisions are being ratified and approved by the Parties. The District agrees to provide TDEs for the meetings of this joint Committee that are conducted during employee duty time.
