The District shall pay for Praxis Exam fees and one (1) study guide for an employee opting to take and ultimately passing the exam to obtain “Highly Qualified” status under state and federal rules.
Highly Qualified. By March 1 of each year, it is the responsibility of each teacher to properly and timely fill out any forms the District may require, and submit to the District verification of any tests or courses passed which are relevant to his/her “highly qualified” status.
Highly Qualified. Paraprofessionals. Beginning September 1, 2009, all newly hired employees for the positions of Title I paraprofessional, Special Education paraprofessional, and Technology paraprofessionals will have at least an Associate degree in order to obtain a position in those classifications. The Board may require an additional assessment (mastery of Work Keys) at the cost of the applicant if it is felt that the applicant may not have adequate skill levels for a particular position.
Highly Qualified. Paraprofessionals All paraprofessionals must meet the requirements of the federal AESEA (American Elementary and Secondary Education Act).
Highly Qualified. Special Education paraprofessionals must meet all applicable standards for “highly quali- fied” under No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), including the NCLB Final Regulations and Michigan requirements as approved by the State Board of Education. If a paraprofessional who is required to meet the NCLB „highly qualified” standards (as outlined above) does not meet those standards, he/she shall be assigned to any concur- rently existing vacancy for which he/she is qualified. Any such vacancy shall not be re- quired to be posted under this Agreement. If a paraprofessional cannot be assigned to a concurrent vacancy for which he/she is quali- fied, he/she will be placed on layoff status, under the provisions of Article XV of this Agreement, unless the paraprofessional is qualified to displace another less senior member of the bargaining unit. In the later event, the more senior paraprofessional shall displace the least senior bargaining unit member holding an assignment for which the more senior paraprofessional is qualified. Displacement shall be according to the terms of Article XV, Section A. The paraprofessional ultimately displaced shall be laid off and shall have recall rights to the extent provided in Article XII, Reduction in Personnel.
Highly Qualified. A. The District shall notify each teacher in writing by October 1 of each year of his/her “highly qualified” status under the federal law for his/her current school year teaching assignment. The Association shall be provided a copy of each notice. It is the responsibility of each teacher to properly and timely fill out any forms the District may require and submit to the District verification of any tests or courses passed which are relevant to his/her “highly qualified” status.
Highly Qualified. Pursuant to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), paraprofessionals must meet “highly qualified” requirements. If it is determined by the Ohio Department of Education or the United States Department of Education that the Employer will lose funding if it employs paraprofessionals who do not meet the “highly qualified” requirements, all paraprofessionals who are not “highly qualified” according to ESSA will be subject to (1) an involuntary transfer to a position for which they are eligible; or (2) will be terminated. This determination will be made in the sole discretion of the Board or its designee. For purposes of this Article, “Paraprofessional” is defined in accordance with the ESSA.
