Common use of Other Assignment Clause in Contracts

Other Assignment. A bargaining unit member who accepts an area of responsibility that is not a traditional teaching position and not currently recognized in 1.011 as a position included in the bargaining unit shall, for purpose of this Agreement, be recognized as a member as defined in Article I. Specifically, these assignments are defined by the position titles District-wide Curriculum Coordinator, Administrative Intern, and Media Coordinator. (The position of Coordinator of District Talented and Gifted Students, currently included in the Terms of Recognition, will, in addition, be governed by the paragraphs below.) A bargaining unit member who accepts one (1) of these positions as “teacher on other assignment” will be considered to be on Leave of Absence from his/her teaching position under the general provisions specified in 6.144, acknowledging that “teacher on other assignment” would be one of the reasons that a member would be granted a leave of absence. It would be acknowledged, however, that the other terms of the leave as specified in 6.145 and 6.146 would not apply.
