The W. T.A., which is a professional association, has received recognition as the bargaining agent for the "Instruction Unit", that is, all classroom teachers and others on the teacher's salary schedule who do not have the responsibility of rating the performance of teachers. Therefore, it is expected that the W.T.A. will govern its activities by the following conditions: 1.1 Long distance phone calls made on behalf of the Association are at the expense of the Association. 1.2 Postage used for Association purposes is at the expense of the Association. 1.3 A record of the amount of material used by the Association will be reported to the designated official in the District Business Office promptly (within two working days). The Association will be billed annually for such material. 1.4 Attendance at any conference or meeting of the NYSUT, AFT, NEA or any other association or group with which the W.T.A. may have relationships or associations other than those conferences covered by Section 4.1 of Article VI occurring during school time will be based on: a. Written request to and subsequent approval by the immediate Building Principal and Superintendent of Schools at least ten (10) days prior to such meeting; b. A substitute teacher suitable to the principal must be found for the days the teacher is absent;
