Common use of Waiver Process Clause in Contracts

Waiver Process. The Crestwood School District (“the District”) and the Crestwood Federation of Teachers (“the Union”) agree that, from time to time, recommendations from a building’s school improvement committee or a desire on the part of the staff of a building to implement innovative ideas to improve the school may require the waiver or modification of the collective bargaining agreement. Therefore, the District and the Union have agreed to the following procedure and process for effectuating such proposed waivers and modifications. 1. A proposal for waiver or modification will be developed in writing by those proposing the waiver or modification with concurrence of the building principal and shall include both the current contract language and proposed waiver or modification. 2. The proposal will be given to the building membership at least five (5) working days prior to a vote. 3. If 75% of the building membership votes in favor of the proposal, it will be referred to the Executive Board of the Union and the District’s administration. 4. The Union’s Executive Board shall accept or reject the proposal on the Union’s behalf and shall so notify the District’s administration, in writing, within twenty-five (25) working days of building’s vote on the proposal. 5. The District’s administration shall accept or reject the proposal and so notify the Union’s Executive Board, in writing, within five (5) working days of receipt of notification of acceptance from the Union. 6. Waivers and modifications accepted by the District and the Union will take effect as specified in the proposal, but shall expire on the expiration date of the then applicable collective bargaining agreement.
