Common use of Work Facilities Clause in Contracts

Work Facilities. 7.1.1 The District will provide working facilities in each school with adequate lighting, desk, chairs, and will provide a private telephone and a lockable file cabinet for the secure storage of confidential records and materials to ensure the maximizing of conditions necessary to obtain valid assessment results. 7.1.2 Psychologists and/or Social Workers assigned to a school site will be provided with a private office and a private telephone on regular days of assignment. 7.1.3 Adequate office space will be provided in the District Office with access to a private telephone, a desk with lockable drawer, chairs, suitable storage space for materials and a lockable file for confidential records. 7.1.4 PSWA has articulated an ongoing need for private, reliably available space at school sites to perform their work. A system shall be added to the contract which sets out a procedure whereby a psychologist can seek appropriate work space. 7.1.5 In the event a psychologist is unable to secure appropriate work space on a school site, the psychologist should first bring the problem to the attention of the principal and cooperatively seek a resolution. 7.1.6 If an acceptable resolution cannot be reached, the psychologist may involve his or her immediate supervisor with the principal to see if additional options can be developed. Should no space become available at that site, the immediate supervisor may authorize the psychologist to work off site to complete his or her responsibilities. 7.1.7 If no resolution is reached, there will be a meeting convened within 10 days with the Director, Student Support and Health Services, and the principal to see if additional options can be developed. 7.1.8 The District and PSWA realize that the best solution to this problem is adequate space in our schools for support functions. The District agrees to continue to incorporate the input of psychologists into the design of school sites and the soon to be expanded District office to better serve their specific space needs.
