Rights of Professional Employees. Section A - Required Meetings and Hearings
Rights of Professional Employees. Required Meetings or Hearings If the need arises for a meeting between an employee and a supervisor (including administrators and/or the Board) and the supervisor reasonably believes that the meeting may result in the discipline of the employee or that the meeting may adversely affect the continued employment of the employee (excluding possible reduction in force situations), the supervisor shall inform the employee, in writing, not by e-mail of the need for the meeting, the nature of the meeting, and the right of the employee to have a representative present. If, during the course of a meeting between an employee and a supervisor, the employee reasonably believes that the meeting may result in the discipline of the employee or that the meeting may adversely affect the continued employment of the employee, the employee has the right to have a representative present. If a representative is requested and one is to be provided, the employee will be given a reasonable time to secure a representative from a list of qualified representatives (local UniServ, qualified building representatives, etc.) supplied and kept up to date by the Cascade Bargaining Council and kept on file with the Superintendent’s office. If a representative is not available from the list of qualified representative, the District will utilize a priority call list provided by the Association for representation by telephone. If a representative still cannot be located from the first two lists any building representatives will be included in the meeting. If no representative can be secured any Association member will be included in the meeting. The employee will be given reasonable time to confer with the representative prior to the meeting. Evaluation of Students The teacher shall maintain the right and responsibility to determine grades and other evaluation of students. No grade or evaluation shall be changed without the approval of the teacher, unless the teacher is not available and the District has made every reasonable effort to contact the teacher, including a certified letter being sent, provided the teacher grades in accordance with District policy and/or administrative rules of the State Board of Education.
Rights of Professional Employees. The Board of Directors recognizes that the personal life of a substitute teacher outside the scope of the working environment is not an appropriate concern of the Board, except as it may affect the substitute teacher's work performance, student relationships, peer relationships, the regular operation of the school, or except as it may impinge on statutory responsibilities of the District.
Rights of Professional Employees. A.
