The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest

may from time-to-time arise affecting the terms and
conditions of employment of teachers. Both Parties agree
that these proceedings will be kept as informal and
confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure. | | |
2.Nothing here in contained shall be construed as limiting
the right of any teacher having a grievance to discuss the
matter informally with the appropriate member of the
Administration, and having the grievance adjusted without
the intervention of the Association, provided the
adjustment is not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement.
| 1. |
The teacher may discuss informally his grievance with the
Immediate Supervisor in an attempt to secure an equitable
solution to the problem within five (5) days of the
alleged grievance. |

decision on a grievance within the specified time limits
shall permit the grievant to proceed to the next step. |

the specified time limits shall be deemed to be a waiver of further appeal of the decision. |
| |

the pendency of any grievance, continue to observe all assignments
and applicable rules and regulations of the Board until such grievance
and any effect thereof shall have been duly determined. |

E.In cases in which a grievance pertains to a matter or specific terms and conditions
of employment in the written agreement between the Board and the Association,
and if the decision of the Board does not resolve the grievance to the satisfaction
of the teacher grievant, and if the Association determines that the grievance is meritorious,
the Association may submit a written notice for arbitration to the Board through the
Superintendent within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the teacher grievant of
the Board's decision. However, the Board's decision shall be final and finding in

ARTICLE VII – SALARIES

schedule as of the beginning of the 2003-04 school year and the 2004-05 and 2005-06
school years in accordance with salary guides mutually agreed to by the Board and the Association (see Appendix A). This Contract shall be in effect for the school years 2003-04,
2004-05, and 2005-06. |
Prior related skills and/or experience, including up to four years of military service, are creditable in establishing the initial position of new teachers on the salary guide.
| Subject to the exercise of the Board's retained right to withhold salary increments, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:29-14, teachers shall be entitled to receive annual salary increments as provided in the salary guide until the maximum salary for the position has
been attained. |
| All teachers are paid semi-monthly on approximately the 15th and the last day of the

-7-
D. | COURSE CREDIT FOR SALARY PURPOSES |
| The Board of Education encourages teachers to continue their professional training
through matriculation in advanced degree programs and/or enrollment in specific
courses, which in the judgment of the Administration will serve to advance a teacher's performance in the classrooms of the local District. |
Effective July 1,1999, salary guide credit shall be limited to six (6) credits per year plus one additional equivalency credit for in-service course work for all teachers who are at or beyond the attainment of the first Master’s degree. Accumulated credits beyond the seven allowable salary credits earned in any one year may not be carried forward for credit in subsequent years. All courses for salary guide credit must be approved by the Superintendent.
The following guidelines will serve as a basis for granting salary guide credit for approved teachers' training:
1.In general, any course or courses taken as part of a program in which the teacher is matriculating toward an advanced degree within the field of education will be accepted
without further explanation because the attainment of an advanced degree is a
recognizable professional goal.
2. | A course or courses taken to meet requirements for certification in New Jersey do not
qualify for salary guide credit unless the courses for certification are included in a
matriculated program for an advanced degree. |
3.Under certain conditions, it is understandable that a teacher may wish to pursue work
in courses outside that teacher's present major teaching field, such as a degree program,
which may add to the teacher's background and consequently tend to enhance the
contribution the teacher can make to the School District. Such courses, therefore,
when taken in connection with a degree program, may be allotted normal salary guide
credit if advanced application is made and approved by the teacher's Building Principal
with final approval secured by the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the
complete contemplated program of study before first registration for any course is
completed. Substitution of courses, as may be required because of registration and
scheduling difficulties, will be permitted without advance Superintendent’s or Assistant Superintendent’s approval provided the substitution is approved by the degree granting institution for substitute credit toward the degree being sought.
-8-
4. | A teacher may wish to enroll in a specific course in an approved college or university
when such course is not part of a degree program. Salary guide credit will be allotted
upon successful completion of the course only if advanced application is made and
approved by his Building Principal with final approval secured by the Superintendent
or Assistant Superintendent before registration in the course is completed. The relevance
of the proposed course to the improvement of teacher effectiveness will be a major factor
in determining salary credit approval. |
5. | Graduate credits for application beyond the Master’s Column may be earned in a
non-matriculated program, submitted to and approved by the Superintendent prior
to the start of the program. Courses must be those offered by an accredited institution,
approved by the Superintendent and acceptable for graduate credits. Courses must
require regular scheduled attendance for advanced study over at least one term, semester,
summer session, or intersession. |
6. | A weekend course may, at the discretion of the Superintendent, be approved for tuition reimbursement and/or salary guide credit provided that the course meets over a full term
or semester. |
7.From time-to-time, the Board of Education may offer in-service teacher education programs
on an elective or required basis. Salary credit for teachers participation in such programs
will be determined in advance and awarded only upon successful completion of the work.
8. | When a teacher achieves a higher training level on the guide at mid-year, his salary will be adjusted to that level for the remainder of the year provided an official transcript has been submitted to the Superintendent's office by no later than February 15. |
E. REQUIREMENTS OF ALL NON-TENURED TEACHERS HIRED ON OR AFTER JULY 1, 1998
1. Attainment of an approved Master’s degree is required within nine (9) years of date of first employment for advancement on the teacher salary guide. For extenuating circumstances, the Superintendent may grant additional time, on a case-by-case basis, for completion of first Master’s degree requirement. However, in no cases may authorize additional time for completion of degree requirements extends beyond two additional contract years. Failure to attain an approved Master’s degree, in accordance with this provision, will limit salary increases to one hundred dollars ($100) annually until attainment of Master’s degree qualification.
-9-
2. Attainment of District Competency Certification from the Superintendent in the third year of employment in curriculum areas specified by the Superintendent shall be on requirement to receive tenure but will not be a guarantee of tenure appointment.
F.EQUIVALENCY CREDITS FOR IN-SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAMS
| Equivalency credits towards the salary guide shall be granted by the Superintendent
of Schools for in-service training experience sponsored by the Board of Education up
to a maximum of three (3) credits for satisfactory completion of each approved training program. |
The number of credits allowed shall be determined prior to enrollment in such courses.
Equivalency credits towards the salary guide shall be granted by the Superintendent
of Schools for educational travel experience under the following conditions:
| 1. | The maximum amount of credit which can be obtained in this category
shall be the equivalent of six (6) semester hours of post graduate training. | | |
2.The Superintendent of Schools shall determine the number of semester
hours equivalent any particular travel experience is worth.
| 3. | To aid the Superintendent of Schools in making the above decision,
the teacher desiring such equivalency credit shall submit, at least
thirty (30) days before departure, a brief outline of the extent of the
proposed travel and the educational values to the teacher. |
4.After completion of the travel experience, the teacher shall submit to
the Superintendent of Schools a brief summary of the trip and its value.

sick leave entitlement may be granted by the Superintendent without deduction of pay
to any employee covered by this Agreement for personal matters that are of such
pressing and immediate importance that they cannot be performed after employment hours.

so indicates that the teacher wishes the reason to remain confidential. The Board
of Education re-affirms the importance and need for confidentiality between
employee and Supervisor.

sickness, personal accident, and quarantine. |

ARTICLE XXV - SAVINGS CLAUSE
Should any provision of this Contract be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
ARTICLE XXVI - REDUCTION-IN-FORCE AND RE-EMPLOYMENT
A. | COVERAGE |
The Parties confirm that the Board of Education has and retains the right to make
reduction-in-force pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:28-9 et seq. and do hereby agree to the
provisions of the Article applicable to tenured and certificated teachers as set forth
in Article I of this Agreement.
| The holder of a provisional certificate shall be entitled to seniority rights but not
over the holder of a standard certificate. The holder of an emergency certificate
shall not be entitled to seniority rights but, when he becomes the holder
of a provisional or standard certificate, the years of employment in the District
under the emergency certificate shall count toward seniority under the provisional
or standard certificate, as the case may be. |
B.DEFINITION
| To the extent not inconsistent with Title 18A:28-9 et seq. and the regulations of the Commissioner of Education, the Parties agree that, for the purpose of this Agreement, "Seniority" shall mean the period of consecutive employment by the employee |
-20-
in the District, including experience in the District in the position from which
he was dismissed by reason of the reduction-in-force.
| Not more than one (1) year of employment may be counted toward seniority
in any one academic or calendar year. Whenever a person shall hold employment simultaneously in two (2) or more categories, seniority shall be counted in the
category in which he spends the greatest percentages of his time. If the percentage
of time spent in two or more categories shall be equal, the person shall be permitted
to elect in which category his seniority shall be counted. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this section, the seniority of a Principal who teaches shall be
counted in the appropriate Principal's category. |
C.RECALL
| An employee dismissed by reason of a reduction-in-force shall be entitled to be
placed and to remain upon a preferred eligible list in order of seniority for
re-employment whenever a vacancy occurs in the position from which such
employee was dismissed; such employee shall be re-employed by the Board
if and when such vacancy occurs. |
D.NOTICE OF RECALL
| Notice of Recall to teachers to which this Article is applicable shall be given
to those teachers on the preferred eligible list by letter to last known address in
order of seniority within a reasonable time (not more than fifteen (15) days) after
such vacancy occurs. Such teachers shall have a reasonable period of time
(but not to exceed thirty (30) days after receiving notice) in which to give the
Board notice of intent to return to the position. |
1. | In the event such teacher shall fail to respond to the notice from the Board
or if the teacher gives notice of non-return to the position, the teacher shall
forfeit all seniority rights. |
2.Seniority shall not be accumulated during the period following dismissal by
reason of reduction-in-force but upon reemployment pursuant to the terms
of this Article, such employee shall have accumulated seniority to the date
of such dismissal reinstated.
| Whenever a teacher to which this Article is applicable is notified that his/her particular employment shall be abolished in a category, he/she shall be given employment in the
category to which he/she is entitled by seniority. | | |
-21-
If the teacher shall have insufficient seniority for employment in the same category,
he/she shall revert to the category in which he/she held employment in the District
prior to his/her employment in the same category and shall be placed and remain
upon the preferred eligible list of the category from which he/she reverted until a
vacancy shall occur in such category to which his/her seniority entitled him.
If a teacher to which this Article is applicable has insufficient seniority in the category
to which he/she shall revert, he/she shall, in like manner, revert to the next category
in which he/she held employment in the District immediately prior to his/her
employment in the category to which he/she shall have reverted, and shall be
placed and remain upon the preferred eligible list of the next preceding category,
and so forth, until he/she shall have been employed or placed upon all the
preferred eligible lists of the categories in which he/she formerly held
employment in the School District.
When the teacher is officially notified in writing by the Superintendent of
Schools of the reduction-in-force as a result of Board action, the Association
will also be sent notification at the same time.
ARTICLE XXVII - PERSONNEL RECORDS
1.
2. | A teacher shall have the right, upon request, to see the contents of his/her
personnel file. A teacher shall be entitled to have a representative
of the Association accompany him/her during such review.
No material derogatory to a teacher's conduct, service, character or personality
shall be placed in his/her personnel file unless the teacher has had an opportunity
to see the material. The teacher shall acknowledge that he/she has had the opportunity
to see such material by affixing his signature to the copy to be filed with the express understanding that such signature in no way indicates agreement with the contents
thereof. The teacher shall also have the right to submit a written answer to such material
and his/her answer shall be reviewed by the Superintendent or his/her designee and
attached to the file copy. |
3.The Board of Education agrees to protect the confidentiality of personal references, confidential academic credentials, and other similar privileged and confidential documents.
-22-
ARTICLE XXVIII - EVALUATION OF STUDENTS
While a teacher has primary responsibility for grading students, an appropriate school authority may revise the grade after the proposed grade change has been discussed with the teacher involved. If the grade should be changed over the teacher's dissent, the student's permanent record shall indicate who made the change. If the teacher does not agree with the grade change, the teacher may then appeal to the Superintendent. The Superintendent shall notify the teacher of his/her decision.
ARTICLE XXIX - SUMMER PAYMENT PLAN
Teachers may voluntarily contribute one-tenth of their contracted salary per month to be placed in a Board of Education account to be held until the last pay period in June, at which time one check shall be issued to the recipient equal to the individual’s own contributions. Any interest accrued shall revert entirely to the Board of Education.
ARTICLE XXX - TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
REIMBURSEMENT TO FIRST MASTER’S DEGREE
The Board of Education agrees to reimburse teachers up the first Master’s degree for tuition cost for courses up to a maximum of nine (9) credits per year, one course per semester or two per summer. In the special circumstance where course scheduling changes beyond the teacher's control would prevent the teacher from completing his/her degree program, the teacher may appeal to the Superintendent of Schools for approval to grant waiver of the three (3) credits per term limitation.
REIMBURSEMENT AFTER THE FIRST MASTER’S DEGREE
Effective July 1, 1999, maximum annual tuition reimbursement after the first Master’s degree shall be nine (9) credits but with applicable salary guide credit limited to six (6) credits per year. Such limitation of applicable salary credit shall apply whether tuition cost is paid by the Board or the teacher. Effective July 1, 1999, salary guide credit shall be limited to six (6) credits per year for all teachers who are at or beyond the attainment of the first Master’s degree. Accumulated credits beyond the six allowance salary credits earned in any one year may not be carried forward for credit in subsequent years. All courses for salary guide credit must be approved by the Superintendent.
Reimbursement for graduate courses shall be at the course tuition rate of institution attended up to the Rutgers University per credit tuition rate.
-23-
All courses must have prior approval of the Superintendent and be in the area of the teacher's classroom instruction or assignment and must be successfully completed for reimbursement. Courses in administrative subjects may be approved. ARTICLE XXXI - SUMMER WORK
Pay for summer work shall be as follows:
Performance of regular duties – 1/200 per diem
(above excludes Board approved Summer School programs)
Presenters of Board approved workshops -- $200 per day
High School Department Coordinators -- $125 per day
Curriculum work -- $125 per day
Child Study Team and Guidance Counselors, authorized to perform regular duties during summer period, are to have option of taking accepted compensatory days during the school year for equal number of days worked during the summer. At time of assignment, the teacher shall indicate his/her choice of compensation of compensatory days option to be taken during the current school year.
ARTICLE XXXII - UNUSED ACCUMULATED SICK LEAVE
Effective July 1, 1997, reimbursement of unused accumulated sick leave at Teachers Pension and Annuity Fund Retirement at the rate of $60.00 per day, for all days accumulated. This shall apply to retirement from active teaching. Deferred retirement is not eligible.
To qualify for payment, retirement must be effective at year-end (June 30) with notification prior to February 15.
Advanced notification requirement shall be waived in case of certified illness or documented emergency.
ARTICLE XXXIII - COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Except as this Agreement shall provide, all proposed new rules and modifications of new rules governing working conditions shall be negotiated with the Association before they are adopted, except as this Agreement may otherwise provide.
-24-
ARTICLE XXXIV - DURATION OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall be effective as of July 1, 2003, and shall continue in effect through June 30, 2006, as the official representatives of the parties hereby attest:
