ARTICLE I

RECOGNITION

    The Frankford Township Board of Education hereby recognizes the Frankford Township Education Association for purposes of negotiations as the representative of full-time and regular part-time teachers, para-professionals, and secretaries. The positions of superintendent, principal, vice-principal, board secretary/business administrator, confidential board secretaries (executive secretary to the superintendent, assistant board secretary, administrative assistant), bus drivers and custodians are specifically excluded from coverage of this Agreement.

    Unless otherwise indicated, the term “teachers,” when used hereinafter in this Agreement, shall refer to all certificated employees represented by the Association. When the term “employees,” is used throughout this Agreement, it shall refer to all individuals represented by the Association.

    ARTICLE II

    GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE


    Purpose
        The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the problems, which may arise from violations of articles or sections of this Agreement. It is agreed that these proceedings will be kept formal and confidential as may be appropriate to any level of the procedure.
        Nothing in this article shall be interpreted as limiting the right of any employee having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with any member of the administration. However, any formal adjustment of a written grievance shall be conducted with the full knowledge of the Frankford Township Education Association, if the aggrieved person so desires.
    Definitions
        A “grievance” shall be construed to be the interpretation, application or violation of policies, agreements, and administrative decisions affecting them.
        An “aggrieved person” is the person or persons making the claim.
        A “party of interest” is the person or persons making the claim and any person who might be required to take action or against whom action might be taken in order to resolve to claim.
    Procedures
        Since it is desirable to all parties that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated should be considered as a maximum and every effort made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be changed by mutual agreement.

      2. Level One
          Any employee who has a grievance shall discuss it first with the Superintendent in an attempt to resolve the matter informally at that level.

          If the aggrieved is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at level one
              he/she shall file his/her grievance in writing with the Superintendent. The response to the written grievance shall be in writing and be given no later than five (5) school days after receiving the grievance.
      3. Level Two
            If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Level One, he may appeal his grievance, in writing, within ten (10) school days, to the Board of Education specifying his reasons for his complaints. Within fifteen (15) school days of the receipt of the appeal of the grievance, the Board of Education will conduct a hearing to provide the aggrieved an opportunity to present his grievance. Within ten (10) school days after the hearing, the Board shall render a decision and notify the aggrieved person(s) in writing. Copies of this decision will be forwarded to the President of the Association, all relevant parties, and the Superintendent of Schools.
      4. Level Three
            If a grievance is not resolved to the employee’s satisfaction within thirty (30) school days, it may be submitted for binding arbitration to a third party. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, a request for a list of arbitrators may be made to the American Arbitration Association. Both the Board and the Association are bound by the arbitrator’s recommendations in settlement of a grievance. Any costs involved for the arbitrator shall be borne equally by both the Association and the Board of Education.

      5. Miscellaneous
            If the Frankford Township Education Association decides that a grievance affects a group or class of employees, it may submit such grievance in writing to the Superintendent directly.
              All decisions rendered beyond Level Two which are unsatisfactory to the aggrieved party, shall be presented in writing setting forth the decisions and reasons for these decisions. These written decisions shall be transmitted promptly to all parties in interest as well as the president of the Association.
                All documents, communications, records and other data pertinent to the processing of a grievance shall be kept in a file other than the personnel file of the participants involved in the procedure.
                  All forms for the filing of grievances, serving notices, taking appeals, making reports and recommendations, and other necessary documents shall be prepared jointly by the Superintendent and the Association and made available to any person or persons wishing to make use of the grievance machinery.
                    In order to prevent the aggrieved person from resolving the grievance by the nature of his actions, administrative directions and the Board Policy shall continue in practice until such time as the grievance is formally resolved.
                      There shall be no reprisals of any kind against any party in interest, member of the Association, or any participant in the grievance procedure, because of involvement in the grievance presented to the administrator or Board of Education.
                        The aggrieved may be represented by someone of his own choosing at any step of the grievance procedure providing he has given prior notice of his intent to the Board of Education.
                  ARTICLE III

                  EMPLOYEE RIGHTS

                    The teacher has the right and responsibility to determine grades within the grading system of the Frankford Township School District based upon his/her professional judgment of available criteria pertinent to any given subject area or activity to which he/she is responsible. Any teacher, whose decision on a student’s grade, promotion, or retention is changed by the administration, shall be notified, in writing, within one (1) working day.
                    No employee shall be disciplined without just cause. Whenever an employee is required to appear before any supervisor for disciplinary action, he/she shall have the right to written notification of the reason for said meeting and shall have the right to have a representative of the Association present.
                ARTICLE IV

                ASSOCIATION RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES

                      Any representative of the Association or any employee, who participates during working hours in negotiations, grievance proceedings, conferences, or meetings initiated by the Board of Education or its representatives, shall suffer no loss in pay.
                      The Association may use school facilities and equipment at reasonable times within the school building, when such equipment is not otherwise in use. The Association shall pay for the reasonable cost of all materials and supplies incident to such use.
                      The Association shall have in the school building the use of a bulletin board in the faculty lounge. The Association may use the board in the Central Office for posting notices.
                      The President of the Association shall not be assigned to any permanent homeroom or any AM or Pm non-teaching hall and bus duties, but may be called upon in an emergency situation.

                                1. The salaries of all Association members are set forth in Schedule “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof, but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement.

                                    Employees may individually elect to have a percentage of their monthly salary deducted from their pay and placed in an interest-bearing account by the Board Secretary.

The member may appeal from such action to the Commissioner under rules prescribed by him.

                                  Other workshops and training experiences may be considered by the Superintendent for inservice credit.

Upon completion of 20 hours of such experience, the employee may, at the Superintendent’s recommendation and the Board’s approval, be granted one inservice credit.

                          Para-professionals and secretaries will notify the Board of any anticipated changes in salary the prior January 15. Any salary changes will be effective in September following successful completion of the courses by the Para-professionals and secretaries.

                              TEMPORARY LEAVES OF ABSENCE

                                  Each year the Board of Education will grant three (3) days for compelling personal reasons with full pay pending approval of the Superintendent upon application thereof. Necessary personal day is construed to mean that such business is essential and will require the presence of the employee on a day school is in session.
                                    Since the application requires approval by the Superintendent, it is incumbent upon the requestor to make known sufficient details of the need for the “necessary personal day” except in those rare circumstances where the nature of the details is such that privacy must be maintained. In the latter case, a written statement that the business is personal and is of “emergency” nature in the context of this policy should be submitted to the Superintendent. Should the request be denied approval by the Superintendent, a written reason will be returned to the requestor.
                                  1. Death in the immediate family five (5) days. (Immediate family to include: mother, father, husband, wife, civil union partner, live in partner of at least two years, sister, brother, grandparents, son or daughter, step parent, stepchildren or the same in-laws).

                                    Death of a current Frankford School Student shall be one (1) day.

                                  EXTENDED LEAVES OF ABSENCE

                                  Maternity
                                    When a teacher is aware that she is pregnant, she shall notify the principal or Superintendent so that plans for her replacement, when necessary, may be made. A teacher who becomes pregnant may remain in her position so long as her condition does not interfere with the efficient and thorough performance of her duties. The Board of Education shall not remove any teacher from her duties on the grounds that her condition prevents her from performing her responsibilities in an efficient and thorough manner unless the teacher cannot produce, at the request of the Board, a written certification from her physician that she is physically capable of performing her responsibilities in an efficient and thorough manner.

                                    A teacher may request a maternity leave of absence due to pregnancy at any time of her choosing.

                                    The period while on maternity leave does not count towards the acquisition of tenure. However, the periods of employment before and after such leave shall be tacked on or added together in computing the period of employment for tenure and salary purposes.

                                    Non-tenured employees are entitled to a maternity leave within the contractual school year in which the leave is obtained. However, the Board may grant leaves for longer periods at its discretion.

                                    The pregnant teacher may, at her own election, use current sick leave and accumulated sick leave for a period of the time she is unable to work due to pregnancy. The normal period of pregnancy disability shall be construed to be up to four weeks before delivery and four weeks following the date of delivery, unless that date is medically contraindicated.

                                    A teacher on maternity leave may return to her position in the school district when mutually agreeable. The period of absence for maternity leave shall not constitute equivalent experience for salary purposes. The teacher returned from maternity leave shall be placed on the appropriate step on the salary guide in accordance with her experience and degree level.
                                  Family Leave
                                    Unpaid family leave of absence will be available to employees according to provisions of CH.261 Laws of 1989 and (FMLA) Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 Title 29, Part 825 of the Code of Federal Regulation.

                                    Unpaid leaves of absence are available, up to 12 weeks in any 24-month period to care for a newborn or adopted child, at any time within one year after the birth or adoption of the child, and to provide care for a seriously ill child, parent or spouse. An eligible employee may be entitled to leave on a consecutive, intermittent or reduced leave schedule depending on factors including the reason for the leave sought.

                                    The Board of Education may require advance notice of a leave and may require that leave be supported by certification issued by a licensed health care provider. At its own expense, the Board may require the employee to obtain a second opinion.

                                    Upon return from family leave, an employee is entitled to be restored to his/her previous position or to an equivalent position of like seniority, status, employment benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employment.

                                    During the leave, the Board will maintain health insurance coverage as if the employee had not taken the leave.
                                  Other Leaves of Absence
                                    Other extended leaves as deemed necessary by the Frankford Township Board of Education, and of the individual, and approved by the Superintendent, may be granted upon written request.

                          A.
                          Health Insurance
                                The School Board shall continue to provide the Health Care Insurance Protection. The Board shall pay the full premium for each employee (and his/her family, if applicable). The insurance protection shall be equal to or better than the NJ State Health Benefits Plan.

                                Health benefits for part-time employees shall be according to guidelines of State Health Benefits Plan.

                                Temporary full time employees must be under contract for a minimum of five (5) months to qualify for health benefits.

Payments will be made on a semi-annual basis, with 50% on December 31 & the balance on June 30.

                                  As a result of a “lifechange” (birth, death, divorce, loss of primary medical benefits) an employee will have the opportunity to enter the medical plan provided by the board but will forfeit the compensation listed above. The employee must first inform the business Office of their situation. As a result of a “lifechange”, the employee may re-enroll in the medical benefits program at any time during the year.

                                  An employee may re-enroll in the medical benefits program without having a “lifechange” during two (2) open enrollment periods.

                            SABBATICAL LEAVES

                            A teacher who has taught at Frankford Township School for at least four (4) full years may apply for a sabbatical leave of absence to pursue a program towards an advanced degree, or to pursue some specific program to bring improvement to his teaching knowledge and technique: Such program must be in the requestors field of teaching responsibilities, outlined in some detail, and an approval of the request will depend upon an evaluation of the probable benefit to the school of the program as outlined and deemed prudent by the Board of Education.

                            Requests for sabbatical leave must be received by the Superintendent, in writing, no later than December 1st and action must be taken on all such requests by February 1st, of the school year preceding the school year for which the sabbatical leave is requested.

                            A teacher with four (4) years or more of service at Frankford Township, but less than seven (7) years whose program has been approved, by the Board, may receive a leave without pay.

                            A teacher with service of seven (7) or more years at Frankford Township School, whose program has been approved by the Board may receive either the full salary to which he would normally be entitled for five (5) months, or one-half (1/2) of his salary for ten (10) months.

                            The recipient of such a grant shall also agree to return to work at Frankford Township School at the time courses are completed.

                            The recipient of such a grant shall sign an agreement to return to Frankford Township School for at least two years after the leave of absence. The agreement shall also specify that if the recipient does not return to Frankford Township School the full amount of the grant will be repaid to the school within two (2) years of the end of the leave. If only one (1) year is served after the leave, one-half (1/2) of the grant shall be repaid within the following year.

                            A recipient who has not fulfilled the agreed to conditions of the sabbatical will repay the total amount incurred by the Board within two (2) years of returning or upon separation from the Frankford Township School District except in the case of death or permanent disability.
                                    Not more than one (1) member of the faculty shall be granted sabbatical leaves in any one (1) year. If there are more applicants than available grants, the probable benefit to the school of the programs proposed will be the basis of selection.

                                    An employee may be considered for an additional leave of absence at the Board’s discretion.

                                    The time that the employee is on leave shall not be counted towards years of service for salary purposes.

                                All evaluation of teachers shall be done openly, with full knowledge of the teacher being evaluated. No eavesdropping, “bugging,” or other hidden surveillance shall be used.

                                Evaluation must take note of special circumstances. The teacher of special education, for example, does not use the same teaching techniques as the teacher in the regular classroom.

                                The teacher shall be given a copy of the evaluation report within two (2) days of the evaluation to allow sufficient time before a conference to study it thoroughly, except in emergencies.

                                The conference shall occur at a mutually agreeable time within five (5) school days of the evaluation. In the event of a legitimate delay, the party requiring the delay shall so inform the other party.

                                No evaluation reports shall be submitted to the central office or otherwise acted upon before the conference between teacher and evaluator.

                                The evaluation report shall include an assessment of:
                                        the strengths of the teacher;
                                        progress the teacher has made since the previous evaluation;
                                        remaining difficulties; if any
                                        specific suggestions on measures the teacher can take to improve his performance in areas where difficulties have been indicated.
                                    No teacher should be asked to sign a blank or incomplete evaluation form.

                                    No material derogatory to a teacher’s conduct, service, character, personality, or reputation shall be placed in the teachers personnel file – including an evaluation report – unless the teacher has first been shown the material and had an opportunity to review it.

                                    To any material prepared for his or her personnel file, the teacher shall have the right to submit a written answer which, after being reviewed by the Superintendent or his or her designee, is attached to the file copy.

                                    The teacher shall have the right, upon request, to review the contents of his or her personnel file and to receive, at Board expense a copy of documents contained therein.

                                    The teacher shall have the right to indicate those documents in his or her personnel file, which he or she believes, are obsolete or otherwise inappropriate to retain. After a review by the Superintendent or his or her designee, such materials shall be destroyed. Disputes over the retention of such documents shall be considered grievances, with action beginning at the Superintendent’s level.

                                    Any evaluation form or its contents shall be treated as confidential information by all persons handling it.

                                    Any evaluation form or its contents shall only be transferred with the written consent of the person evaluated.

                                    Procedures for evaluation shall be developed and/or modified under the direction of the District’s Chief School Administrator in consultation with the Association.

                                    Tuition reimbursement may also be granted secretaries, clerks, and paraprofessionals who have at least three (3) full years of employment in the Frankford School District. Tuition reimbursement shall be made shall be made for those courses, which are job related and are determined to be eligible and approved by the Superintendent prior to course enrollment. Reimbursement will be made up to the rate charged by Rutgers, the New Jersey State University for the category of credit (ie: Undergraduate/Graduate) the employee is pursuing.


                                    A maximum of $45,000 for each year will be allocated for reimbursement of graduate credits, other coursework and workshops for certified staff, secretaries, clerks and paraprofessionals.

                                    REPRESENTATION FEE

                                    Purpose of Fee
                                    If an employee who is eligible to become a member, does not become a member of the Frankford Township Education Association during membership year (i.e., from September 1 to the following August 31) which is covered in whole or in part by this Agreement, said employee will be required to pay a representation fee to the Association for that membership year.

                                    Amount of Fee
                                    Prior to the beginning of each membership year, the Association will notify the Board in writing of the amount of the regular membership dues, initiation fees and assessments charged by the Association to its own members for that membership year. The representation fee to be paid by non-members will be equal to 85% of that amount.

                                    Deduction and Transmission of Fee
                                        Notification
                                          Once during each membership year covered in whole or in part by this Agreement, the Association will submit to the Board a list of those employees who have not become members of the Association for the then current membership year. The Board will deduct from the salaries of such employees, in accordance with paragraph 2 below, the full amount of the representation fee.
                                        Payroll Deduction Schedule
                                          The Board will deduct the representation fee in equal installments, as nearly as possible, from the paychecks paid to each employee on the aforesaid list during the remainder of the membership year in question.
                                        Mechanics
                                          Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the mechanics for the deduction of representation fees and the transmission of such fees to the Association will, as nearly as possible be the same as those used for the deduction and transmission of regular membership dues to the Association.
