1. Priority of payments to eligible employee:

1. Retiring employees who provide the earliest written notice to the Board during the year of retirement shall be given priority for payment. Further priority positions shall be established in accordance with the date of notification.

1. Should the number of retirements in any given year result in exhaustion of the allocated amount and in the event of equal time of applicable notice, seniority within the District will determine priority for payment in the year of retirement.

1. Should the allocated amount be depleted in any given year, those applicable eligible employees who have not been paid shall be given priority status in all subsequent years until fully paid.

1. Death Benefits – Following notification to the Board of the employee’s intention to retire and prior to receipt of payment due under the provisions hereof in accordance with the criteria of this Article, in the event of the death of the employee, any payment to be made on June 30 of any given year shall be made to the estate of the deceased employee. In the event of the death of an employee who has completed at least 15 years of service in the District, the Board shall pay the employee’s estate a sum for the accumulated sick leave days in accordance with the above.

1. Health and Hospitalization Insurance Coverage

1. Enrollment of all eligible employees desiring coverage shall be in the District’s Health Insurance Plan.

2. The Board shall pay 100% of the present costs of the aforementioned plan for the employee and his or her eligible dependents upon making the request and subject to and in accordance with the provisions as set forth in paragraph 3. No substitute coverage will be provided by any other carrier that affords benefits that are inferior to the present coverage.

3. Effective enrollment date is subject to the rules and regulations of the provider. The Board of Education is absolved of all responsibility of coverage from the initial employee request for coverage until the effective date of coverage.

4. The Board of Education reserves the right to determine the insurance carrier and guarantees the coverage to be equal to the coverage under the New Jersey Public and School Employees Health Benefits Program.

1. Employees who have no other comprehensive insurance shall not be permitted to waive coverage.

1. Employees who have initially waived coverage and then need to re-enroll in the district’s plan shall be covered by the district at the next available enrollment period without lapse in coverage. It shall be the employee’s obligation to notify the District’s Board Secretary/Business Administrator of the pending loss in coverage due to a change in status relative to availability of comprehensive insurance coverage.

1. Should the employment status of such employee change, there shall be a pro-rata payment based upon the time elapsed in the plan. Should such separation of employment be due to death, his/her estate shall receive such pro-rata payment.
8. Effective July 1, 2009, the period for waiving is changed because of the carrier change to the SEHBP. Employees wishing to waive any insurance for the period from July 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, shall be provided the form to do so before July 1, 2009. The payment for this six month period shall be 30% of the applicable premium in effect during that period. Waivers of insurance beginning with January 1, 2010, shall be on a calendar year basis. All other provisions of E. remain in effect.

1. Support staff employees who work over 30 hours per week shall be entitled to insurance coverage under Article 15, to leaves of absence under Articles 11, 12, 13, and 14 and to longevity.

3. Support staff employees who work fewer than 25 hours per week shall be entitled to one (1) personal leave day.

4. The following employees shall continue to receive prescription coverage, whether or not they work more than 25 hours:

Kathy Harven

5. Cafeteria worker Helen Haines, long-term employee of the district, shall continue to receive full benefits as defined in G.1. with the exception of longevity.

I hereby request and authorize the above named disbursing officer to deduct from my earnings an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of those yearly membership dues as certified by the organization indicated in equal monthly payments for all or part of the current school year and for succeeding school years. I understand that the disbursing officer will discontinue such deductions only if I file such notice of withdrawal as of the January 1^st next succeeding the date on which notice of withdrawal is filed. I also agree that upon termination of employment, the disbursing officer shall deduct any remaining amount due for the current school year. I hereby waive all right and claim for paid monies so deducted and transmitted in accordance with this Authorization, and relieve the governing board and all of its officers from liability therefore.

I designate the Lumberton Township Education Association to receive dues and distribute according to the organizations indicated.

1. Each of the associations named shall certify to the Board, in writing, the current rate of its membership dues. Any Association which shall change the rate of its membership dues shall give the Board written notice prior to the effective date of such change.

1. Additional authorizations for dues deduction may be received after August 1^st under rules established by the State Department of Education.

1. The filing of notice of an employee’s withdrawal shall be prior to December 1^st and become effective to halt deductions as of January 1^st next succeeding the date on which notice of withdrawal is filed.

1. Purpose of Representation Fee

Effective July 1, 1998, if an employee included under the provisions of Section A, Paragraph 1, Article 1 does not become a member of the Association during any membership year which is covered in whole or in part by this Agreement, said employee shall be required to pay a representation fee to the Association for that membership year. The purpose of this fee will be to offset the employee’s per capita cost of services rendered by the Association as majority representative.

1. Amount of Representation Fee

1. Notification

Prior to the beginning of each membership year, the Association shall notify the Board in writing of the amount of regular membership dues, fees, and assessments charged by the Association to its own members for the membership year. The representation fee to be paid by non-members shall be determined by the Association in accordance with the law.

1. Legal Maximum

In order to adequately offset the per capita cost of services rendered by the Association as majority representative, the representation fee should be equal in amount to the membership dues, fees, and assessments charged by the Association to its own members. The representation fee has been set at 85% of that amount solely because that is the maximum presently allowed by law. Should the law be changed in this regard, the amount of that representation fee automatically will be increased to the maximum allowed, said increase to become effective as of the beginning of the Association membership year immediately following the effective date of the change.

1. Reduction and Transmission of Representation Fee

1. At the beginning of each membership year covered in whole or in part by this Agreement, the Association in conjunction with the Board Secretary shall establish a list of those eligible employees who have not become members of the Association for the then current membership year. The Board shall deduct from the salaries of such employees in accordance with Paragraph 2 below, the full amount of the representation fee and promptly shall submit the amount so deducted to the Association.

2. Payroll Deduction Schedule

The schedule for the deduction of representation fees and the transmission of such fees to the Association will be the same as those used for the deduction and transmission of regular membership dues to the Association.

3. Changes

The Association shall notify the Board in writing of any changes in the list provided for in Paragraph 1 and/or in the amount of the representation fee.
4. New Employees

On or about the last day of each month, beginning with the month this Agreement becomes effective, the Board shall submit to the Association, a list of all employees who began their employment in a bargaining unit position during the preceding 30 day period. The list shall include names, job titles, and dates of employment for all such employees.

1. Employees shall be evaluated annually by their immediate supervisors. A conference shall be held to discuss the evaluation. When appropriate, the supervisor shall identify any deficiencies and offer assistance for correction.

1. No material derogatory to an employee’s conduct, service, character, or personality shall be placed in his/her personnel file unless the employee has been given the opportunity to review the material and attach a written answer.

1. This Agreement constitutes Board policy for the term of said Agreement, and the Board shall carry out the commitments contained herein and give them full force and effect as Board policy.

1. If any provision of this Agreement or any application of this Agreement to any employee or groups of employees is held to be contrary to law, then such provision or application shall not be deemed valid and subsisting, except to the extent permitted by law, but all other provisions or applications shall continue in full force and effect.

1. The Board and the Association agree that there shall be no discrimination, and that all practices, procedures, and policies of the school system shall clearly exemplify that there is no discrimination in the hiring, training, or in the application or administration of this Agreement on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, natural origin, sex, domicile, or marital status.

1. All Support Staff shall receive written notification of assignment by July 31^st, subject to change.

1. All teachers shall be given posted notice of their grade level and subject assignments, building and room assignments for the forthcoming year by close of school. Notice shall be accomplished by posting the assignments in each school building. All teachers that have been transferred from one grade level to another shall receive independent written notice of the transfer. Such grade level and/or assignments may be subject to change if enrollment dictates such change. If changes are made, notification shall be sent to those teachers affected and shall be post marked no later than July 31^st, unless new information arises or unforeseen circumstances occur thereafter.

1. Any known vacancies for represented positions shall be posted in the main office of each school building during the school year. Known vacancies shall be identified on a call-in answering machine during the summer months.

1. The Lumberton Township Education Association shall not participate or assist in strikes, sanctions, work slowdowns, or in any effort that will impair or disrupt the daily operation of the school.

1. Teachers who are required to write and/or modify IEP’s (Individual Education Plan) shall be provided one (1) day’s release time (or time equal to working hours) annually for this purpose.

For approved school related business, anything above employees’ daily mileage to and from work shall be compensated at the prevailing mileage allowance permitted by the Internal Revenue Service.

Employees attending approved school related business shall receive 100% reimbursement for tolls and parking fees. Any additional expenses must have the prior approval of the Superintendent.

1. At the Florence L. Walther School, such assignments shall continue to be made on a volunteer basis. If no volunteers are forthcoming, assignment shall be made by the Administration on a weekly, rotating basis.

1. At the Bobby’s Run School, the professional staff, as a group, shall have the option to have non-instructional duties scheduled on either a fixed or a rotating basis.
