PREAMBLE

This document consists of two Agreements, by and between the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional Board of Education (hereinafter the “Board”) and the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional School Employees Association (hereinafter the “Association”) the first Agreement entered into the first day of July 2006 and the second Agreement entered into the first day of July 2007;

WHEREAS, the Board has an obligation, pursuant to Chapter 123, Public Law 1974 to negotiate with the Association as the representative of employees hereinafter designated with respect to the terms and conditions of employment, and

WHEREAS, the parties have reached a complete understanding which they desire to confirm in this Agreement, be it

RESOLVED, in consideration of the following mutual covenants, it is hereby agreed as follows:

Article 1. Recognition

1:1 Pursuant to Chapter 123, Laws of 1974, State of New Jersey, known as “New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act,” The Rumson-Fair Haven Regional Board of Education recognizes the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional School Employees’ Association (hereinafter called the Association) as the exclusive representative for the purpose of collective negotiations concerning the terms and conditions of employment of those employees in the unit composed solely of the following classifications:
      (a) Certificated Classroom Teachers: Full-time and part-time Guidance Counselors, Librarian, School Nurse, Psychologist, Learning Disabilities Specialist, Social Worker, and Coordinator of Educational Technology.
      The above will be referenced as “teachers” throughout the contract, where applicable.

(b) Secretaries (accept the administrative assistant to the Chief School Administrator and administrative assistant to the School Business Administrator/Board Secretary.

(c) Cafeteria workers and custodial workers.

The above will be referenced as “custodial and cafeteria personnel” and “secretaries” throughout the contract, where applicable, but excluding the following from (a), (b), and (c) hereinabove:

Chief School Administrator, Principal, Vice Principal, Director of Instruction and Curriculum, Board Secretary/School Business Administrator, Supervisor, Athletic Director/Trainer, Supervisor of Building and Grounds, Cafeteria Manager, Teacher Aides, Substitute Teachers (Temporary) and Data Processing Coordinator and all other employees of the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional Public Schools not enumerated in the unit described in the inclusion set forth above.

1:2 The term “employee” when used shall apply to all employees identified in (a), (b), (c) of Article 1:1, unless such term is used in an Article applying to just one of the above three categories. Reference to employees shall be deemed to include both the male and female, except when the context clearly limits the intent to one sex, and words used in the singular shall include words in the plural as the text so requires.

Article 2. Successor Agreement; Interpretation of Within Agreement

2:1 This document consists of two Agreements, the first Agreement is for a term of one year effective July 1, 2006 terminating on June 30, 2007 and the second Agreement is for a term of three years effective July 1, 2007 and terminating on June 30, 2010. The parties agree to enter into collective negotiations with respect to a successor Agreement in accordance with Chapter 123 Public Law 1974 in a good-faith effort to reach agreement on matters concerning the terms and conditions of employment of those in the bargaining unit. Such negotiations shall begin no later than December 15, 2009 for a successor Agreement. The Association and the Board shall furnish to each other at the first meeting all of their proposals in written form, subject to such changes in the law as shall occur during negotiations.

2:2 Any agreement so negotiated shall be submitted for ratification by the Association and approval by the Board. If ratified and approved, it shall be signed by the parties.

2:3 The Board agrees that representatives designated or selected by public employees for the purpose of collective negotiation by the majority of the employees in a unit appropriate for such purposes, or by the majority of the employees voting in an election conducted by the Commission as authorized by Chapter 123, shall be the exclusive representatives for collective negotiation concerning the terms and conditions of employment of the employees in such unit. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent any official from meeting with an employee organization for the purpose of hearing views and requests of its members so long as (a) the majority representative is informed of the meeting; (b) any changes covered by the agreement or modification in terms and conditions of employment are made only through negotiations with the majority representative and (c) a minority organization shall not present or process grievances.

2:4 This Agreement shall not be modified in whole or in part by the parties except by an instrument in writing duly executed by both parties.

Article 3. Grievance and Arbitration Procedure

3:1 A “grievance” shall mean a complaint by a member or a group of members of the Association having the same grievance that there has been a personal loss, or injury because of a violation, misinterpretation or inequitable application of Board policy, this agreement or an administrative decision affecting the members of the Association, that there has been a loss or injury sustained by the Association or an individual therein because of a violation, misinterpretation, breach or inequitable application of any right specifically granted to the Association under the terms and provisions of the Agreement. A grievance to be considered under this procedure must be initiated by a member, group of members or the Association (hereinafter “grievant”) within twenty (20) school days from the time when such grievant knew or should have known its occurrence. The parties should make every effort to resolve the matter informally at the appropriate level during this period of time.

3:2 The Association has the right to process grievances on behalf of individual members and to attend hearings. In addition, grievants have the right to be represented by anyone of their own choosing in all steps of the grievance procedure. There shall be, however, only one spokesperson for the grievants at any stage. All parties concerned shall have copies of formal grievances which are filed.

3:3 The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to grievances. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.


3:4 Responsibilities During Grievance Procedure

3:4.1 Failure at any step of this procedure to communicate the decision on a grievance within the specified time limits shall permit the grievant to proceed to the next step. Failure at any step of this procedure to appeal a grievance to the next step within the specified time limits shall be deemed to be acceptance of the decision rendered at that step.

3:4.2 It is understood that all members of the Association shall, during and notwithstanding 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 fully determined.

3:4.3 Where evidence of hardship would result from compliance with the time regulations set forth in the above levels, a written request for an extension of time at any one of the levels in this Grievance Procedure shall be recognized. The period of extension of time shall be limited to a reasonable length of time mutually agreed upon.

3:5 Grievance Procedure

3:5.1 PRIOR TO LEVEL ONE: The grievant and/or the grievant’s representative shall have an informal discussion with the appropriate Administrator for the purpose of resolving the grievance. Discussion shall be a mandatory prerequisite to the formal grievance procedure.

3:5.2 LEVEL ONE: If, as the result of any informal discussions, the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the grievant, the grievant shall set forth the grievance in writing to his principal or such person as shall be designated by the Chief School Administrator specifying the nature of the grievance and the resolution sought. A hearing is desirable and may be requested by either party. The immediate superior or such other person as shall be designated by the Chief School Administrator shall communicate his decision in writing to the grievant within five (5) school days of receipt of the written grievance.

3:5.3 LEVEL TWO: The grievant, no later than five (5) school days after receipt of the decision, may appeal the decision to the Chief School Administrator. The appeal to the Chief School Administrator must be made in writing, reciting the matter submitted to the grievant’s immediate superior with the decision previously rendered. The Chief School Administrator shall attempt to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, but within a period not to exceed ten (10) school days. A hearing is desirable and may be requested by either party. The Chief School Administrator shall communicate his decision in writing to the grievant and the immediate superior.

3:5.4 LEVEL THREE: If the grievance is not resolved to the grievant’s satisfaction, the grievant, no later than five (5) school days after receipt of the Chief School Administrator’s decision may request a review by the Board. The request shall be submitted in writing through the Chief School Administrator who shall attach all related papers and forward the request to the Board within five (5) school days after the receipt by the Chief School Administrator of such request. The Board, or a committee thereof, shall review the grievance and shall hold a hearing with the grievant at the request of either party. The Board shall render a decision in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the receipt of the grievance.

3:6 LEVEL FOUR: Arbitration Procedure

3:6.1 A grievant’s claim shall constitute a grievable matter and be the proper subject of arbitration beyond Level Three in accordance with the procedure hereinafter provided in 3:6.2, etc., provided, however, that no claim shall be arbitrable if it pertains to:

(a) any matter which according to law is beyond the scope of Board authority;
(b) any matter which according to law is limited to action of the Board alone;
(c) any matter for which the sole method of review is prescribed by any rule or regulation of the State Commissioner of Education;
(d) any matter for which the only method of review is one prescribed by law;
(e) the dismissal or failure to renew the contract of a non-tenure teacher; and
(f) a complaint by certificated personnel occasioned by appointment to or lack of appointment to, retention in or lack of retention in, any position for which the tenure is either not possible or not required.

3:6.2 If the grievant is dissatisfied with the decision of the Board and only if the grievance pertains to an alleged violation of this agreement between the Board and the Association, the grievant shall have the right to request the appointment of an arbitrator. Such request shall be made known to the Chief School Administrator by certified mail, receipt returnable, no later than fifteen (15) days after the decision, in writing, of the Board.

3:6.3 A grievant must have a request to process a grievance to binding arbitration accompanied by the written recommendation of the Association for such action. A grievant may be represented by either the Association or by legal counsel of his own choosing; however, there shall be only one spokesperson on the grievance.

A request for a grievance to proceed to binding arbitration shall also be accompanied by a written waiver by the grievant and by the Association of any and all rights to submit the dispute to any other administrative or judicial tribunal. Notwithstanding such written waiver, the grievant shall retain the right to seek judicial enforcement of any arbitrator’s award.

3:6.4 Within ten (10) days after such written notice of submission to arbitration, the Board and the Association shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator. The following procedure will be used to secure the services of an arbitrator:

(a) a joint request shall be made to the Public Employment Relations Commission, to submit a roster of persons qualified to function as arbitrator in the dispute in question.

(b) if the parties are unable to agree upon a mutually satisfactory arbitrator from the list submitted, they will request the Public Employment Relations Commission to submit a second list.

(c) if the parties are unable to agree within ten (10) school days of the initial request for arbitration upon a mutually satisfactory arbitrator from the second submitted list, the Public Employment Relations Commission may be requested by either party to designate an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall limit himself to the issues submitted to him and shall consider nothing else. He can add nothing to, nor subtract anything from, the agreement between the parties or any policy of the Board. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties.

3:7 Cost of Arbitration

3:7.1 Each party shall bear all of his, her, or its expenses incurred in the course of any arbitration proceeding.

3:7.2 The fees and expenses of the arbitrator are the only costs which shall be shared by the two parties and such costs will be shared equally.

3:7.3 Where grievance proceedings are mutually scheduled by the parties during school time, persons proper to be present shall suffer no loss in pay.

3:8 Grievances shall be submitted on the form attached herewith and shall minimally state: name of grievant, date, time, and location of alleged grievance, nature of grievance and relief sought.

3:9 The Board recognizes that an aggrieved member of the Association has a right to file a grievance. The Board states that there shall be no act, conduct, or procedure undertaken by the Board or any member of the administration which shall be in the nature of a reprisal against any member of the bargaining unit who files a grievance, including but not by way of limitation, any assignment of additional duties, any adverse comment in the evaluation of the performance of the grievant or any other action which shall be taken solely as a means of a reprisal. The purpose of the within provision is to express Board policy that a member of the bargaining unit has a right to file a grievance and that no retaliatory action will be permitted against anyone filing a grievance simply because such grievant has exercised the right to grieve.

Article 4. No-Strike Clause

4:1 Both parties recognize the desirability of continuous and uninterrupted operation of the instructional program during the normal school year, and the avoidance of disputes which threaten to interfere with such operation. Since the parties are establishing a comprehensive grievance procedure under which unresolved disputes may be settled, the parties have removed the basic cause of work interruptions during the period of this Agreement. The Association accordingly agrees, during the period of this Agreement, that it will not, nor will any person acting on its behalf cause, authorize, or support, nor will any of its members take part in any strike (i.e., the concerted failure to report for duty, or willful absence from his position, or stoppage of work or abstinence in whole or in part, from the full, faithful and proper performance of the employee’s duties of employment) for any purpose whatsoever.

4:2 Further the Association may be held liable in damages for “wild cat” strikes, unless the Association in writing immediately disavows the strike and notifies the strikers to return to work. In addition, the Board retains all legal rights in remedying strike situation.

4:3 Any strike is a breach of contract and permits the Board to discipline employees taking part in that breach of contract.

Article 5. Retention of Board Rights -- “Management Rights”

5:1 The Board, on its own behalf and on behalf of the taxpayers of the district hereby retains and reserves unto itself, without limitations, all powers, rights, authority, duties, and responsibilities conferred upon and vested in it by the laws and the Constitutions of the State of New Jersey and of the United States, including but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right:

(a) to exercise executive management and administration control of the school system and its properties and facilities, and the activities of its employees.

(b) to hire all employees and subject to the provisions of the law, to determine their qualifications, and the conditions for their continued employment, or their dismissal or demotions; and to promote, and transfer all such employees;

(c) to establish grades and courses of instruction, including special programs, and to provide for athletic, recreational and social events for students, all as deemed necessary or advisable by the Board.

(d) to decide upon the organization of the instructional program, the selection of textbooks and other teaching materials, and the use of teaching aids of every kind and nature with consideration given to the recommendations of teacher.

5:2 The exercise of the foregoing powers, rights, authority, duties and responsibilities by the Board, the adoption of policies, rules, regulations, and practices in furtherance thereof, and the use of judgment and discretion in connection therewith shall be limited only by the specific and expressed terms of this Agreement and then only to the extent such specific and expressed terms hereof are in conformance with the Constitution and laws of the State of New Jersey, and the Constitution and laws of the United States.

5:3 Nothing contained herein shall be construed to deny or restrict the Board in the exercise of its rights, responsibilities, and authority under the New Jersey School Laws or any other national, state, county, district, or local laws or regulations.

5:4 If any provision of the Agreement or any application of this Agreement to any employee or groups of employees is held to be contrary to law, then such provisions 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.

5:5 Nothing in this Agreement which changes pre-existing Board policy, rules or regulations shall operate retroactively unless expressly so stated. The parties agree that members of the Association shall continue to serve under the direction of the Chief School Administrator and in accordance with Board and administrative policies, rules and regulations, provided that the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and prevail over any conflicting provisions.

5:6 It is understood that, under the rulings of the courts of New Jersey and the State Commissioner of Education, the Board is forbidden to waive any rights or powers granted it by law. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing contained in any section, paragraph or subsection of this Agreement shall be interpreted in any manner or be so construed as to indicate that the Board has waived rights which are expressly required by the courts to be retained by the Board.

Article 6. Pledge of Non-Discrimination

6:1 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, assignment, promotion, transfer, or discipline of employees or in the application or administration of this Agreement on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, domicile, handicap or marital status.

Article 7. Employee Evaluation: Employee Rights

7:1 Teaching staff members shall be evaluated annually as prescribed by statute and code. Each evaluation shall be preceded by a pre-evaluation conference per code. The pre-evaluation conference shall discuss the general purpose, goals and objectives of the evaluation. The evaluation shall be scheduled within five (5) school days of the conference. Each evaluation shall be followed by a post-evaluation conference per code.

There must be four (4) formal evaluations annually, two per semester, for non-tenured teaching staff members. There shall be a mid-year written review and conference which shall become part of the annual evaluation. The annual final evaluation for non-tenured teaching staff members shall contain, if appropriate, a specific assistance plan which shall reinforce strengths and provide assistance for weaknesses in performance. The specific assistance plan will be mutually agreed between the teaching staff member and the supervisor.

There must be three (3) formal evaluations annually for tenured teaching staff members. The annual final evaluation for tenured teaching staff members shall contain, if appropriate, a specific assistance plan which shall reinforce strengths and provide assistance for weakness in performance. The specific assistance plan will be mutually agreed between teaching staff member and the supervisor.

The timeline that is attached to APPENDIX C will be in effect for the process of development and distribution of summary evaluation reports with specific assistance plans, with each date being the latest that is acceptable.

Evaluations will be recorded and provided to each teaching staff member.

Informal classroom visits will occur from time to time and, if recorded, will be provided to each teaching staff member.
    Non-teaching staff members shall be observed and evaluated annually. Evaluations will be recorded and a copy provided to the non-teaching staff member.

    7:2 A program of differentiated supervision activities as mutually agreed by the Board and Association may substitute for classroom evaluations of tenured certificated staff members.

    A tenured certificated staff member shall have at least one opportunity to engage in differentiated supervision activities during the term of this contract.

    7:3 An employee shall be given a copy of any class-visit evaluation report prepared by an evaluator at least one (1) day before any conference to discuss it. No such report shall be submitted to the central office, placed in the employee’s file or otherwise acted upon without prior conference with the employee. No employee shall be required to sign a blank or incomplete evaluation form.

    7:4 Any complaint regarding an employee made to any member of the administration by any parent, student, or any other person of which notation is placed in the file shall be promptly called to the attention of the employee. The employee shall be given an opportunity to respond to and/or rebut such complaint and shall have the right to be represented by the Association at any other meetings or conferences regarding such complaint at which disciplinary action may be contemplated by the administration.

    7:5 An employee shall have the right, upon reasonable request, to review the contents of his personnel file and to receive copies therein except for items deemed confidential by the Chief School Administrator.

    No material derogatory to an employee’s conduct, service, character or personality shall be placed in his personnel file unless the employee has had an opportunity to review the material.

    However, should an employee refuse to sign material referred to in this Article, the Chief School Administrator shall invite the President of the Association to witness the fact and the opportunity to affix his signature acknowledging that the opportunity was presented; and said President shall sign to indicate his/her knowledge of the circumstances.

    7:6 The Board agrees that it will negotiate in good faith with the Association the evaluation procedure for tenured and non-tenured teachers which said evaluation procedure shall not be inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education.

    Copies of the evaluation forms used to evaluate employee performance of all employees are attached to this Contract. Set forth in Appendix C hereto.

    7:7 No employee shall be disciplined without just cause.

    7:8 Employees shall be entitled to full rights of citizenship.

    7:9 Upon submitting a request to and obtaining the prior consent of the School Business Administrator, the Association shall be accorded reasonable access to school facilities for meeting, and for use of typewriters, duplication equipment and calculators, subject to the right of the School Business Administrator to assess the Association for any expenses arising out of extraordinary use of such facilities and/or equipment. In addition, the Association shall be permitted to make use of the designated bulletin boards in the teacher’s lunch room, faculty lounges and custodian/cafeteria workers’ locker area for notices pertaining to business of the Association. The use of such facilities and bulletin boards shall be confined to the activities of the Association as they relate directly to the members of the Association.

    Article 8. Sick Leave

    8:1 Ten-month employees will be granted annual sick leave of ten (10) days; twelve-month employees will be granted annual sick leave of twelve (12) days. Unused sick leave will accumulate. New employees will be given credit during the first year of employment for a maximum of thirty (30) days of sick leave acquired in another school district in New Jersey. Teachers who transferred into the District prior to September 1, 1970 shall, upon written request to the Chief School Administrator have an opportunity to transfer such leave accumulated in other New Jersey school districts predating the transferability of such accumulated sick leave, pending certification of such accumulation from districts of former employment.

    8:2 Each employee may establish a family sick leave bank through the accumulation of unused personal days to a maximum of seven (7) days. At the end of each school year, the employee may transfer, at his/her discretion, up to three (3) unused personal days into the family illness bank, to create a maximum of seven (7) available days for the next school year. Unused personal illness days when transferred to create a family illness bank shall transfer at the rate of two (2) family illness days for each unused personal day. Any unused personal days that are not transferred to the family illness bank will accumulate as unused sick leave. The maximum number of days that may be included in the available family illness leave bank is seven (7). Staff will receive two (2) family illness days in their first year of employment which, if not used, will not be carried over to the next year.

    8:3 Upon retirement from professional service and after a minimum of fifteen (15) consecutive years of employment in the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School, teachers, secretaries, custodians, and cafeteria workers shall be compensated, within the limitations set forth below, for accumulated, unused sick days. The purpose of such compensation shall be the recognition of regular attendance.

    The following provisions shall be used by the Board to determine the amount of individual compensation.

    (a) Compensation shall be at the following rates for teachers to a maximum of 250 days:
    Accumulated days 0-100 paid at $35 per day
    Accumulated days 101-150 paid at $40 per day
    Accumulated days 151-200 paid at $45 per day
    Accumulated days 201-250 paid at $50 per day
        (b) Compensation shall be at the following rates for custodians, cafeteria workers and secretaries to a maximum of 250 days:
    Accumulated days 0-100 paid at $20 per day
    Accumulated days 101-150 paid at $25 per day
    Accumulated days 151-200 paid at $30 per day
    Accumulated days 201-250 paid at $35 per day
        (c) Approved compensation shall be subject to prevailing withholding and social security taxes.

    8:3.1 Association members planning retirement who qualify for compensation for unused sick leave accumulation shall notify the Chief School Administrator in writing not later than one hundred-eighty (180) calendar days preceding the effective date of retirement, except that the minimum notice may be waived at the discretion of the Board. Compensation shall be paid no later than forty-five (45) calendar days following the effective date of retirement.

    8:3.2 Provided that such procedure is not in violation of any federal or state law or regulation and does not impose any greater liability on the District, members may elect not to receive such compensation in one lump payment, but rather may authorize the District to retain such amount in such account as the District deems appropriate; from such account, the District shall be authorized to make payments on behalf of the retired members for the maintenance of the benefits provided for under Article 14.2 and 14.3. In no event shall the District be obligated to make such payments in a total amount greater than the lump payment at the time of retirement. The notice of election hereunder shall be given to the School Business Administrator not less than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of retirement. The amount of the lump sum payment less any payments for benefits hereunder may be received by the members during retirement upon written notice of the teacher to the School Business Administrator; the District shall make payment to the member of the unpaid balance within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice.

    Article 9. Personal Leave

    9:1 Employees will be granted three (3) personal days without explanation during each school year. One of the three days may not be taken on a sensitive day (those days which fall before or after a holiday or vacation). Requests for such leave must be made in writing at least one (1) week in advance of the intended day. Where possible, responses shall be provided within three (3) school days of the request. In case of emergency, an employee may use his/her personal days without required notification. No more than (6) employees shall be on personal leave on a given day.

    Unused personal days may be converted to family illness days consistent with Article 8:2. Any unused personal days that are not transferred to the family illness bank, as set forth in Article 8:2 will accumulate as unused sick leave.

    Upon the exhaustion of contracted personal leave entitlement, additional time may be granted for good cause and at the discretion of the Chief School Administrator.

    Personal leave days shall be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Personal leave for bereavement will be granted at the discretion of the Chief School Administrator.

    9:2 Other than for reasons of illness, maternity, child adoption, and child care as hereinafter provided in article 10 (Leaves of Absence), request for personal leave shall be submitted in writing to the Chief School Administrator who has the authority to permit such personal leave with full salary deduction with such employee bearing as well the cost of such medical, hospital and dental benefits as hereinafter provided.

Nothing in the notification shall in any way supersede or conflict with this collective agreement between the Board and the Association.

These sessions shall be scheduled either before or after the end of the school day at the teacher’s discretion. These sessions shall be scheduled in no less than thirty (30) minutes blocks of time and no more than sixty (60) minutes blocks of time. Teachers shall post the schedule in their plan books. Teachers shall also make the schedule available to the students by posting the schedule in the classroom at the end of the school day every Thursday for the following week. The ninety (90) minutes each week will be reduced by thirty (30) minutes when it is not a five day school week.

        21:2 The school day for certificated staff shall be seven (7) hours, 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. except the Board may, with proper notice, begin the day 10 minutes earlier and/or finish the day 10 minutes later except these changes will be within the timetable of the agreed upon seven (7) hours. The student day and the work day for certificated members shall be seven (7) hours and shall be scheduled by the Board, at its discretion, including, but not limited to classroom teaching, non-teaching assignments, classroom preparation time, and lunch provided, however, that the teachers shall be allowed a minimum of forty (40) minutes for lunch and forty (40 ) minutes for class preparation per work day.

Non-academic teachers may be assigned to their individual lab/workshops in lieu of a designated learning center and will not receive additional compensation.

        Teachers assigned to learning centers or labs/workshops are not undertaking additional instructional period. They will be available to consult with and to provide assistance to students who either voluntarily attends or who are assigned to these centers for periods of time.

        The parties recognize that it is not in the best interest of the school for a teacher to have two identical non-instructional duty assignments. Every effort will be made to avoid this occurrence.

On those days the student day will begin at the regular time of 7:40 a.m. and will conclude at 12:07 p.m. The professional growth activities will be scheduled to begin at 12:15 p.m. and to conclude at 2:45 p.m. No special lunch time will be provided because each participant will have had a lunch period of 27 minutes scheduled during the shortened student day. Each of these days will provide two and one-half hours of professional growth credit.
            (c) The four (4) full days and two half-days of professional growth will be scheduled in addition to the twenty days for meetings that are permitted by Article 21:5 of this Agreement.

When a secretary believes that snow or other emergency conditions prevent reporting to work, the employee will notify the Chief School Administrator or his designee and will request approval not to report for duty without loss of pay or benefits. Reasonable judgment shall be exercised in considering the request.

        23:7 The Christmas recess declared by the Board as part of the annual calendar will be non-work days for all secretaries. Secretarial staff shall be permitted to have five (5) continuous days of vacation in either February (calendar winter break) or April (calendar spring break). When the school calendar does not provide a full week’s vacation in February, it is understood that secretarial staff members opting for a winter vacation shall have five (5) continuous work days off that include the days the high school is closed to students. It is agreed that the secretaries will create a schedule that provides daily coverage in both the Main Office and the Guidance Office during the vacation weeks. Should Good Friday be included in the spring break, secretaries on vacation during that week shall be granted one additional day to be scheduled by mutual agreement with the staff member’s immediate supervisor.

        23:8 Vacation schedule for twelve-month secretaries is as follows:
        1-10 years of employment 2 weeks
        11-14 years of employment 3 weeks
        15-up years of employment 4 weeks

        Vacation shall be earned during the first year of employment at the rate of 5/6 days per month.
        No vacation is to be taken during the first year of employment until July 1.

        Approval of vacation or any other leave (except sick leave) must be obtained from the Chief School Administrator or his designee. Twelve-month secretaries are urged to request all or part of earned vacation during the last two weeks of July. Secretaries who request vacation leave shall receive notification of approval/disapproval of their request within five (5) work days of submission of request.

        23:9 Secretaries are eligible for sick leave at the rate of one day per month of service.

        23:10 Up to three secretarial and/or technical courses (which may be taken at a college) shall be reimbursed annually by the Board provided that:

        (1) Prior approval is granted by the Chief School Administrator. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        (2) A grade of satisfactory or better is received.

        23:11 Secretaries employed in the summer (exclusive of twelve month secretaries) and temporary (substitute) secretaries employed during the school year shall be reimbursed at the rate of fourteen ($14.00) dollars per hour.

        Article 24. Volunteer Clubs

        24:1 Volunteer clubs or activities shall be considered for approval in accordance with the following procedure:
            1. A staff member with Association approval shall apply to the Superintendent for consideration and recommendation to the Board for approval of the volunteer club.
            2. In the absence of an application by a staff member, the Superintendent may consider and recommend a Volunteer Club to the Board for approval. The advisor’s position shall be posted.
            3. After the Volunteer Club has continued for two years, the Superintendent shall review and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether the Club shall become a paid position.

        Article 25. Association/Administration Liaison Council

        25:1 In order to provide a safe, secure and educationally sound teaching and learning environment at the Rumson-Fair Haven High School, the Association and the Board agree to develop an Association/ Administration Liaison Council. The purpose of the Council shall be to discuss issues of mutual concern.

        The Council shall convene at least three times a year. The Superintendent and Association President shall mutually develop an agenda prior to each meeting.

        The Council shall consist of six members. The Superintendent shall appoint three and the Association President shall appoint three. Individual members of the Council may be substituted depending upon the issue.

        1. The Council shall encourage input from the school community.

        2. The Council may establish study committees for specific projects which shall report their findings to the Council.

        3. The Council shall present its recommendations to the Superintendent for consideration and possible action.

        4. The council shall submit written reports to the Board periodically.
          5. The Board retains the final right of approval or rejection of any recommendations

            Head and assistant coaches move one step in each year of the Agreement. Regardless of the number or type of coaching positions held, movement on the salary guides shall be limited to one step over the previous year and shall only occur at the beginning of each contract year. Coaches moving from an assistant coaching position to a head coaching position, or vice versa, will be credited for experience laterally on the salary guides. Upon reaching the 20th year of in-district coaching in a given sport, a coach will receive a $300 longevity stipend.

            Credit for coaching experience outside of the district will be at the discretion of the Chief School Administrator as recommended by the Athletic Director.
