[aisle] Librarians in the Contract

Wed Apr 27 10:13:26 CDT 2022

Here's verbiage from our contract, as it applies to the librarian:
(negotiations are coming up... so. this is all good information) thanks for
sharing, All.

Section 3. Compensation Rate for Duties Beyond the Regular School Year for
Specified Teachers Psychologists, speech-language clinicians, learning
disabilities diagnosticians, librarians, counselors, licensed certified
school nurses, social workers and cooperative work coordinators who offer
to perform and are selected for duties beyond the regular school year will
be compensated at the hourly rate of $45.00.

Section 4. Summer Rate of Pay for Specified Teachers Any psychologist,
speech-language clinicians, learning disabilities diagnosticians, librarians,
counselors, licensed school nurses, social workers and cooperative work
coordinators required to perform their regular duties during the summer
shall be paid a pro rata per diem based on a seven (7) hour day (subject to
a minimum of $45.00 a hour)

Memo of Understanding: Specialist Task Force (Article V Section 5) In an
effort to achieve parity between elementary specialists, the Board and BEA
agree to continue to convene the Specialist Task Force. This task force
will address concerns about the scheduling of specialist Teachers. The
primary concern the Specialist Task Force will address is that students
with a special on Monday or Friday miss approximately seven weeks of
curriculum because of school holidays and Institute Days. There is
currently limited flexibility within the schedules of specialist Teachers
to make up classes for those students. The Specialist Task Force has
developed a set of recommendations which will be forwarded to the Resource
Allocation Committee. The Specialist Task Force is composed of art
Teachers, music Teachers, librarians, physical education Teachers, district
administrators and principals. This task force will address these concerns
about the scheduling of specialist 63 Teachers. The Specialist Task Force
will forward its staffing recommendations to the Resource Allocation
Committee for consideration during the budget process.
