P3B Contract Language
ARTICLE 33-SCHOOL CALENDARS
The matter of the school calendar for each contract year shall be a matter of discussion between bargaining unit members and appropriate school administrators. The school administrators will meet with CSEA-designated bargaining unit members of the faculty prior to the conclusion of the school year and prior to the preparation of the school calendar. The administrators will give consideration to the recommendations made by unit members, but reserve the right to make such decisions as deemed necessary regarding such matters. The school calendars for positions with community-based or non-classroom assignments may be at variance with the facility school calendar in order to meet program needs.
Historical Background
For the 2007-2008 School Year through the 2011-2012 School Year the April recess was a choice between two (2) specific weeks in the month, beginning with the 2012-2013 the choice is between three (3) specific weeks.
The Union’s recommendation was to keep the April Recess the same (choice between three (3) specific weeks) and add a choice between two specific weeks to the August recess.
USD #1 Administration provided a counter offer of returning the April recess to a choice between two (2) specific weeks in the month while agreeing to a choice between two specific weeks for the August recess.
