Grievance Cont..Counselor evaluation grievance- Level IIIThis grievance is carried over from last year. A counselor’s evaluation was not followed according to the contract. She was being evaluated by two administrators without being informed. Her goals meeting took place after the deadline. She was given low scores despite having shown that she met the criteria.
Grievance cont…Locke School Wide-Start time/Clocking In: Admin at Locke unilaterally decided to implement a
“Teacher Preparation Time Before School.” They distributed a bell schedule requiring members to be at school 25 minute before the start of school.
AMU filed a grievance. We are currently at the informal level
Dress Code: Locke distributed a gender base dress code to members
during the first week of school. AMU filed a demand to bargain under the notion that
this presented a change in working conditions. We demanded the dress code at Locke follow the dress
code in the Green dot Handbook.
OLD Business
A site rep moved to change the start and end time of AMU Rep Council meetings from 5:00 to 7:00 to 4:30 to 6:30 pm. However, the motion did not pass. All AMU Rep Council meetings will start at 5:00 and end at 7:00.
New Business
The rep council passed a motion enabling AMU to sign an MOU with management that will implement the counselor pilot evaluation for the 2014-2015 school year. This pilot will only be implemented at a select group of schools. Piloting counselors and administrators will have the opportunity to evaluate and provide feedback about the evaluation process throughout the year.
