Available Technology Clause Samples

Available Technology. The primary goal of the School’s available technology is to enrich the learning that takes place in and out of classrooms. In particular, technology offers opportunities for exploration and analysis of academic subjects in ways that traditional instruction cannot replicate. However, certain legal and ethical restrictions apply. Also, the limited supply of both hardware and software requires us to set priorities for use. Academic work for courses always takes priority over any other use of the device equipment. The following is a list of rules and guidelines which govern the use of School devices and network resources.

Available Technology. 20 The District shall provide paraprofessionals in each building with daily access to 21 adequate quantities of current computers, printers, and software necessary for 22 e-mail communications and job-related assignments, with updates 23 commensurate to other building staff.

Annually, at the beginning of each work year, all employees (except 38 Impact Paraprofessionals) shall be credited with an allowance of twelve 39 (12) days with full pay to be used for personal absence from work 40 caused by the employee’s illness, injury, emergencies and illness of an 41 immediate family member (spouse, child, mother, father, sister, brother, 42 grandchild or other household members). For the purpose of this section, 1 an emergency is defined as a problem that has been suddenly 2 precipitated or is unplanned, or where preplanning could not relieve the 3 necessity for the employee’s absence. For employees who begin 4 employment after the start of the first contracted work day, sick leave 5 shall be prorated as follows: the number of days an employee is 6 contracted to work for the remainder of the year divided by the full 7 contract days multiplied by twelve (12) days.

If the final payment is not 13 sufficient to cover the cost of the unearned sick leave, the employee will 14 reimburse the District the full amount owing.
