Common use of Mentor Assignment Clause in Contracts

Mentor Assignment. 1. From the pool of mentors selected by the selection committee, the Superintendent will assign a trained mentor employee to each Resident Educator hired by the district. 2. Assignments will only be in one-on-one teams, one mentor assigned to one Resident Educator for one school year. 3. In making these assignments the Superintendent will select mentors with the same certificate or job assignment as the Resident Educator, whenever possible. The mentor employee will be selected from the same building as the Resident Educator, whenever possible. This is especially important at the elementary level. In the case of Resident Educator circuit employees, it is important that the mentor is also a circuit employee with the same certification, if possible. 4. If no mentor employees with the appropriate certification are available within a building, the superintendent will assign a trained mentor from that building that has a different licensure. If no mentor employees are available in a particular building, the Superintendent will assign a trained mentor employee from another building. 5. Six weeks after the beginning of the school year, the Resident Educator may request to the Superintendent the reassignment of mentors. The Superintendent will investigate the situation and will reassign the mentor if appropriate. 6. Mentors may also request reassignment to a different Resident Educator six weeks after the beginning of the school year. The Superintendent will investigate the situations and will reassign the Resident Educator if appropriate. If the mentor does not work an entire school year as a mentor, the supplemental pay will be prorated for the period of time actually worked. 7. In the event of illness or emergency during the school year that prevents the mentor from completing the year as a mentor, the Superintendent will assign another mentor to finish the year.
