Common use of PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS Clause in Contracts

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS. 7.1 The Board’s goal is to hire teachers who hold certificates, permits, or vocational authorizations valid for the positions to which they are assigned; who meet the standards required by the RSC and MDE guidelines. The responsibility for being properly certificated to teach in the school district rests solely with the individual teacher. The Board will continue its present practice of informing the teachers of this prime responsibility and the manner in which it may be fulfilled. The Association shall be notified of any such action. The Board agrees that teachers employed by the Board, who hold annual authorizations, shall, as a condition of employment make every attempt to obtain permanent status through recognized work and/or study programs as per MCL 380.1233 and/or MCL 380.1233 (b). 7.2 The Board and the Association agree that affirmative steps must be taken to recruit teachers from various ethnic minority groups.

Part of that experience must be with ethnic minority group members who are educators. Discrimination against applicants for employment or employees of the school district on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, or handicap which does not impair an individual's ability to perform adequately in a particular position or activity is prohibited. 7.3 All substitute teachers employed by the Board shall meet the requirements of the Michigan Certification Code.
