RECOGNITION OF THE UNION 1. The BCPSEA recognizes the BCTF as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for the negotiation and administration of all terms and conditions of employment of all employees within the bargaining unit for which the BCTF is established as the bargaining agent pursuant to PELRA and subject to the provisions of this Collective Agreement.
PROTECTION OF TEACHERS A. Any case of assault upon a teacher by a student or parent shall be promptly reported to the Board or its designated representative. The Board shall promptly render all reasonable assistance to the teacher in connection with handling of the incident by law enforcement and judicial authorities. Time lost by a teacher in connection with such an incident shall not be charged against the teacher. B. The Board recognizes its responsibility to give reasonable support and assistance to teachers with respect to the maintenance of control and discipline in the classroom. Whenever a teacher determines that a particular student requires the attention of special counselors, social workers, law enforcement personnel, physicians, or other professional persons, such determination shall be promptly called to the attention of the administration. C. Reasonable support and assistance to teachers shall also include protection from liability from students and/or parents in cases of student misuse of the district’s electronic resources. The Association shall notify the Board of any intentional written, verbal, or physical act communicated through the district’s electronic resources in order for the Board to take appropriate action. D. The Board, with the advice of the Association Executive Committee, shall promulgate rules and regulations setting forth the procedures to be used in disciplining, suspending, and expelling students for misbehavior and other infractions of school rules and policies. Such rules and regulations shall define and classify such infractions. Such rules and regulations shall be distributed to students, teachers and parents at the beginning of each school year. The Association shall annually be encouraged to review such rules and regulations and propose policy changes for the improvement of the Code of Conduct. E. A teacher will have the right to review the contents of all records of the district pertaining to said teacher, excluding original references, originating after initial employment and to have a representative of the Association accompany him to such review. No material originating after initial employment will be placed in his personnel file unless the teacher has had an opportunity to review the material and has been furnished with a copy thereof. The teacher may submit a written notation regarding any material and the same shall be attached to the file copy of the material in question. If the teacher believes the material to be placed in his file is in error, he may receive adjustment provided cause is shown through the grievance procedure, whereupon the material will be corrected or expunged from the file. If the teacher is asked to sign material placed in his file, such signature shall be expressly understood as indicating his awareness of the material, but in no instance shall said signature be interpreted to mean agreement with the content of the material. Any disagreement shall be noted. All recommendations, written or oral, shall be based solely upon the contents of the teacher's personnel file. Master personnel files for all teachers will be maintained in the office of the Superintendent. Duplicate files may be maintained by supervisory personnel as an administrative convenience. However, it is expressly agreed that such duplicate files shall be maintained in all respects in strict conformity with the provisions of this Section of this Agreement.
Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
