Common use of Stipend Positions Clause in Contracts

Stipend Positions. On an annual basis, the Superintendent will post a list of teacher leadership positions that the district wishes to fill for the upcoming school year. All appointments are for one year only. The Association recognizes that the Superintendent has the right not to fill any of these stipend positions in any year due to budgetary constraints, and the parties agree that any position delineated in this article can be eliminated at any time. The Superintendent may add positions providing compensation for such positions align with the other positions included in this article. The Superintendent will discuss the establishment of such position(s) with the Co-Presidents of the Association. See Stipend Scale contained in Exhibit D. 27.1 TEAM LEADERS Building-based Team Leaders will be appointed for each grade level preschool through grade 8 and the Specialist Teams and will receive a stipend according to the stipend scale. When existing stipend positions have been filled by the same person for three or more years, the Superintendent and Principals will incorporate the value of rotating new leadership into stipended positions against the value of accumulated experience. Team Leaders report to the Principal/Preschool Coordinator. Student Services Team Leaders will be appointed on each campus unless a student services department member functions in the role as a grade level team leader. When a student services member is appointed as a Student Services Team Leader, the stipend will be adjusted to reflect the absence of team meeting facilitation.
