JOINT COMMITTEE

NOVEMBER 2, 2001
BOARD OFFICE, ROOM B 

IN ATTENDANCE:  A. Jennings, S. Kardon, K. Pino, L. Flynn, S. Gaynor, S.Standel, K. Cornell 

1.   Approval of minutes from Joint Committee of October 4, 2001. 

2.   SICK LEAVE: Approved 2 sick leave requests pending information from both employees about how many days are actually needed. Sandra Standel will get more information. 

3.    PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ATTENDANCE: The State of Michigan requires that all teachers participate in 5 days of professional development every year.  People who are absent for P.D. sessions will have until June 30 of that school year to complete the 30 hours. The District will provide varied and multiple opportunities and there are many options outside of Royal Oak.  Teachers should work with the building principal and Kay Cornell to plan for the make-up.   

4.    MAKE-UP MEETING: January 29, 2002 will be the make-up Tuesday meeting from Sept. 11, 2001. 

5.      PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 2002-03:  The administration is proposing the same 2-day format for October 2002-03.  Curriculum sub-committee will survey the teachers for in-put. 

6.      DISTRICT IN-SERVICE: 

  1. OCTOBER 23, P.M.:  One possible activity was provided to the buildings for follow-up to Ken O’Connor and the break-out sessions.  Many buildings blended that activity into NCA.
  2. SOCIAL SERCURITY NUMBERS FOR SEMS REGISTRATION:  If teachers don’t want to provide SS numbers, they can request an alternate pin number.  Sandra Standel will look into the possibility of teachers using their SEMS number only as their ID number.

7.     ATTENDANCE INITIATIVES:  Discussion of attendance issues and possible attendance initiatives to help solve the problems.  New teachers will be surveyed by the ROEA to see what they think would be incentives. 

8.    PRE-MEETINGS FOR JOINT COMMITTEE:  A few years ago, we agreed that there would be a pre-meeting to review the agenda.  This meeting needs to occur at least 24 hours prior to the meeting so that, if additional information is needed, there is time to gather it.   

9.     QUALITY OF WORKLIFE:  Discussion of time for family illness and FMLA issues.  The ROEA will develop a proposal to  address this issue. 

10. BOND ISSUE: Discussion of up-coming needs and process for having ROEA representation on committees. 

11.  OPENING DAY CEREMONY:  Question about union presidents not being recognized at Opening Day.  There really is no consistent plan for opening day - each is different depending on the circumstances.  The ROEA thinks union presidents should be recognized. 

12.  NEXT MEETING:  December 4, 2001. 

13.  MANDATORY MEETINGS:  All 5th Tuesday meetings have to be approved by Central Office and the union has to be notified.  Administrators will be reminded. 

14.  MLPP MEETING ON NOV. 27 - This meeting is voluntary. 

15.  STAFF DIVERSITY:  We need to continue to increase diversity on our staff. 

16. SEMS SYSTEM:  At the next meeting, there will be clarification about whether or not teachers need to call the building when they are absent. 

RECORDER:  KAY CORNELL
