BETWEEN

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE, COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES,

DISTRICT COUNCIL 5, LOCAL NO. 844 (AFSCME)

REGARDING LABOR MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Labor Management Committee.  The District and AFSCME agree that it is in the best interest of AFSCME and District administrators to meet and discuss areas of concern or ideas for ways to improve what we are already doing.  Therefore, AFSCME and the District will work together, to meet regularly during the school year to discuss relevant work-related issues as needed.  These discussions are intended to address issues quickly by bringing people relevant to the discussion together in a forum to talk.  Either AFSCME or the District can initiate these discussions.  Both parties understand that to limit disruptions at the various work sites, participation in these discussions should be limited to small groups of people.  This forum does not replace negotiations of contractual issues.

Issues that the parties agree to discuss during the term of this agreement include, but are not limited to:

-        Training and Professional Development

-        Internal transfer process

-        Access to technology

-        Continuous and Extended Operations
