44-21. Limitations on Paperwork

If the BOARD, principals or other administrators require bargaining unit employees to complete any additional paperwork on a regular basis that is not required by law, whether the work is by paper or electronic, the goal of the BOARD shall be to mitigate the additional paperwork increase by eliminating a commensurate amount of other clerical work or paperwork for bargaining unit employees. In the event that the school PPC and Principal cannot resolve said matter, it shall be referred to strategic bargaining for consideration and resolution.

At the end of each quarter, the Union will identify up to 30 items of paperwork that teachers are currently mandated to complete that they believe are redundant, obsolete or better (more efficiently and effectively) accomplished by other means. The Board will discuss those items with CTU and on those paperwork requirements on which there is agreement that the items are redundant, obsolete or better accomplished by other means, the Board shall eliminate that requirement promptly.
