EMJ and District negotiators recently agreed upon new Unrequested Leave of Absence language (ULA). During contract negotiations it was decided that both parties would settle the contract, but complete the ongoing ULA discussions at a later date. Upon agreement of new ULA language, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would be created and signed to ensure that the new ULA language would be put in place through the 2019-2021 contract cycle. Beginning with the 2021-2023 Master Agreement, the new ULA language will take the place of the old language.

8.7. Review and Act on Directing Administration to Make an Application to the Minnesota Department of Education for a Flexible Learning Year Calendar
Description:
All ISD 717 staff members were surveyed and the majority indicated a desire to apply for a flexible learning year. This majority didn't want a full week spring break added back to the calendars.
All ISD 717 and St. John's parents/guardians also were given the opportunity to complete a survey. The majority indicated a desire to apply for a flexible learning year, but also indicated that they would like to see a full week spring break built in. By law, districts have the opportunity to apply to the MDE for a flexible learning year for up to three (3) years. We have the option of applying for 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 or we also can limit our application to just some of those years. The board is being asked to review the survey data, the blank flexible learning year application, and decide on the parameters in which the district will apply. The board may also choose not to direct administration to apply for a flexible learning year. |
