Organization of the school system Our school system is governed by a nine-member, elected Board of Education. The board usually meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month for an action session. Board members’ names and contact information are listed on page 30.

The daily operations of the school system are supervised by Superintendent Don Martin and his staff.

We are proud of our success with our students. Our schools prepare them for admission to top colleges and desirable !"#$%&'%(")*+&"'*,%-.,/$0%1.%2,*).%$2.)&*,%emphasis on at-risk students, services for exceptional children, opportunities in the arts and overall instructional quality.

Drug-free workplaceBy Board of Education policy, the school system is a drug-free workplace. You must not possess, use, sell, or be under +7.%&'89.').%":%*';%*,)"7",&)%#.(.5*3.%or prohibited substance while you are at work or on duty. Prohibited substances include but are not limited to liquor, beer, wine, wine coolers and other alcoholic and mixed beverages, speed, ice, pheno-barbital, LSD, quaaludes, codeine, heroin, morphine, PCP, steroids, marijuana, cocaine and crack.

You may use prescription drugs as au-thorized by your doctor.

If you violate this policy, you will usu-ally be asked to participate in an alcohol or drug abuse rehabilitation program. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, however, you may receive disciplinary action ranging from a written reprimand to dismissal from your job.

You must report any conviction of a drug-related offense to your immediate $92.5(&$"5%4&+7&'%-(.%/*;$0

Transportation personnel who use alcohol or drugs on the job will be recommended for dismissal.

School bus drivers, activity bus driv-ers, driver-education teachers and some transportation employees may be tested for drugs and alcohol at any time without cause.

Employees may not operate a school vehicle or perform any safety-sensitive function within 8 hours of using alcohol or such time that alcohol or controlled substances remain in the employee’s system.

Anyone who is convicted of or pleads guilty or no contest to an impaired-driving violation is subject to discipline, up to and including dismissal.

(P & AR 4116.3)

Pre-employment checksBefore you are employed, you must show proof of citizenship or resident alien sta-tus, and have a drug test, criminal back-ground check and health examination.

215-day or 12-month?All employees receive the same holi-days. Whether you work for 215 days, 12 months, or somewhere in between affects when you are paid and when you can or must take annual leave.

Teachers and many other school-system employees work for 215 days. The 215-day calendar includes 180 student days, 11 holidays, 10 annual leave days and 15 professional days.

Duty-free assistants work only the 180 student days. Bus drivers and hourly food service staff have separate calendars that include 180 student days, 11 holidays and 10 annual leave days.

Food service workers also have two start-up/clean-up work days. Bus drivers have two days for staff development.

If an employee has been on educational/professional leave for less than 12 weeks, he or she will be reassigned to the same school, program, work location and position on his or her return.

An employee who has been on leave for more than 12 weeks but less than one year is entitled to the same or an equivalent position but it may not be in the same school, program, work location or position.

Teachers should note that in order to at-tain career status, they must have been employed for four consecutive years and have a clear license. A leave of absence might break their consecutive employ-ment. (P 4150.6)

Job sharingJob sharing allows two part-time em-ployees to perform the work required to do one full-time job. A school may use this option to accommodate its needs.

In job-sharing situations, two employees share a position equally, with options including a split-day schedule, split-week schedule, alternating weeks and alternat-ing instructional units. To request a job-sharing arrangement, please complete the job-sharing request form available from Human Resources and the school system’s Web site.

(P and AR 4115.3 )

What if it snows?In general, these are the rules for snow days. Exceptions may be necessary.

Twelve-month employees: Twelve-month employees are expected to report to work. They may choose not to report to work due to hazardous travel condi-tions and take a day of annual leave, make up the day or make up lost time due to tardiness.

Instructional school-based personnel and others who work fewer than 12 months: Look for one of two announce-ments in the media:

WS/FC schools are closed: Do not report

to work. The day will be made up on a designated makeup day, as marked by a 3#'/?)0"%'#%$9"%2)1"#+)(%'#%$9"%6)20%cover of this book. Occasionally, a profes-sional day may be designated a makeup day. In that case, the professional day will be rescheduled for an annual leave day later in the school year. Information on makeup days is available from supervi-sors, in school-system publications, and on the school system’s Web site.

If the number of days missed exceeds the number of annual leave days built into the calendar, the days may be made up by adding days to the calendar at the end of the school year.

WS/FC schools are closed – Optional Workday: Most employees are expected to come to work as if the day was a profes-sional day. A professional day later in the school year will become a student day.

Bus drivers and monitors, crossing guards and food-service workers who are paid hourly do not come to work on an optional workday. They will be expected to work when students make up the day.

Employees may choose not to report to work due to hazardous travel conditions and take an annual leave day or make up the day later in the year.

If you have questions about whether you are expected to work on an optional workday, please ask your supervisor or read AR 4151.7 on the WS/FCS Web site.

If a reserved professional day is canceled due to hazardous conditions:

Instructional personnel and other staff employed for less than 12 months do not report to work. The day will be made up or you may take a day of annual leave.

If part of a day is canceled:

If severe weather develops during the day, a decision could be made to cancel school after buses already have completed their middle school routes. Such a decision would be made before 7:30 a.m., when most bus drivers begin their elementary school routes.

If school is closed early, the day will be considered a student day and will not be made up. All employees will be expected to work; however, principals and supervi-sors will be advised if an early dismissal for weather is warranted.

If schools open on a delayed schedule:

Sometimes it becomes necessary to op-erate school on a one-or two-hour delay because of adverse weather conditions. On such days, teachers and other school employees are expected to report to work at the regular time, unless their school improvement team has determined a different schedule that would include

Air quality in school system buildingsThe school system’s guidelines for in-door air quality were developed with the Forsyth County Department of Public Health and the Forsyth County Depart-ment of Environmental Health. The guidelines cover the use of furniture, carpets, wall decorations, and chemicals in school buildings. They also outline how plants and animals should be cared for in classrooms. For a complete list of the school system’s indoor air quality guidelines, please see Administrative Regulation 3520.

CivilityThe Board of Education has adopted a civility policy to promote mutual respect and orderly conduct among students, employees, volunteers, parents and the public. The purpose of the policy is to pro-vide safe and harassment-free workplaces for teachers, students, administrators, staff, parents and others, and discourage hostile, threatening or profane language or actions.

The policy allows employees to end meet-ings or conversations if a person does not stop using profanity or demeaning language after one warning.

LunchAll full-time employees are entitled to time to eat lunch. Duty-free lunch periods are not counted in the total hours that an employee works unless he or she is re-quired to answer phones or perform some other duty during the lunch hour. Lunch times for most employees are staggered so that there is someone at each work location at all times.

School cafeterias are open to all school employees and offer lunch at a la carte prices. Please eat in cafeterias or designated snack areas only, not at your work area.

NepotismThe school system does not allow the assignment of an employee to supervise or evaluate a member of his or her im-mediate family.

According to the school system’s policy, the immediate family includes spouses, children, stepchildren, wards, grandchil-dren, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, in-laws, uncles and aunts.

As a general rule, the school system also discourages the assignment of students to classes taught by a member of their immediate family. (Policy 4115.5)

ParkingThere is no charge for parking for any school employee. Some schools issue staff parking permits. Staff parking areas are designated at each school, the Administrative Center and the Education Building.

Political activityWe encourage you to be active politically. You should increase your awareness and knowledge of political issues and $&4+(+&3*'#".8#-2?%($#.")$*#3.#?*$.,*#&#better informed citizen.

However, you must not actively campaign for a candidate while on the job. You must not use your position to coerce your subordinates or students to contribute to any political campaign.

If you are charged with a crime by a student or parent, you should notify your principal or supervisor as soon as possible.

Reporting harassmentThe school system does not tolerate ha-rassment based on an employee’s race, national origin, religion, age, gender or disability.

Sexual harassment includes any unwel-come sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and any other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature between a su-perior and a subordinate, between peers, or between an employee and a student when it interferes with job performance, creates an intimidating, hostile or of-fensive working environment, or affects &!B0(#!&)/$(BB(-/3)+/+&*$(-$%&)&./*1$

Other harassment includes any act that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, interferes with an individual’s job performance, or adversely affects an individual’s employment opportunities. This applies to such behavior whether it is by fellow employees, a supervisor or manager, or an outside vendor or consultant.

If you believe you have been harassed, you must report your complaint to the Human Resources department. Your complaint will be investigated and the results will be reported back to you. Reports should be made within 30 days of the last event so that quick action can be taken.

Likewise, complaints of sexual harass-ment should be reported to the Human Resources department. If the allegations are true, an appropriate remedy will be recommended, which may include the de-motion or dismissal of the offending em-ployee. If the allegations are found to be not true, you will receive an explanation. You may appeal that determination to the appropriate assistant superintendent.

If you witness behavior you believe to be harassment, you are required to report this to your supervisor or the Human Resources department at 748-4079. (AR 4116.5)

Reporting improper activitiesUnder North Carolina law, you are encouraged to report to your principal, department head or superintendent if you have evidence of activity by any school employee that violates a state or federal law, is fraudulent, involves the misap-propriation of resources or endangers public health or safety. If you report such activity in good faith, you cannot be dismissed, demoted or subjected to any form of discrimination for having made the report. (AR 4116.12)

IRS regulations prohibit employees from reversing their decisions once the 10-month year begins. If an employee’s job status changes at any time during the year, however, the 12-month election may be canceled and any withheld pay is returned to the employee.

Any applicable health and dental insur-ance deductions for those who have chosen 12 installments also will be with-held from all 12 salary payments. Life insurance deductions are only withheld from non-installment salary payments.

The State Employees’ Credit Union and other area banks offer an alternative to the “summer pay option” that allows employees to decide how much to with-hold from each monthly payroll check. These banks then pay back two equal payments during the summer. Under this arrangement you may earn interest on the withheld amounts, and unlike the state’s plan, you may choose to start this account at any time during the school year.

School calendar and pay issuesDue to the requirements of the school calendar law, the paycheck that teachers receive at the end of August will cover a full month’s salary even though teachers (*1")#&')5"')+&%80"'"3)'("/,)2,-')%&#'()&6)work.

Health insuranceAll full-time employees are eligible for health insurance through the N.C. State Health Plan.

The plan offers the choice of two Pre-ferred Provider Organization plans (PPOs) from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.

Insur ance

The two plans – Basic and Standard – allow you to pay different rates for dependent coverage. Basically, the more you pay per month, the less you pay in copayments, deductibles and coinsur-ance. Fees for doctors not included in the plans are typically more than for those in the plans, but the two PPOs include doctors in every county and 90 percent of the primary care physicians in the state.

To be eligible for coverage under the Standard Plan, you and your covered dependents (if applicable) must not use tobacco products. You may qualify for an exemption by participating in an ap-proved tobacco cessation program.

If you enroll in either plan, the school system will pay all of the premium cost of your coverage under the State plan. You also may purchase coverage for !"#$%&'()('*'+('+,-)./)*#/01$$)('("2-tion. Premiums are deducted from your paycheck and are tax-sheltered unless you elect otherwise.

state law prohibiting discrimination,

or supersede any State or local law or

collective bargaining agreement which

provides greater family or medical

leave rights.

HolidaysEligible school employees receive

the same number of holidays as state

employees, but not necessarily on the

same days. Paid holidays are New

Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr.’s

birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day,

Independence Day (12-month

employees), Labor Day, Veterans Day,

Thanksgiving (two days) and Christ-

mas (two or three days).

An employee may be absent for no

more than two days in a school year

!"#$%"&'$()*$#*+,-,"./$0"+,)'1/$&"2$scheduled as vacation or holidays in

the school calendar. The absence must

be approved in advance by the super-

intendent or his designees, such as the

Director of Human Resources or the

employee’s principal or supervisor.

The employee must make up the time

missed. (P 4150.2)

Jury dutyYou may have temporary leave with

full pay if you are called for jury duty.

(P 4150.7)

Military leaveYou may have temporary leave with

full pay for up to 15 days if you are

called for annual training with a mili-

tary reserve or National Guard unit.

If you are called to active duty, you

will receive leave without pay and

credit for such service. If military pay

is less than the employee’s regular pay,

the employee will receive differential

pay while on active military duty. (P 4150.10)

Parental leave for SchoolsIf you are a parent or guardian of a

school-aged child, you may take up to

four hours a school year of eligible-

earned leave, such as compensatory

time or annual leave, to participate in

your child’s school activities. You must

request parental leave in advance. (P 4150.8)

Personal leaveTeachers may earn two days of per-

sonal leave each year and can accumu-

+'2*$.3$2"$(4*$)'1/5$6*#/"&'+$)'1/$7'1$be used in whole or hald-day units on

student or professional days, but not on

state testing days. A $50 deduction for

a substitute is taken from your pay for

personal leave taken on student days.

State law requires the deduction even if

a substitute is not actually hired. Teach-

ers using personal leave on non-protect-

ed teacher work days shall receive full

salary. Teachers can use personal leave

Personal leave normally is not granted

on the day before or after a holiday

Petty leaveThe Board of Education changed leave

policies last year so that annual leave

and sick leave can be taken in one-hour

increments. The board ended petty

leave.

limited circumstances.

Full- and part-time regular employees

must have approval to receive donated

leave for extended absence because of

their own illness or one in their immedi-

ate family. They must not be receiving

You may donate sick leave only to

another employee who is a member

of your family (spouse, child, par-

ent, including step-relationships, and

any other dependents residing in your

home) in this or another school system.

You may not reduce your sick leave be-

low one-half of what you earn in a year.

You may donate annual leave to any

employee in this school system and to

immediate family members (spouse,

parents, children, brother, sister, grand-

parents, grandchildren and step-, half-,

school system.

All donated leave will be credited to the

recipient’s sick leave account. (P 4150.4)

Teachers’ Advisory CouncilThe council provides an opportunity for administrators and teachers to discuss critical educational issues and systemwide concerns.

No later than September, each school faculty elects one representative and one alternate to the Teachers' Advi-sory Council. These representatives must have three years of teaching experience, with at least one in their present schools.

Systemwide TACProblems, questions and suggestions of systemwide concern that need immediate attention may be brought before the council in written form.

Items that have systemwide implica-tion, yet are of interest to an indi-vidual school, should be submitted in writing for a written response.

Questions or concerns must be sub-mitted in the issue bin and bear the signature of the TAC representative for the school they represent.

Every school's TAC representative should keep the faculty informed about the business of the council.
