[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is that if the job description is one covered by the CBU, and they are working at the school, then they are covered by the CBU no matter who is paying them. So if the PTA is not complying with the union contract, the employer (which will be deemed DCPS and the PTA jointly) are in violation of the CBA. The contracts with any personnel must be carefully drafted to ensure that they are not in the CBU. This is relatively easy to ensure (e.g. classroom aid works less then 70 hours in a two-week cycle), and most PTAs have lawyers triple check this to make sure they are complying with all laws.

[b]But if the PTA were to say, hire a classroom teacher to teach math to half of the class full time ... that person is entitled to everything in the CBA. I highly doubt any principal would allow this to happen. Which is why the Janney poster who says her kid has 2 or 3 "teachers" is wrong -- or is exposing a problem at Janney; most likely just wrong.[/b]

Student teachers brought in through agreements with Universities for class credit are a different category. Mann and Murch have a lot of those working with classroom teachers. Janney probably does too.[/quote]

It's been a while but when my kids were first and second graders at Janney, the school would hire newly-minted education graduates as aides. These teachers were willing to work as aides in order to be well position for a teaching slot when it opened up. I think that's why parents say they have two teachers in the room. Technically they are wrong but from a qualification standpoint, they are right. Really, making a mountain out of a mole hill here. [/quote]
