Collective
Bargaining Agreement
During the negotiation of the joint agreement between the two districts, we agreed to honor the contract between the Association of Paris Teachers (APT) and District 95. We need to officially accept the terms of the contract and ratify that contract with the Paris Association of Cooperative Teachers (PACT).

Risk Management
Plan
Every school district must have a risk management plan. The cooperative high school should adopt one of its own. For insurance purposes it is wise to have designations as to who is responsible for student safety and how the cooperative assigns responsibilities for managing risk and minimizing those factors which might cause individual or collective harm. Although the cooperative has no tort fund it will be prudent to have a risk management plan should an issue arise in which member districts will need to use tort funds to either defend against liability or pay for insurance for the co-op. The plan is attached to the memorandum for you to view.

The Cooperative needs to have a formally adopted pest management plan. Attached you will find the proposed plan. It gives a lot of detail to what is considered manageable and the steps that are taken in response to pest issues at the high school. It outlines procedures as well the process to document issues and responses.

Establishment of
Restricted Account
At the high school level we take in large amounts of money that are not from fundraisers or from regular revenue sources (like state aid or the levy). We take in money from the Coke contract that is designated for athletics and it goes into the restricted account to be spent only in athletics. We have had donations made in the past that are designated for specific programs that are deposited in the restricted account and only used for those specific programs. Attached is the document that creates that restricted account at the Edgar County Bank. The account will be established there because that is where our general funds are deposited.
(Recommendation, motion, second and roll call vote as above)
Motion: Ron Doris
Second: Paul Porter
Ayes: ( 6 )
Nays: ( 0 )
Workload Agreement
for Special Education Teachers
We are required by law to create an agreement for the workload assigned to special education teachers. In May I met with PACT president Jane Witmer to discuss the workload plan that had been adopted by both Crestwood and District 95. The attached workload agreement is the same one adopted by both districts.
(Recommendation, motion, second and roll call vote as above)
Motion: Doug Hasler
Second: Keith Trogdon
Ayes: ( 6 )
Nays: ( 0 )
Copier Contract
for Crestwood Community Unit 4, Paris District No. 95 and Paris Cooperative
High School
Attached you will find a copy of the agreement between both school districts and the cooperative high school. Both districts have approved the agreement but the actual contract will be held by the cooperative high school. Both districts will see significant savings by joining one contract for our copying need.
(Recommendation, motion, second and roll call vote as above)
