Any difference between the parties to, or persons bound by the agreement or on whose behalf it was entered into, concerning its content, meaning, application or violation, which is not settled to the satisfaction of the parties within 10 teaching days from the date when the Association takes the matter up with the school division or the school division notifies the Association in writing of its desire to have the difference negotiated, shall upon the written request of either party, be submitted to an Arbitration Board, consisting of three members. Each of the parties to the dispute shall within seven days of the date of the written request for arbitration, appoint an arbitrator and shall notify the other party of the appointment. These two arbitrators, within a further period of seven days after their appointments, shall meet and select a chairperson. Should the two arbitrators fail to agree upon a chairperson; within the required seven days either party may request the Manitoba Labour Board to appoint a chairperson. Except as herein provided, the Labour Relations Act shall apply.
If a party to the Collective Agreement claims that the time limit imposed under the Collective Agreement has not been complied with, the parties shall proceed to appoint the Arbitration Board and if the Arbitration Board is satisfied that the irregularity with respect to the time limit has not prejudiced the parties to the arbitration and will not affect the merits of the matter submitted to the Arbitration Board, it may on application of any party to the arbitration, declare that the irregularity does not affect validity of the decision of the Arbitration Board; and the declaration is binding on the parties to the arbitration and on any person affected by the decision of the Arbitration Board.
Nothing herein shall prohibit the parties from agreeing on a single arbitrator. If the parties so agree, the provisions of this article relating to an Arbitration Board shall apply mutatis mutandis, to the single arbitrator.
The Association recognizes the right of the Mountain View School Division to transfer/assign teachers employed by the School Division to schools and classes under the jurisdiction of the Mountain View School Division.
A teacher who is transferred or reassigned shall be given reasonable written notice of the proposed transfer or reassignment.
The Mountain View School Division’s right to initiate transfers or reassignment shall always be exercised fairly and reasonably having regard for the educational needs of the Mountain View School Division and the interest of the teacher(s) involved.
The Division shall consult with teachers who are being involuntarily transferred prior to making a final decision.
In the case of any teacher who has been given notice of transfer or reassignment following May 31st and wishes to resign before June 30th of that year, the Division agrees to accept the resignation provided it is offered in writing within 7 days of the notice of transfer or reassignment.
Teachers who must relocate their residence within the Division due to a Division-initiated transfer, and whose relocation exceeds 50 kilometers, shall be reimbursed by the Division, moving expenses to a maximum of $1,000.00 against receipts.
Where it is determined by the Division that a lay‑off is necessary and where natural attrition, transfers, sabbaticals and leaves of absence do not affect the necessary reduction in staff, the Division shall give first consideration to retaining teachers having the greatest seniority with the Division.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Division shall have the right to disregard the seniority of any teacher in the event of a lay‑off, if such teacher does not have the necessary training and/or academic qualifications and/or experience and/or ability for a specific teaching assignment.
During the month of January each year, a seniority list will be prepared by the Division and posted in each school and provided to the Association. Each teacher shall be permitted a period of ten (10) working days after the posting of the seniority list to protest in writing to the Superintendent any alleged omission or incorrect listing, but such protest shall be confined to errors or changes occurring subsequent to the posting of any previous seniority list. In the event that a teacher does not file a written protest with the superintendent within the time stipulated, his or her placement on the seniority list shall be deemed correct.
Seniority for the purposes of this agreement is defined to mean the length of continuous teaching experience from the date of most recent hire by the School Division beginning with the first day of teaching within the School Division.
Where the teachers have the same length of continuous teaching experience, the order of the seniority list shall be determined on the basis of the total length of employment with the School Division.
Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in 31.03 and 31.04, the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total recognized teaching experience in Manitoba.
Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in 31.03, 31.04 and 31.05, the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total teaching experience recognized by the Province of Manitoba for classification purposes.
If the length of teaching experience as defined in 31.03, 31.04, 31.05, and 31.06, is equal, the teacher to be declared surplus shall be determined by the Board.
A teacher will retain and accrue seniority if absent from work because of:
In the event of a lay-off, three (3) representatives from the Division shall meet with three (3) representatives from the Executive of the Association to discuss the implications of the lay off and shall provide the Association with a list of teachers to be laid off.
It is acknowledged that, insofar as is possible, notice of lay-off shall be given to the teacher by certified mail no later than May 1st, such notice of lay-off to become effective as at June 30th of that school year. However, it is also acknowledged that in certain circumstances, the Division may find it necessary to provide notice of lay-off earlier in the school year and in such cases, shall provide such notice by certified mail no later than November 1st, such notice to be effective as at December 31st of the school year. The teacher within ten calendar days of receiving notice of lay-off shall indicate, in writing, his/her wish to be placed on the re-employment list. Notwithstanding anything else in this collective agreement, failure to respond within the time limit specified in this clause shall relieve the onus on the Division for that teacher’s placement on the re-employment list.
After lay-offs have occurred and for a period of one calendar year after the September 30th directly following the lay-off, teachers who have been laid off and have given written notice that they wish to be recalled shall be offered the position first when positions become available provided such teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications, experience, and ability for the positions available.
Seniority with the Division will be used to determine the order in which laid off teachers are offered the available positions provided that the said teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications, experience, and ability
It shall be the responsibility of the teacher to report an address to which a recall notice can be delivered. Recall notices will be delivered by registered mail to the last reported address given by the teacher and a teacher who is recalled from lay‑off shall be required to indicate within six working days of registration of same his/her intent to return to work and shall be required to return to work on the date set out in the notice which date shall not be less than 14 calendar days following such notification unless by mutual agreement.
A teacher's accumulated sick leave credits shall not be affected if the teacher is recalled as provided in the Article 31.13 above.
If the Division terminated the contract of a teacher because that teacher is surplus, the Division shall, at the request of the teacher, provide them with a letter to this effect.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this article the foregoing lay‑off provisions shall not apply to teachers continuously employed under one contract with the Mountain View School Division for one year or less, or to teachers employed for a specific term where during that term the teacher is employed on the express written understanding that such teacher will not after the completion of such term be employed by the School Division.
Where reference to “1/200” is made within this collective Agreement, the parties agree it means: 1/n, where n = the number of days in the current school year as determined by the Minister responsible for Education.
The Division will provide a minimum of one hundred and eighty (180) minutes of preparation time per six (6) day cycle for each full-time teacher K-8.
The Division will provide a minimum of two hundred and ten (210) minutes of preparation time per six (6) day cycle for each full-time teacher 9 - 12.
Part-time teachers shall be provided preparation time on a pro rata basis based on their percentage of contract.
Preparation time shall be scheduled in blocks of not less than thirty (30) minutes.
It is expected and shall be the responsibility of each teacher to utilize the preparation time provided to them in a productive, efficient manner towards fulfilling the educational needs of his/her students. Teachers shall remain in their assigned school during their preparation time or as otherwise authorized by their school Principal.
The following notification period shall apply:
i. Teachers on staff requiring religious holy leave days during the school year shall provide notice in writing on the prescribed form as soon as possible after the start of the school year, however, no later than September 30th.
ii. In instances where religious holy leave days are required prior to September 30th in the school year, notice shall be given within ten (10) working days after the start of the school year, unless the holy day falls within the first ten (10) working days of the school year, in which case notice shall not be less than five (5) working days.
iii. Where appropriate notice has not been given, religious holy days leave will be provided and the teacher’s regular salary will be deducted the substitute teacher rate for the day.
