A growing number of cities now provide a range of public school options for families to choose from. Choosing a school can be one of the most stressful decisions parents
make on behalf of their child. For all families, but for some more than others, getting access to the right public school will determine their child’s future success. How are parents faring in cities where choice is widely available?
Chapter 11 Teacher Employment, Supervision, and Collective Bargain.docxspoonerneddy
Chapter 11 Teacher Employment, Supervision, and Collective Bargaining
Introduction
Schools are a people-intensive business, and school districts regardless of size allocate the majority of available funding (sometimes as much as 85–90%) to salaries and benefits for employees. Parents and other stakeholders expect the best teachers for their children. They also demand sound stewardship of this public trust. Consequently, recruiting, selecting, and supervising employees is an important, some might say the most important, role for school leaders. At the same time, teachers and other school employees are protected by a variety of employment laws. Sound stewardship requires an awareness, understanding, and acceptance of these laws and policies. Effective school leadership also requires that they be fairly applied in order to create cooperative environments.
The basic ethical and legal principles concerning employment, teacher supervision, and collective bargaining that apply to most states are emphasized in this chapter. These laws vary, sometimes substantially, from state to state. Therefore, leadership candidates and instructors are encouraged to obtain and use state law to guide discussions in this chapter.
Focus Questions
1. How can employment policy and practice be evaluated to determine its impact on school culture?
2. What protections from capricious or arbitrary employment decisions should public school teachers enjoy? Are these protections too little or too much?
3. How and when should the performance and behaviors of teachers be documented?
4. Should teachers be allowed to bargain collectively with a school district? What should they bargain for?
Key Terms
1. Adverse employment decision
2. Affirmative action
3. Bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ)
4. Collective bargaining
5. Continuing contracts
6. Disparate impact
7. Disparate treatment
8. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

Jason Whitehead glanced across the table at the face of Corinne Lodge, the board chairperson. Corinne was obviously unhappy. He looked around the table. The other six board members seemed in varying degrees to share Corinne’s displeasure. This was Jason’s first year as superintendent of Pine Valley School District (PVSD), a relatively small school district in Johnson County. Easy access to interstate highways and a major metropolitan complex made Pine Valley a thriving community. Pine Valley, unlike many neighboring districts, faced continuing increases in enrollment. Over the years, the population had grown, and in that time the teaching staff had almost doubled. Corinne said, “I’m concerned about some of the allegations in this letter. Mr. Whitehead, I would like to see this investigated.” Several other board members nodded in agreement wi.

Chapter 13 Law, Ethics, and Educational Leadership: Making the Connection
Introduction

The chapter also provides examples of how knowledge of law and the application of ethical principles to decision making helps guide school leaders through the sometimes treacherous waters of educational leadership.
Focus Questions

2. Why is it important to consider a balance between these two sometimes competing concepts?
Case Study So Many Detentions, So Little Time
Jefferson Middle School (JMS) was the most racially and culturally diverse of the three middle schools in Riverboat School District, a relatively affluent bedroom community within commuter distance of Capital City. Unfortunately, the culture of Jefferson Middle School was not going well. Over the past 5 years, assistant superintendent Sharon Grey had seen JMS become a school divided by an underlying animosity along racial and socioeconomic lines. This animosity was characterized by numerous clashes between student groups, between teachers and students, between campus administrators and teachers, and between teachers and parents. Sharon finally concluded that JMS was a “mess.”
After much thought and a few sleepless nights, Sharon as part of her job description made the recommendation to the Riverboat school board to not reemploy Jeremy Smith as principal of JMS. Immediately after the board decision, Sharon organized a search committee of teachers, parents, and campus administrators and began the process of finding the right principal for JMS. The committee finally agreed on Charleston Jones. Charleston was a relatively inexperienced campus administrator but had impressed the committee with his instructional leadership knowledge, intelligence, and youthful energy. However, the job of stabilizing JMS was proving to be more of a challenge than anyone had anticipated.
Charleston had instituted a schoolwide discipline plan and had insisted that teachers and school administrators not deviate from the plan. However, he could sense that things were still not right. Animosity among student and parent groups remained just below the surface, ready to erupt at the slightest provocation. Clashes between teachers and students were still relatively frequent. Teachers still blamed one another, school administrators, and the school resource officer for a lack of order in the school. Change was not coming quickly to RMS, and Charleston understood that although school management had improved, several aspects of school culture were less than desirable. Student suspension rates remained high, and parental support was waning. As one of the assistant principals remarked after the umpteenth student referral, “So many detentions, so little time!”
Charleston felt the need to talk. He reached for the phone and made an appointment with.

Seth Bloom ran for the school board because of his strong commitment to improving and protecting public education in the
New Orleans area. Seth’s mother was a dedicated public school teacher who stressed the importance of a quality education
from a very young age.
Seth Bloom graduated from Loyola University Law School and went on to start his own law rm and become a small
business owner in the New Orleans area. With a thriving and growing legal practice, he still wanted to give back to the people
of New Orleans.
So, Seth Bloom decided to run for the school board to put forth his vision for improving New Orleans schools for students in
District 5. With a strong grass roots campaign and numerous endorsements, his commitment to the goal of improving
public education made him the choice of voters in the 2008 school board election.

Supporting an audit requested by the Orleans Inspector General Ed Quatrevauz. As NOLA reported, the Orleans Parish
School Board challenged the audit, although the requested audit was not wrongful or performed in response to any
speci c allegations. As chairman of the School Board’s legal committee, Seth Bloom supported letting the investigation
proceed to prove that the school had board had behaved properly and done everything correctly.
Seth Bloom spoke out against a controversial measure by a new school board president, which aimed to nullify and
renegotiate the contracts of an interim superintendent and Deputy Superintendent for Charter Schools. Serving as an
attorney in addition to a school board member, Seth Bloom questioned why objections to the initial contracts had not
been raised by attorneys at the time when the contracts were rst drafted or signed.
Seth Bloom has spoken out strongly in support of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). Under the DBE, the
district set forth a goal that 35 percent of the value of its contracts should be awarded to minority-owned businesses.
This includes all contracts, from large-scale products to contracts for food service and lawn care. Seth Bloom was
quoted by WDSU as saying, “We put so much energy into it, [the DBE program], and I think we’re doing a really good
job.” The program was established in October of 2012 during Seth Bloom’s rst term on the Orleans Parish school
board, and is expected to reach a larger range of businesses in coming years.
Seth recommended that interim Superintendent Stan Smith’s contract should be reviewed and amended, if needed. This
moderate approach to handling the contracts was adopted by other school board members instead of the more radical
proposal that had been put forth by the new president. NOLA reports that the school board voted in favor of Seth Bloom’s
motion.
These are just some of the many important issues that school board member Seth Bloom has addressed. His advocacy is
helping to make a real di erence for students and families in District 5.

on the Orleans Parish School Board
Seth Bloom’s impressive rst term on the school board was recognized by his peers and by the voters.

remains committed to representing the interests of children and families in New Orleans. His work for the students of New
Orleans will continue as he helps to move education forward and make strong schools the bedrock of New Orleans’s rebirth.
During his second term as a school board member, Seth Bloom will be working with other board members to nd a new
superintendent for the New Orleans Parish School Board. The board is currently conducting a search for a new
superintendent for the district, and school board members have recently narrowed their priorities for the search.
School board members believe that the next superintendent should be a strong leader, honest and accessible, understand
the New Orleans culture and have the ability to communicate high expectations to students, NOLA reports. As an in uential
school board member, Seth Bloom will play a strong role in choosing the new superintendent.
Seth Bloom: Giving Back To the New Orleans Community
In addition to serving as a school board member, Seth Bloom is also a full-service New Orleans personal injury attorney and
criminal defense lawyer. His pro bono work and client advocacy as a legal professional is another way that he gives back to
the community.

Parish.
