Board Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 2
APPROVAL OF MINUTES Ms. Lancon moved to approve the minutes of the regular board meeting of September 12, 2017 as presented. Mr. Christensen seconded the motion; the motion carried. AGENDA REVIEW Mrs. Whitney pointed out that there would be an executive session according to RCW 42.30.110 (1)(g) Personnel. There are no additions or changes to the agenda. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mr. Lehrman explained that questions and comments are welcome after each report pertaining to the topic covered at that time. He then opened the floor for comments on any other topics. There were no audience comments. COMMUNICATIONS All board members, and Miss Rocha participated in the visit to Curie Elementary by OSPI Superintendent Chris Reykdal on September 18. Board members agreed that they were happy to see that they were on the same page with many of our ideas regarding Pasco schools moving forward. It was amazing how in line Pasco School District is with the things that are changing across the state. Dr. Richardson was able to visit various schools in the district. Ms. Lancon has visited Stevens, Ochoa and McLoughlin middle schools; Chess, Emerson and Robinson elementary schools and Pasco High School. She reported that she was impressed with all the teachers as she walked into many classrooms and found students fully engaged in a great atmosphere. Mr. Christensen reported that last week he and Assistant Superintendent Reyes attended a presentation on “green building” and found it very interesting. He stated that one of the largest costs is heating our buildings and they are doing some innovative things in that area. The presenter claimed energy savings were significant while construction cost increases were minimal. He also attended the WSSDA Legislative Assembly where legislative positions for the upcoming year are discussed. There were a number of presentations including a panel that talked about compensation and trying to understand some of the impacts of the new legislation. He also stated that there are many school districts who have concerns about the regionalization of school district boards, and that it is a good time for us to start inviting our legislators to see some of the things that are happening in our district. He was able to attend the PHS vs Southridge freshman football game where several of his scouts participated. They started slow, but came back to win. Miss Rocha shared how much she enjoyed seeing Curie Elementary and meeting Superintendent Reykdal. Miss Quiroz announced that next week is Suicide Awareness Week at Pasco High School. She also shared that freshman will be taking the WOIS test, sophomores and juniors the PSAT, and seniors will be participating in college readiness activities. Miss Craig shared that she was accepted into National Honor Society. Suicide Awareness Week started this week for Chiawana.
Board Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 3
Mrs. Phillips has been involved in completing the Board of Distinction application. This is a good time for our board to review things that make good boards successful. Good boards have higher student achievement and the self-evaluation of this process helps us with that. It was difficult to define all the work that has been done in such a small space. Incredible things are coming for Pasco schools and we are dramatically improving across our district. She expressed her appreciation to so many who are making these things happen. Mr. Lehrman shared the letter written to WSSDA supporting the 2017 WSSDA Board of Distinction application and stated that staff, parents, and teachers are what really make this place succeed. REPORTS/DISCUSSION Board Policy Revisions: 3417 Catheterization; 3418 Response to Student Injury; 3419 (New) Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications – Ms. Thornton reported that this is a continuation of our process to review and revise board policies, and the second installment of the updated health policies presented at the previous board meeting. Policy 3417 Catheterization is being updated to include language permitting an employee to opt-out of catheterization responsibilities if such responsibility was not included in their job description when hired. Policy 3418 Response to Student Injury is updated from the outdated 1994 policy. Policy 3419 (New) Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications governs situations in which students are capable of carrying and self-administering medication such as an epi-pen or inhaler. Board Policy Revision: 9250 Naming of Facilities – Ms. Thornton reported that Policy 9250, Naming of Facilities, was last updated in 2006. The recommended update includes WSSDA model language on criteria for name selection. Discussion followed. Concerns were shared about the strict parameters. Mr. Lehrman asked for the board to share their thoughts and get back to Ms. Thornton for 2nd reading. Guidance would be needed in the procedure. He requested that Ms. Thornton send a draft of the procedures to the board before the 2nd reading. There were no public comments on this topic. Response to Public Comment Request – Ms. Thornton requested board direction for further action regarding a request by a community member for the district to submit a ballot proposition to the voters regarding school director districts. During the period of public comment during the regular board meeting of July 25, 2017, a Pasco resident requested that the board of directors submit a ballot proposition to the voters of Pasco regarding school director districts. The community member noted that RCW 28A.343.030 provides a mechanism for the district to submit a proposition to the voters that would authorize the board to divide the school district into director districts, rather than the current system of five at-large positions.
Board Meeting Minutes September 26, 2017 4
The background for the request was the recent federal Voting Rights Act litigation between the City of Yakima and the ACLU, which resulted in an order for the city to redistrict due to underrepresentation by their majority population (Hispanic), and the recent settlement by the City of Pasco with the ACLU due to similar underrepresentation. Staff requests direction from the board to conduct further research to identify options for board consideration. Discussion followed. On behalf of the board, Mr. Lehrman instructed Ms. Thornton to move forward with options and to provide more information. There were no audience comments at this time. Outrageous Outcomes and Data Byte: Reading – Mrs. Whitney provided the board with an update to benchmark data and key actions associated with meeting our Reading Outrageous Outcome. The board’s governance model identifies Results Policies which define the outcomes for our direct clients (students) by clarifying the expected organizational outcomes. These policies provide a framework for decision making and focus. Based on the existing District Strategic Improvement Plan which was developed through a collaborative process using:
survey results from over 10,000 students, parents, and staff; input from 201 parent, student, and staff focus groups, and 160 summit participants
The school board worked with district staff and building principals to identify 5 outrageous outcomes for Pasco School District. Results Policies 100% of all 3rd graders will read on grade level in their language of instruction 100% of students will pass Algebra by the end of 9th grade 100% of students are engaged in extracurricular activities 100% of 9th graders will end the school year on track for graduation 100% of students graduate and have a career path Discussion followed.

These policies are being presented for second reading and approval
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events) This is a continuation of our process to review and revise district policies, and the second installment of the updated health policies presented at the previous board meeting. Policy 3417 Catheterization is being updated to include language permitting an employee to opt-out of catheterization responsibilities if such responsibility was not included in their job description when hired. Policy 3418 Response to Student Injury is updated from the outdated 1994 policy. Policy 3419 (New) Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications governs situations in which students are capable of carrying and self-administering medication such as an epi-pen or inhaler.

STUDENTS Catheterization The board authorizes that qualified staff provide for clean, intermittent bladder catheterization (CIC) of students or assisted self-catheterization in conformance to rules adopted by the state board of nursing. Catheterization is permitted under the following conditions: A. A parent, guardian or other person having legal control over the student files a written,
current and unexpired request that the district provide for the catheterization of the student; B. A licensed physician of the student file a written, current and unexpired request that
catheterization of the student be provided for during the hours when school is in session or the hours when the student is under the supervision of school officials;
C. A registered nurse provide written, current and unexpired instructions regarding
catheterization which states which staff members are designated to provide for catheterization and a description of the nature and extent of any supervision that is required; and
D. A staff member who is authorized to provide for catheterization must receive training from a
registered nurse consistent with the rules of the state board of nursing. Licensed practical nurses are trained to provide catheterization as part of their professional training and are, therefore, exempted from this training requirement.
Employees, except licensed nurses, who have not previously agreed in writing to perform CIC of students as a specific part of their job description may file a written letter of refusal. The employee’s refusal may not serve as grounds for discharge, nonrenewal, or any other action adversely affecting the employee’s employment or contract status. The district and its staff and the staff member who provides for catheterization in substantial compliance with this policy and the rules of the state board of nursing shall not be liable in any criminal action or for civil damages arising from providing catheterization. The district may discontinue catheterization service for a student without being liable so long as the affected parent(s) or guardian(s) are given advance oral/written notice.

STUDENTS Response to Student Injury or Illness The board of directors recognizes that schools are responsible for providing first aid or emergency treatment in case of injury or illness of a student. To that end, the board encourages school staff to become certified in first aid. Further medical attention in non-emergency cases is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Schools will notify the parent or guardian of students who suffer injuries, illness or physical trauma at school or at any school sponsored activity as soon as practicable.
Adoption Date: October 10, 2017
PASCO SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 3419
STUDENTS Self-Administration of Asthma and Anaphylaxis Medications It is the policy of the board of directors that students with asthma or anaphylaxis will have the opportunity to self-administer prescribed medications according to the requirements of this policy, district procedures, and the direction of the school nurse. For a student to possess and self-administer medication for asthma or anaphylaxis during school, during school events, and while traveling to and from these activities, the following is required:
1. The parent or guardian must submit a signed, written request for the student to carry and self-administer medication for asthma or anaphylaxis;
2. The parent or guardian must submit a valid, current prescription from a licensed health care provider for the medication and verification the student has received instruction on the use of the medication;
3. The student must demonstrate to the health care provider and school nurse that he/she possesses the skill necessary to use the medication and the device necessary to administer the medication in a responsible manner;
4. The health care provider provides a written treatment plan for managing the asthma or anaphylaxis episodes; and
5. The parent or guardian signs a liability waiver and an indemnification and hold-harmless agreement regarding claims arising from the result of injury due self-administration of the medication by the student.
Authorization to self-medicate under this policy must be renewed each year. The superintendent will establish procedures to implement this policy and establish emergency rescue procedures outlined in the most recent edition of AMES: Asthma Management in Educational Settings, in cases of suspected asthma and the emergency rescue procedures outlined in the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Guidelines for the Care of Students with Anaphylaxis (2009) in cases of suspected anaphylaxis.

PREAMBLE This Agreement is made and entered into between Pasco School District No. 1 (hereinafter "District") and the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local #280 (hereinafter "Union"). In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41.56 RCW and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 ‐ RECOGNITION Section 1.1. The District recognizes the Union as the exclusive collective bargaining agent for the bargaining unit consisting of all full‐time and regular part‐time employees who are classified as Drivers, Driver Trainers and Transportation Field Support Specialists. Excluded from the unit shall be the Director of Transportation, any supervisors or assistant supervisors, managers, and any other employee of the District whose duties as deputy, administrative assistant or secretary necessarily imply a confidential relationship to the executive head or body of the bargaining unit pursuant to RCW 41.56.030. The parties recognize that under this agreement each of them has responsibilities for the welfare and security of the employees. The District recognizes that it is the responsibility of the Union to represent the employees effectively and fairly. No employee shall be discharged, disciplined or discriminated against due to his or her membership in the Union or by reason of his or her lawful Union activity. *There are three categories of "regular part‐time employees." One is the employee who is under contract (bus or van) and does not work full time (180‐days/8 hours per day). These drivers are entitled to full bargaining unit contract benefits. The second category is a 20/30 substitute who works twenty (20) consecutive work days in any one assignment, or thirty (30) cumulative days in any one school year. These "20/30‐day employees" will be eligible for a pay rate, if negotiated, that falls between substitute pay and regular driver pay. Time spent as a substitute driver and/or a 20/30‐day driver will accumulate up to 120 days during any two‐year period for the purpose of credit toward probation. A 20/30 driver must be willing to accept driving assignments offered and cannot be selective in his/her driving preference to retain accumulated credit toward probation. No other contract provisions will apply to the second category (20/30‐day drivers). The third is Type two drivers that do not have a CDL but are subject to the physical and random testing requirements. The type 2 van driver must be willing to accept driving assignments offered and cannot be selective in his/her driving preference. No other contract provisions will apply to the third type 2 category (van drivers).

The employee may request removal of derogatory material from his/her file eighteen (18) months after its placement in the file. The District may remove derogatory material from the personnel file upon the written request of the employee with the exception of material that indicates problems of a repetitive nature, cases of serious misconduct, and employee evaluations. Section 3.4. Employees subject to this Agreement have the right to have Union representatives or other persons present at discussions between themselves and supervisors or other representatives of the District as hereinafter provided.

Section 5.9. Employees making no bona fide objection per Article 5, Section 5.8 who refuses to pay either union dues or union representation fees may be terminated from employment. Section 5.10. The Union agrees to defend and hold the District harmless against any legal action brought against the District in reference to the representation fee deduction. ARTICLE 6 ‐ HOURS OF WORK, BIDDING, EXTRA TRIPS Section 6.1. The workweek shall consist of five (5) consecutive days, Monday through Friday, followed by two (2) consecutive days of rest, Saturday and Sunday. For the purpose of overtime computation, forty (40)‐hour week shall consist of all hours worked from Sunday through Saturday. Section 6.2. Each contracted employee shall bid a definite and regular route or routes and work shift which shall not be changed without prior notification of employee(s) of ten (10) work days, except in cases of emergency, when new students are added to the route, and/or when necessary to improve student transportation resulting from student discipline or parental concerns. The ten (10) day notice may be waived by the employee. Employees may request an extension of up to ten (10) additional days by submitting a request in writing to Employee Services. The change will not affect basic bid route times. Section 6.3. Routes (bus and van) will be established by the Supervisor of Transportation and will include the total driving time of each route. Route times shall be based on actual time required to perform all regular duties assigned for all routes using the Timeclock Plus system. Daily route times will include (1) A.M. route time, (2) mid‐day route time, (3) P.M. route time, (4) pre‐trip and post trip inspection time, cleanup, lot time and fueling time will be added to the total of (1), (2), (3), & (4), to establish the minimum total daily route time.
Fuel time will be applied at ten (10) minutes per day. A total of fifty (50) minutes per week will be added to the contract time. Extra time may be allowed by the Supervisor of Transportation for unusual or emergency situations, but not to exceed the additional time actually required through no fault of the driver. If there is one‐half (½) hour or less between runs, the driver's time shall continue uninterrupted.
Pre/post trip time will be increased to one (1) hour per day with routes that don’t have a mid‐day and one and one‐quarter (1.25) hours per day with routes that have a mid‐day. (see note below)
8
The following are the breakdowns for time. AM Pre trip 20 minutes Mid‐Day Pre trip 10 minutes PM Pre trip 20 minutes Post trip am/mid/pm 5 minutes each Note: fuel time is in addition as determined based on if a mid‐day is involved per the bullet above. For the purpose of covering midday and activity routes in the absence of the contracted employee, any driver (contracted or substitute) can be assigned more than (1) midday or activity route in accordance with Article 6, Section 6.3.1. No A.M. or P.M. run time shall be absorbed into mid‐day run time and no mid‐day run time shall be absorbed into A.M. or P.M. run time. Additional time worked that is outside the contracted time shall not be absorbed unless it falls within the paid layover/wait time. The Timeclock Plus system will allow drivers to clock in within five minutes of their shift beginning and concluding. Drivers will not lose time if they clock in within five (5) minutes of the shift beginning or five (5) minutes before their shift concluded. Any time spent in addition to the five (5) minutes performing work duties shall be recorded as extra time. The transportation supervisor(s) shall have the right to monitor and address issues related to clocking in late and out early if it becomes a consistent pattern.
Section 6.3.1. Those regular employees whose contract time permits, and who sign up will be allowed to perform, or substitute on, any Transportation department represented by IUOE related work assignment according to seniority and eligibility. Substitute work performed by a regular driver will be paid at the regular driver rate of pay.
Section 6.3.2. The district will provide an employee to wash the outside of the bus. Drivers will be responsible for cleaning the inside of the bus, regular window cleaning, and all pre‐trip and post‐trip duties, as outlined on the pre/post‐trip checklist.
Section 6.3.3. Routes open for bidding will include: A. Regular education A.M. and P.M. runs B. Kindergarten (mid‐day) runs C. After school (sports) activities considered as mid‐day runs. Drivers who bid
on after‐school (sports) activity runs will not be allowed to bid on midday runs and vice versa. Midday or activity runs cannot be bid without an A.M. or P.M. run.
D. Special needs A.M., P.M., and mid‐day runs ‐ refers to bus runs involving transportation of students with special needs to and from school or any educational institution/agency as evaluated by the Special Services
9
Department. Drivers must successfully complete the required training designed for special needs drivers within three (3) months following the start of the new route and maintain their qualifications while driving the special needs route. (NOTE: Special needs routes will only have packaged middays for bidding when necessary to maintain consistency between students and drivers. This will be determined by the Director of Transportation and the drivers' bidding committee.)
E. Special Programs Routes (General Education) ‐ compensated at regular driving rate. The District will provide a list of Special Program Routes to the Union by September 1 of each year.
F. General Transportation vans to be used to transport students and established at a daily route time. Van drivers (type 2) shall be subject to the same requirements as a regular driver (CDL required). In the event that the District needs CDL drivers van drivers may be temporarily moved (no more than five (5) consecutive work days) to drive a bus route and their position would then be backfilled by a type 2 substitute driver. When it becomes necessary to move a van driver to cover a bus route it shall be done by moving the least senior employee first.
G. Spring Influx Routes ‐ additional routes added beyond existing to/from routes.
H. Summer School: This work is not included in bidding nor contracted. Duration of activity varies and this work has no impact on benefits. It is understood that summer school routes are considered extra duty work, not contracted time. The following lists shall be posted and assigned by seniority. Assignments for summer school shall be monitored by at least two Bid Committee Representatives, and every effort will be made to post summer school assignments by the last week of school. 1. Extra Duty/Trips – This scope of work shall be as needed and shall consist of student trips requests and any other summer work associated with transportation such as washing buses, last minute shuttles/transfers and other driving assignments. 2. Summer School – This scope of work is associated with all summer school routes and shall have three (3) hours per day minimum. Please note that summer school is not included in bidding, not contracted, the duration of activity depends on the needs of the school and the extra time will not affect employee benefits. 3. WSP Prep – This is only assigned as needed and varies from year to year. The scope of work is usually completed prior to the WSP inspection.
10
4. WSP Inspections – WSP inspections vary based on the availability of the WSP inspection team and the hours and days shall vary based on the numbers of buses completed per day.
Summer School Criteria A. Seniority. B. All assignment are final once accepted. C. Routes may increase and/or decrease or be deleted without notice. D. Once awarded, the assigned route will remain with each driver for the
duration of Summer School or until the assignment ends. E. Drivers not selected will be placed on the Extra Duty/Trip list for Summer
School only. F. Actual assignment may occur later than posted if the student rosters and/or
other data is not received by transportation. G. If selected, you agree to perform the required task for the entire duration of
the assignment. Failing to fulfill the summer school route will make you ineligible to sign up for any additional summer work.
H. Hours for the week including any additional weekend hours cannot cause the driver to go into overtime.
I. Drivers should not have any other work that may conflict with the Summer School schedule.
Section 6.3.4. Bidding of Routes. (Also refer to Appendix A.) At the beginning of the
school year, drivers will be given basic routes (A.M. & P.M.) as designed during the summer (excluding those runs or routes that do not constitute permanent part(s) of the basic routes, i.e., tutorial stops pertaining to migrant influx, drama/art, etc.). Midday routes will be assigned by seniority and as close to driver's previous year's school assignment as possible. Drivers will be compensated at their contracted time as of the end of the previous school year as a minimum for the month of September, and any additional drive time over that contracted time. If there are less middays than the previous year, drivers who will not be assigned middays will be given the option to:
1. continue to be paid for the midday hours as of the previous October bidding, provided that they perform duties associated to the transportation department for those hours as assigned; or
2. deduct the hours and generate a new via Personnel Action Form until bidding.
Employees on long term leaves of absence (more than sixty (60) work days) that have not been fully released to return to work shall not be eligible to bid. However, a driver on leave shall maintain their previous contract time (not route) until such return. Upon return they will be assigned a position and be paid their prior contracted hours or new hours whichever is greater. They shall be eligible to bid the next bid cycle or any posted vacancies.
11
Vacancies will be filled as described below:
A. All (bus /van) Routes will be bid prior to the month of October with the changing of routes to occur on October 1. Bid routes will be available for viewing two (2) working days prior to bid date.

B. ALL Driving Position vacancies (including new positions), including A.M./ P.M. combination routes, mid‐day routes bid separately, will be filled by the following method, and will be posted for three (3) working days. Prior to posting the permanent route assignment a substitute driver shall be assigned. When a substitute has driven the route for five (5) work days they shall remain on the route until the opening is filled. 1. For resignations, retirements or approved leaves of absences, long term
medical which are in excess of sixty (60) calendar days, the opening will be posted and made available to the next most senior driver or drivers until the opening is filled. This shall be considered the first move.
2. The vacancy created by the step above will be repeated four (4) times and the sixth (6th) vacancy shall be filled by a substitute for the remainder of the school year and until the next annual bidding of routes.
3. Any time a vacant route becomes available, if a driver chooses to move up, down, or laterally in hours, that move shall be considered one of the above steps.
4. Upon the drivers return to work after sixty (60) days they shall be guaranteed their contracted hours but not necessarily the same route.
C. Timelines:
1. All openings will be filled by the above method during the school year. During the time between the actual vacancy, and the filling of the position, the vacancy will be filled with a substitute. Once a substitute is assigned to a route for longer than five work days they shall remain on the route until a permanent change has been made.
Section 6.3.5. Drivers will be paid for time actually worked unless contracted
otherwise. Drivers with the exception of split routes on an A.M./P.M. (no mid‐day routes) will be paid for a minimum of three and three‐quarters (3.75) hours. All mid‐day routes will be paid for a minimum of one (1) hour.
Section 6.3.6 After School Non‐Contracted Activity Routes. After school activity routes (ASA), including both new routes and vacated routes, will be bid by the use of a voluntary sign‐up sheet whenever a new route is created or an existing route is vacated. Any driver can sign up and will be eligible regardless of any
12
other activity that they are currently assigned. If the driver’s current ASA conflicts with the open ASA assignment the driver will be allowed to vacate their current assignment to accept the open assignment. There shall be no bumping of employees. Selection to fill the new or vacated route will be based on:
1. Seniority 2. Conflicts in contracted route time(s) that could reasonably prevent the driver
from timely arrival at the ASA bus boarding location. 3. ASA procedures set forth in this section shall apply at all times school busses
are operating within the District.
If any after school route is vacated with two weeks or less remaining it shall be filled first from the after school activity extra duty sign up list. Section 6.3.7. Van Drivers are considered to be regular contracted drivers that are entitled to the same provision as identified within this agreement. They shall be placed on the seniority list in accordance with the date they received their CDL. In the event of the same date the test results will determine placement on the list. They shall maintain a current CDL and adhere to the same requirements as a regular driver (physical and drug testing programs). They shall be used to augment the Districts needs when regular bus drivers are unavailable. And in the event that a van driver is needed due to a shortage of regular drivers the District shall maintain a separate type 2 driver qualified substitute list. The type two substitutes shall also be required to have current physicals and will also be subject to random drug testing. Type 2 drivers shall be on a separate list and shall not accrue seniority. Section 6.3.8. Adding Students: During the school year if students are added to existing routes on a permanent basis (30 days or more), and that addition changes the contracted hours for the route the District shall modify the drivers contract to include said time. If the change is for less than sixty (60) days the time shall be considered extra time. Section 6.4. Extra Trips. Section 6.4.1. Normally extra trips shall be posted for driver sign up at least five (5) working days prior to departure time. Postings will give time, duty, and fixed rate when applicable to overnight trips. Except in extenuating circumstances, extra trips will be assigned respecting eligible seniority when the Supervisor of Transportation receives notice. In extenuating circumstances extra trips will be assigned to eligible drivers respecting seniority as much as possible. The Union steward will be apprised of the details of non‐posted trips, including charters, as soon as possible. It is the expectation of the District that all trip drivers will:
1. Be on site twenty (20) minutes prior to leaving the lot. 2. Arrive at the pickup location thirty (30) minutes in advance of departure.
13
3. Utilize twenty (20) minutes of post trip cleanup. If driver performs cleanup during down time and clocks out early they will not be paid any time after clocking out.
Section 6.4.2. The extra trip assignment sheet will be available for inspection and posted in the transportation office no later than 1:00 P.M. on the working day prior to the extra trip. The assignment sheet will indicate which driver was assigned the trip. Section 6.4.3. Overnight trips will be posted by the Director of Transportation for driver consideration. Food and lodging will be added if necessary, in accordance with current district policy. Section 6.4.4. Driver pay for overnight trips will be set by figuring total on duty time, less sleep. If the charter bus rate is more cost effective, the district reserves the right to contract with a charter service. Section 6.4.5. Drivers will be paid for two (2) hours if a Monday‐Friday extra trip to which they are assigned is cancelled and/or the driver is not notified. Drivers will be paid for four (4) hours if a Saturday‐Sunday extra trip to which they are assigned is cancelled and/or the driver is not notified. To be eligible for trips outside the Tri‐Cities, drivers must meet the following criteria:
1. Have completed at least two (2) paid trip bus training drives; and 2. Have driven at least five hundred (500) hours for the Pasco School District. 3. Shall have completed yearly chain training (Required for trips outside the Tri‐

Trip Eligibility: After a trip has been assigned to a driver, if the driver declines the trip assignment for any reason other than a jury duty assignment or a work‐ related issue, the driver will not be eligible to take any trips for the remainder of the day and the following five days on which trips are posted. If, after a trip has been assigned to a driver, the driver declines the trip assignment on three (3) occasions during the school year, the driver will lose their eligibility for trip assignments for the remainder of the school year. It is the responsibility of each driver signing for a trip to verify the assignment and submit the required paperwork Drivers who are on leave from the district for five (5) consecutive working days or more will not be eligible to sign up for or take extra trips posted during their absence, with the exception of drivers on jury duty. Drivers must work all contracted hours seven (7) days prior to the departure of the trip unless removed from their route by their supervisor or utilizing an approved
14
leave day. Any driver using Leave Without Pay up to seven (7) days prior to a trip will not be eligible to sign up for a trip.
Section 6.4.8. In the event that a driver is a no show the District may request another trip driver in a standby situation to accommodate a pickup of students to prevent further delay in the trip. However, if there is ample time to arrange an emergency driver without impact to the required delivery time the District will utilize the emergency list.
Section 6.4.9. Emergency Trips. In the event that a last minute trip is requested that does not allow time for driver notification or posting the District shall declare said trip an emergency trip. The process is as follows;
1. A voluntary emergency sign‐up sheet shall be posted at the beginning of each school year.
2. Any driver who turns down two emergency requests shall be removed from the list for the remainder of the school year and the list will be updated throughout the school year.
3. Assignments shall be made by seniority. The District will not bypass employees due to overtime occurring on said trip.
4. The list shall be update throughout the school year removing drivers that turned down two trips.
5. If the number of emergency drivers drops below 15 the list shall be reposted for additional signups.
Refer to 6.4.8 if the assigned driver is a no show and trip departure cannot be delayed. Section 6.5. Assigned bus trips other than regular daily scheduled runs and flat rate trips (Article 6, Section 6.4.7) shall be defined as extra trips and shall be compensated for at the rates designated in Schedule A. Extra trips shall be posted for driver signup at least five (5) working days prior to departure time, except under extenuating circumstances. Trips shall be posted by 4:00 P.M. and not taken down for twenty‐four (24) hours. Every effort will be made to remove the posted trips by 9:00 A.M. on the 5th day. Trips not signed for shall be assigned at the discretion of the Supervisor of Transportation. Postings shall include the following information: date of trip, time of departure and return, origin and destination, and type of activity. Any driver wishing assignment to an extra trip must personally sign the trip sheet within twenty‐four (24) hours of the trip posting. No less than twenty‐four (24) hours prior to departure time the trip shall be assigned to senior drivers signing the sheet unless (1) the senior driver is not qualified, (2) performance is not substantially equal to those drivers junior to him, or (3) overtime pay would be required (unless the senior driver is the only driver signing for
15
the trip). However, if all drivers are in overtime the senior driver on the list shall be awarded the trip. The District will not bypass drivers on the signup sheet by hiring substitute drivers.
Section 6.5.1. Trips With Less Than Five (5) Days Notice. ‐ Trips that have extenuating circumstances and are not able to be posted five days in advance. (Article 6.5)
1. If an additional bus or cargo van is requested for the same trip before the trip sign‐ups have been assigned, then an additional driver shall be assigned off the original trip sign‐up sheet.
2. Any new trip (not on the original posted list) with less than twenty‐four (24) hour notice shall be placed on the trip board. The posting date will be highlighted and a radio announcement will be made to inform drivers of available extra trip(s). Trip assignment time will be at the discretion of the Trip Coordinator with consideration of the requested trip departure time.
3. New trips that are received less than five (5) days in advance but more than twenty‐four (24) hours in advance shall be placed on the trip board. The posting date will be highlighted in order for drivers to identify a trip that was not posted on the original posting date.
4. Last minute (day of) trips will be placed on the counter, announcements made in the break room as well as on the radio and white board. Then, if no drivers are available (on trip list) or drivers don't volunteer, the trip will be assigned off the Emergency Driver List respecting eligibility and seniority.
5. A driver will not be eligible for a trip if scheduled trip time and assigned route times interfere causing a decrease in hours worked for date of trip.
6. Eligibility also depends on the drivers' availability to achieve the requested departure and return time. The Trip Coordinator is permitted to assign a driver by seniority if all drivers on the sign‐up sheet are ineligible.
If a driver is required to drive a bus other than their rout bus on a trip, the time it takes to swap buses must be taken into consideration when deciding the driver's eligibility to be assigned the trip. Section 6.5.2. The Supervisor reserves the right to regulate on‐duty hours of drivers to conform with the Commercial Drivers License (CDL) requirements. Section 6.6. All drivers hired for school bus transportation shall be approved as per State Directive and shall under no condition be allowed to drive for less than the prevailing rate, and shall not be replaced by any other driver (even if qualified) unless
16
they are hired specifically for a bus/van driving position in the District. The district shall continue at its discretion to transport small numbers of students when use of a school bus is impractical. Section 6.7.

Employees who are on the active payroll on the holiday and have been in pay status for both the day preceding and the day succeeding the holiday and are not on leave of absence shall be eligible for pay for such unworked holiday. An exception to this requirement will occur if employees can furnish proof to the District that because of illness or on approved absence they were unable to work on either of such shifts, and the absence preceding such holiday, by reason of such illness, has not been longer than thirty (30) regular work days. Section 9.1.2. Worked Holidays. Employees who are required to work on the above described holidays shall receive twice their base rate for all hours worked on such holidays. ARTICLE 10 ‐ SICK LEAVE AND OTHER LEAVES Section 10.1. Leave for Illness, Injury or Emergency. Section 10.1.1. Sick Leave. Each employee shall accumulate one (1) day of sick leave for each calendar month worked; provided no employee who works a full school year shall receive less than ten (10) days. To be eligible for sick leave credit, an employee must be in paid status for more than one‐half of the working days of the month. An employee hired between the first day of the month and 15th of the month will receive sick leave credit for that month; employees hired after the 15th of the month will not begin accumulation of sick leave benefits until the next month. Sick leave may be accumulated according to applicable laws of the State of Washington. The District shall post sick leave monthly as it is earned. Sick leave benefits shall be paid on the basis of the employee's hourly rate applicable to the employee's normal daily work shift
18
at the time sick leave is taken. Sick leave shall be deducted exactly as used. Sick leave may not be used for routine physical examinations. Section 10.1.2. As an attendance incentive, an amount equal to one day’s pay shall be automatically added to an employee’s paycheck in June of each year provided no more than one (1) sick leave day has been used during the previous year. Attendance Incentive Program: TA For each day of sick leave earned in a school year, the employee will receive fifty ($50.00) dollars for each unused Full day, up to a maximum of five hundred ($500.00) dollars. Days carried over from year‐to‐year do not qualify for incentive payment. If an employee is on a leave of absence status and does not earn sick leave days, or uses more sick leave days than he/she earned in a school year, the employee does not qualify to receive the incentive pay in that year. The attendance incentive will be paid no later than August of each year. Section 10.1.2.1. Sick Leave Cash Out. The District will apply the provisions of the new sick leave cash out law, as hereinafter provided: Sick Leave Incentive Attendance Program. In January of the year following any year at which a maximum of sixty (60) days of leave for illness or injury is accrued, and each January thereafter, any eligible employee may exercise an option to receive remuneration for unused leave for illness or injury in excess of sixty (60) days accumulated leave from the previous year at a rate of one (1) day's monetary compensation for each four (4) days of accrued leave for illness or injury, which days shall be deducted from accrued leave time. At the time of separation from school district employment due to retirement or death, an eligible employee or employee's estate shall receive remuneration at a rate equal to one (1) day's monetary compensation for each four (4) days of accrued leave for illness or injury. All cash‐out remuneration shall be at the employee's current salary rate at the time of the cash‐out. Section 10.1.3. Sick Leave Provisions. When an employee has exhausted the number of leave hours allowed or accumulated a deduction of the hourly salary shall be made for each additional hour absent. The District and the Union agree that leave sharing is a worthwhile benefit to bargaining unit members who either have consumed all accumulated leave or will, as a probability, consume all accumulated leave before returning to work. In that regard, the parties agree as follows:
A. Individualized Eligibility Determination: An employee may apply for leave sharing provided they have met the following criteria in accordance with RCW 41.04.660.

a. Go on leave without pay status; or b. Terminate employment
3. The employee has diligently pursued and has been found to be ineligible
for industrial insurance benefits.
B. Determination of Degree of Benefit and Conditions: 1. The Superintendent or designee and a Union representative shall
determine the amount of leave which the affected employee shall be allowed. This determination shall be based upon the written confirmation of a medical doctor, referred to at (1) or (2) above.
2. No employee shall receive more than one hundred eighty (180) days of donated leave per contract year.
3. A staff member who has an accrued annual leave (vacation) balance of more than ten (10) days may request to transfer up to six (6) days to another staff member authorized to receive shared leave. A staff member may not transfer leave that would result in an accrued annual leave balance of fewer than ten (10) days.
4. An employee who does not receive annual leave but who has an accrued sick leave balance of more than sixty (60) days may request that the District transfer up to six (6) days of accumulated sick leave to the affected employee, provided that in no event will a transfer be allowed to reduce the donor's sick leave balance below sixty (60) days.
5. The District shall develop forms and procedures necessary to implement the sick leave and annual leave sharing.
6. Contributions of leave shall be on a voluntary basis and the names of donors shall be kept confidential. The Union shall be permitted to make the membership aware of the need for donations but shall be precluded from individual solicitations. The names of individuals who do or do not make donations shall not be published.
20
7. Leave transfers may be allowed to IUOE bargaining unit members currently employed by the District regardless of bargaining group.
8. Recipients of donated leave shall continue to be District employees and shall continue to receive normal employee benefits.
9. In the event the employee receiving donated leave does not use all leave donated, the unused donated leave in such employee's leave account shall be returned to donor, prorata, within forty‐five (45) days after the donee's use of accumulated leave ceases.

Section 10.1.3. Modified Work. Under certain conditions, an employee may be
allowed to temporarily perform modified work in order to accommodate the employee’s physical restrictions. This may be done only with the approval of the attending physician, the immediate supervisor, and the Director of Employee Services or designee. Pay will be prorated after the leave allocation has been exhausted. Each case will be individually considered as to feasibility.
Section 10.1.4. Physician's Statement. If an employee is absent for a period of five (5) consecutive days or more due to illness or injury, if an employee is absent and has no accrued sick leave, if the employee has requested and been denied other leave for the same days as the employee takes emergency or sick leave, if the employee is on an attendance improvement plan, or if the supervisor in consultation with an Employee Services administrator has reason to believe an employee’s ability to perform the essential functions of the job are impaired, a physician's certificate attesting to the illness or injury and to the employee's fitness to perform his/her duties may be required at the discretion and expense of the District.

B. Emergency leave granted for "other emergencies" shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) consecutive working days for each incident.
Written application for consideration for emergency leave will be by means of the absence affidavit. The decision regarding this request shall be communicated to the employee within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request. All paid emergency leave shall be deducted from accumulated sick leave. Section 10.2. Bereavement Leave. Section 10.2.1. Bereavement leave, not to exceed five (5) consecutive working days, will be allowed with pay for each death in the immediate family. “Immediate family” means the mother, mother‐in‐law, father, father in law, spouse, son, daughter, brother or sister of the employee or his/her spouse, grandchildren or the grandparents of the employee or his/her spouse, or any relative living in the immediate household of the employee. Bereavement leave is non‐cumulative and is not deducted from sick leave. The deaths of more than one family member, as defined above, resulting from a common occurrence shall be treated as a single death with respect to the length of leave granted (Policy 5326). A total of two (2) additional days per year will be allowed with pay for persons not listed above and non‐family members. If additional time is needed it may be granted by the Director of Employee Services. Section 10.3. Maternity Leave.

If the employee does not qualify for the Family and Medical Leave Act Sixty (60) calendar days after childbirth shall be reasonable time to be allowed for maternity leave, unless the employee's physician recommends time beyond sixty (60) days through a written statement, at which time maternity leave extension may be granted. Sick leave shall be granted under the sick leave provision contained herein. An employee returning from maternity leave shall be placed in her former position, or in a similar position in the District. Section 10.4. Leaves Without Pay. The Executive Director of Employee Services or designee may grant leave without pay in accordance with District policy. Requests shall
22
be made in writing, using the prescribed form, and with sufficient advance notice. Written request when possible or message (in case of emergency) for such leave must be submitted through the immediate supervisor to the Executive Director of Employee Services or designee. Unpaid leave may only be granted in very limited circumstances. Examples include illness or reasons covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act, public or political service, union leave, military leave, religious reasons, education leave, or other similar or unique circumstances. Any written request for unpaid leave will be reviewed on a case‐by‐case basis, according to district policy. Other requests for unpaid leave will not be approved. Section 10.4.1. Upon recommendation of the immediate supervisor through administrative channels to the Superintendent, and upon approval of the Board of Directors, an employee may be granted a leave of absence for a period not to exceed one (1) year; provided, however, if such leave is granted due to extended illness, one (1) additional year may be granted by action of the Board of Directors. Section 10.4.2. The returning employee shall be assigned to the same or a similar position as occupied before the leave of absence. Employees hired to fill positions of employees on leave of absence will be hired on a temporary basis. It shall be the responsibility of the employer to inform replacement employees of these provisions. Section 10.4.3. The employee will retain accrued sick leave, and seniority rights while on leave of absence. However, vacation credits, sick leave, and seniority shall not accrue while the employee is on leave of absence; provided, however, that if such leave is approved for extended illness or injury, seniority shall accrue. An employee on leave of absence remains eligible for insurance benefits at her/his own expense. Section 10.4.4. Such leaves as defined above, if granted, shall state the provision for reemployment. An employee who has been granted a leave of absence shall be entitled to a position as determined by the District in the year following the leave year provided that the employee shall give written notification to the Executive Director of Employee Services or designee of intent to return to employment within the District no later than July 15 of the year in which she/he will return.

In
23
the event that an employee is a party in a court action, such employee may request a leave of absence. Section 10.7. Personal Leave. Three personal leave days are granted to employees for the purpose of attending to approved personal or legal business or family matters, providing a substitute can be found. Personal leave is allocated in advance during the month of September. It is noncumulative. Personal leave shall not be used during the last week of school. Unearned personal leave taken during the year will be deducted if the employee terminates during the year. New employees must work ninety (90) consecutive days to earn personal leave. The employee must submit a written request to his/her supervisor(s) two (2) days prior to taking said leave. No more than four (4) employees may take personal leave on any given day. A personal leave day granted but not taken during the year may be cashed out at the end of the year through established district procedure. The cash‐out rate for personal leave not taken is at the rate of one hundred percent (100%) of employee's regular pay. For all employees who do not use personal leave during the year, who opt to cash‐out a personal leave day on a non‐school/non‐contracted day, personal leave being cashed out will be cashed out at one hundred percent (100%) Any cash‐outs will be processed automatically. An absence affidavit is to be filed with the employee’s supervisor on the day following the leave and sent to Employee Services. Section 10.8. Incentive Leave.

On October 1 of each school year, employees who complete ten (10) years of service after contract ratification will be entitled to the incentive day. ARTICLE 11 ‐ SENIORITY AND LAYOFF Section 11.1. Seniority of an employee within the bargaining unit shall be established as of the date on which the employee began continuous contracted employment within the bargaining unit. When employee hire dates are identical, placement on the seniority list will be established by the employees' test scores on the final written driver examination. Section 11.2. Seniority rights of an employee shall be lost for the following reasons:
24
A. Resignation; B. Discharge for any reason contained in this Agreement; C. Retirement. D. Leave of absence exceeding twelve (12) months, excluding military leave and

Section 11.7. Layoff. The term "layoff" as used herein shall be defined as the discharge of an employee as the result of a reduction in force. The term "layoff" does not indicate any continuing relationship or responsibilities between the District and the laid‐off employee except as provided in this Article. Section 11.8. When layoff appears to be necessary, the District will inform the Union as soon as possible and will consult with the Union concerning the implementation of the layoff. In the event of layoff, employees so affected are to be placed on a reemployment list for one (1) year for 12‐month employees and for one (1) school year for less than 12‐month employees. Such reemployment list will be maintained by the District according to layoff ranking. Such employees are to have priority in filling an opening in the previous job assignment held immediately prior to layoff.
25
Section 11.9. Should it become necessary for the District to institute a layoff of employees, the layoff will be completed on the basis of seniority. The employee(s) hired last will be the first to be laid off. Section 11.10.
