PROGRAM CALENDAR, SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT

A.  Program Calendar

      At least two weeks prior to the beginning of classes employees will be given the following information about each program in which they work: program starting date, program ending date, holidays, and recesses.  It is understood that the information provided will be relevant to the vast majority of a program's classes, but that individual class starting and ending times may vary.  New hires and employees receiving additional hours through the posting procedure will receive this information when they are assigned to the program.  Reasonable notice will be given for any changes.  This section shall neither be construed as a guarantee of hours, nor as an assurance that any particular class will not be canceled.

B.  Supplies and Equipment

      Recognizing variations in the availability of basic supplies (e.g. chalk, paper, pens, blackboard) and access to equipment (e.g. photocopiers) in CWE programs, and operating within the philosophy of each program, it is the responsibility of the programs to provide basic supplies and access to equipment for the employees to do their jobs.  Each program shall establish, and notify employees of, a reasonable policy regarding duplication of materials.

      No employee shall be required to pay for basic supplies and access to equipment, or to advance funds for such supplies and equipment in anticipation of reimbursement, nor is any employee authorized to expend funds for supplies and equipment without the prior authorization of the Program Director.
