1. The Board and the Union shall establish a joint committee to review and consider appropriate staff development programs for new and experienced paraprofessionals.

2. Committees composed equally of representatives of the Board and the Union shall be established at the central, district and division levels to review and reduce unnecessary paperwork required of employees.

Any proposed additional paperwork shall be reviewed by the appropriate level committee and such committee may make recommendations to the Chancellor, community superintendent or division head as appropriate.  The Board shall not act unreasonably on the committees’ recommendations.

Representatives of the parties at the central level will meet as soon as is practicable after the execution of this Agreement in order to develop recommendations to the Chancellor to reduce or eliminate unnecessary, excessive or redundant paperwork or data collection responsibilities of classroom personnel that diminish instructional time.  Issues not resolved at the school or pursuant to the preceding paragraphs may be referred to this central level committee for recommendations for resolution to the Chancellor.
