THE BILL OF RESPECT
The Board of Education recognizes the Bill of Respect adopted by AEL as follows:
The Association of Educational Leaders holds these tenets to be true and self-evident. We believe that:
- OUR NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT IS CRITICAL TO THE PROFESSIONAL STATURE OF OUR MEMBERSHIP.
- WE SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY AND EQUITABLY COMPENSATED FOR THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO WHICH WE ARE ASSIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SALARY GUIDELINES AND WORK SCHEDULES.
- THE MEMBERSHIP SHALL HAVE OPTIMAL OPTIONS FOR FRINGE BENEFITS.
- THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LEAVE TIME SHALL BE RESPECTED ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
- PROFESSIONAL IMPROVEMENT IS ESSENTIAL FOR CONTINUED EXCELLENCE IN LEADERSHIP PERFORMANCE.
- FAIR, CONSISTENT, AND EQUITABLE PRACTICES SHOULD BE ADHERED TO WHEN DEALING WITH PROMOTIONS, ASSIGNMENTS, AND DISCIPLINE.
- THERE SHOULD BE MUTUAL SUPPORT WHEN RESOLVING SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY CONFLICTS.
The Bill of Rights shall not be subject to grievance.
The above is excerpted from the AEL FY25-FY27 Negotiated Agreement between the Association of Educational Leaders and the Board of Education of Anne Arundel County.
