Committee approves MOA extending ARMS school nurse day by 30 minutes on select days
Summary
The committee approved a memorandum of agreement with the teachers association adjusting the ARMS school nurse’s schedule so three days per week she begins 30 minutes later and ends 30 minutes later to accommodate family obligations; an amendment clarified the end time as 2:25 p.m.
The school committee approved a memorandum of agreement with the teachers association to alter the workday for the ARMS school nurse.
Under the MOA, on three days per week the nurse would begin her workday 30 minutes later than the contractual start and remain 30 minutes later to compensate. Board members asked whether the change would create gaps in medical coverage; administrators said families of students with immediate medical needs had been contacted to ensure arrangements and that neighboring schools would serve as backup if necessary. The committee approved an amendment to correct and specify the end time as 2:25 p.m., then adopted the MOA as amended.
The district noted the nurse is the only nurse employed at ARMS and that any coverage concerns have been addressed with families and internal coordination.
