Committee updates RTA joint committee work; appendix G evaluation language ratified and stipend draft to union

Rockport School Committee · May 8, 2025

Summary

The committee reviewed results from two joint committees with the Rockport Teachers Association: a completed evaluation committee that rewrote Appendix G (teacher evaluation) and a stipend committee that restructured tiers and will forward language to the RTA for ratification; district leaders said final stipend costs will be presented at the next meeting.

District leaders told the committee the evaluation committee completed its work and staff recently ratified the updated Appendix G teacher evaluation language; the committee voted to include that updated language in the current RTA contract.

The stipend committee produced a tiered structure to categorize stipends by role and time commitment (examples: 1 hour outside school, travel time for teams that travel). Administrators said reclassification will have a budget impact once ratified but described the change as making stipend budgeting more predictable. "There will be a financial cost. It's not gonna be a giant number, but it's well worth the investment now to clean all of this up," the superintendent said. June Sanfilippo (business manager) and staff will finalize the total cost and present it in the drive for the next meeting.
