The Bill of Respect

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.
