OGCS Employment Information Sheet for 2012
School Year
At Will Employment:
Unless
an ES has submitted a resignation letter to ES Support and Personnel, after
signing your school's "At-Will Employment Agreement For Education
Specialists", OGCS/SSCS administration will assume you have not chosen to
voluntarily terminate your “at will” employment with the charter school, and
will serve the students assigned to you for the following school year. By
continuing to serve students as an Education Specialist with this charter
school, an ES indicates that they have agreed to and will abide by the
information in all of the following documents, plus any additional information
given to you during the school year by school administration.
All
ES employment is considered “at will” employment. “At-will” employment may be
terminated with or without cause and with or
without notice at any time by the employee or the school. No employee of
this school has any authority to enter into an agreement for employment for any
specified period of time or to make an agreement for employment on other than
“at-will” terms.
Please review these documents and the Employee Handbook (http://www.sscs.cc/es/HandbookSSCS2.10.10.pdf) that relate to your 2012 employment with this charter school. School directors reserve the right to add to, modify, or amend these documents at any time (except for the "at will" section).

Eligibility:
Education Specialists become
eligible for enrollment in healthcare insurance upon the date they have their
13th student become “active” with them, as measured each month on the payroll
snapshot date. An ES who wishes to wait for full school benefit coverage may
wait to begin enrollment when their 22nd student is activated. If you do not
enroll at one of these 2 points, then you can only enroll for benefits during
the yearly open enrollment period. Coverage may begin on the first day of the
following month. Pay close attention to the information mailed to you by the
personnel office for specifics.

Assignment
of Students:
Students
are assigned to cleared and trained Education Specialists by seniority and
according to the selections made on the ES Preference Sheet during the initial
interview. Changes to the initial ES Preference selections must have a
recommendation by your ES Advisor and then be approved by the ES Support
Director. We do our best to accommodate the ES’s desired student count within
our school guidelines, although this is not always possible and no promises are
made or can ever be made as to the number of students you will be assigned.
Sometimes ESs are assigned students outside of their preference areas. We expect the assigned ES to serve that
student until another ES can be located. Full-time ESs are limited to 25
students maximum. ESs with other
jobs outside of IEM schools are limited to 12 students maximum. Additional
information about Student assignments is located on our webpage at: http://www.sscs.cc/handbook/studentenrollment/inistuasspol.htm .
