Glenview School District 34
works under a unique teacher contract called “The
Constitution.” This is a description of the relationship
between the teachers, administration and Board mapping
out how all three groups, working together, can make
a difference in student’s lives.
The document assumes, and then puts into action, that
teachers are professionals and should be treated accordingly.
The Constitution, established in 1989, also outlines
a District expectation and support for teachers to be
lifelong learners. Additionally, the Constitution is
a fluid document, meaning nearly all sections of the
Constitution can be modified as opportunities, problems
or issues arise during the duration of the contract.
As part of the Constitution, there are three main standing
committees and the District Coordinating Council that
oversee the working relationship between the Board of
Education, teachers, administrators, parents and students.
The Constitution was ratified in 2007 and the full document is available for review as a pdf document.
The District has created a video to explain more about the Constitution and how it works in the school district. You can view the video through QuickTime.
