SIDEBAR AGREEMENT

SIXTH GRADE CONSIDERED SECONDARY

The Nashua Board of Education (BOE) and the Nashua Teacher’s Union (NTU) mutually agree that present
language in the Master Agreement be modified to reflect changes in the configuration of the Nashua School System.

The Nashua Board of Education and the Nashua Teacher's Union agree that in every instance in the Master
Agreement in which the term “Junior High” is stated it is understood that the term “Middle School” replaces it. It is
further understood and agreed that where the term “Middle School” applies it will include and be limited to include
teachers of grades 6, 7, and 8. Itis understood and agreed that where the term “Elementary school” applies it will
include and be limited to teachers in grades K through 5 or R through 5. Itis understood and agreed that where the
term “Senior High” applies it will include and be limited to the teachers of grade 9 through 12. It is also understood
and agreed that grades 6 through 12 shall be considered as “Secondary Grades.”

Itis understood and agreed that these changes will be incorporated into the successor agreement between the
Nashua Board of Education and Unit “A” of the Nashua Teachers Union. However, nothing shall prevent the BOE or
the NTU from negotiating changes to this language in the normal course of collective bargaining for the successor to
the 2016-2017 Master Agreement.

The NTU agrees that the Memorandum of Understanding is a full settlement of the issues presented in the grievance
and the NTU will not be seeking monetary compensation for the extension of the work day.
