Fortune School of Education MOU.pdf
Summary: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires that an institution seeking to offer new educator preparation programs must first be approved through the CTC's Initial Institution Approval process in order to become a program sponsor for, among other things, making credential recommendations. Fortune School of Education is undertaking all steps reasonably necessary to diligently attain such approval through the IIA process. Until Fortune receives Provisional Approval, Mt. Diablo Unified School District is the program sponsor for certain Fortune educator-preparation programs. A Mt. Diablo Unified School District employee must submit the credential recommendations to the CTC for all District-sponsored educator preparation programs.

Therefore, the Fortune credential analyst will apply for an at-will, part-time (not to exceed 16 hours per week), hourly, fixed-term not to exceed one year, temporary position as "Credential Analyst, Fortune". In the event that Fortune has not completed the IIA process through no fault of its own despite reasonably diligent efforts to obtain CTC approval, this agreement shall automatically renew for a one-year term. The Credential Analyst will be a member of the Diablo Managers Association.

The responsibilities of the Credential Analyst, Fortune shall be to perform all work reasonably necessary to process Fortune candidate credentials. Other District employees shall not perform any duties associated with serving Fortune students.

The Credential Analyst, Fortune shall be subject to all District policies and procedures and all the requirements of performance and conduct applicable to other District employees. The Credential Analyst, Fortune may be released from employment without advance notice, and shall have not expectation of continued employment.
