Introductory Statement
This handbook is designed to acquaint you with FPS and provide you with information about working conditions, employee benefits, and some of the policies affecting your employment. You should read, understand, and comply with all provisions of the handbook. It describes many of your responsibilities as an employee and outlines the programs developed by FPS to benefit employees. One of our objectives is to provide a work environment that is conducive to both personal and professional growth.
No employee handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question about policy. As FPS continues to grow, the need may arise and FPS reserves the right to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of the handbook from time to time as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, and as required by any statute, law, or collective bargaining agreement. The only exception to any changes is our employment-at-will policy permitting you or FPS to end our relationship for any reason at any time. Employees will, of course, be notified of such changes to the handbook as they occur. A complete Framingham Public Schools School Committee Policies Manual is available on the School Committee website.
The handbook is not a contract. In the event that any information contained in this handbook conflicts with federal or state law or negotiated collective bargaining agreements, it is superseded by those documents. This handbook makes no guarantees of employment, compensation, or benefits, and the Superintendent and/or School Committee reserve the right to make changes to the policies and practices at any time at their sole discretion, and interpret and administer the policies in light of changing circumstances and events.
