Common use of Additional Class Clause in Contracts

Additional Class. When it becomes necessary to offer an additional class, such vacancies shall be posted in accord with Article 7, Section 7.16 of this agreement. Any current teacher with the appropriate teaching credentials may apply to teach an additional class and the administration will make a reasonable effort to distribute additional class opportunities among the candidates who are not assigned an advisory period for such posts. Nevertheless, the Administration may assign such additional classes to candidates who have an advisory period when in the Administration’s discretion such assignment is appropriate. When a teacher is assigned an additional class for the entire year, the amount to be paid shall be one-fifth (1/5) of the teacher’s base salary as set forth in the salary schedule. An additional class for one semester shall be one-half (1/2) of such amount. No teacher shall be assigned an additional class in consecutive years without the teacher’s consent.
