ADVISORY CASELOADS. The District and NSEA are committed to providing NFP staff with adequate time to provide quality educational services to their students, including meeting all ALE requirements. The District will strive to maintain reasonable employee workloads compatible with the financial circumstances of the District, and the welfare of the pupils. Subsequent to the October enrollment report, whenever the number of pupils assigned to an NFP teacher’s advisory caseload reaches an overload level, the District will specifically evaluate the situation, and within ten (10) school days, take appropriate action to give relief to the employee(s) affected. Such appropriate action for the affected employee shall include one and one-half (1½) days of substitute time each semester for each employee for which the number of pupils assigned for each employee for which the number of students assigned to that teacher’s advisory caseload reaches an average of 26 students.

Such pay will be provided by the March pay warrant for first semester overloads and by the August pay warrant for second semester overloads. This one and one – half (1½) days provision for substitute time each semester may be utilized by the employee in one-half day or full-day increments. In addition to this relief, NFP employees shall be paid as provided below. Such payment will be made in a lump sum at the end of the first pay period following the end of the semester. $525 per semester at over 28 students $300 additional per student per semester Music and PE teachers at NFP will be assigned the same instructional caseload as other teachers, including advisee caseloads.
