Block Schedules at Secondary Schools. Secondary schools may elect to utilize a block schedule approved by the Superintendent and then by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Professional Employees within the building. If a block schedule is elected, there will be a minimum of eighty-five (85) minutes every other day for planning, preparation and evaluation of instructional activities, and a forty (40) minute duty-free lunch (or any other schedule which meets the current planning time and duty-free lunch standards). The initial election must be made prior to January 1st of the year preceding implementation. The election will be by secret ballot and counted by the principal and NEA SM building representative.
