(The number of departments will be determined by the RIF units.) After regular full-time faculty assignments and, if requested, one (1) full-time faculty moonlight assignment are filled, Priority Associate faculty within a department will be assigned a minimum fifty percent (50%) load of classes they are qualified to teach but before associate assignments are made, with the exception of sections reserved by divisions that may be assigned to associates to expand the hiring pool.
b. After all contractual load obligations have been met, additional available classes shall first be offered to Priority Associates for up to one hundred percent (100%) load.
c. Associate and Priority Associate positions are not eligible to be applied to the tenure track process, and they will not be assigned an Appointment Review Committee.
Class Assignments. The Union President shall be given the opportunity to discuss teacher assignments before they are approved by the Superintendent.

Experience. Gender, including particularly the assignment to physical education classes. Number of preparations. Qualifications of the teachers, including degree(s), special expertise, and interest. Teacher request.

Class Assignments a. To allow for expansion of the faculty hiring pool and in order to forward the Strategic goals of the College, a defined number of sections shall be reserved for assignment within the division. The number of reserved sections for each division shall be determined by multiplying two (2) sections times the number of departments in the division. (The number of departments will be determined by the RIF units.) After regular Full-Time faculty assignments and, if requested, one (1) Full-Time faculty moonlight assignment are filled, Priority Associate faculty within a department will be assigned a minimum fifty percent (50%) load of classes they are qualified to teach but before Part- Time assignments are made, with the exception of sections reserved by divisions that may be assigned to Part-Time faculty to expand the hiring pool.
b. After all contractual load obligations have been met, additional available classes shall first be offered to Priority Associates for up to one hundred percent (100%) load. Part-Time faculty may be assigned any load up to or exceeding 100% for any number of quarters understanding that Part-Time appointments are non-tenurable.
c. Part-Time and Priority Associate positions are not eligible to be applied to the tenure track process, and they will not be assigned an Appointment Review Committee.
Class Assignments. Teachers and Teacher Assistants may request in writing, no later than May 15th of each year, a particular class assignment for the following school year. The School shall make a good faith effort to accommodate the requests, provided the Employee is qualified for the requested position and the assignment is consistent with the School’s requirements.
Class Assignments. The College acknowledges that a reasonable effort should be made to assure the assignment of courses to Adjunct Faculty Members who are qualified, who have had a continuing history of successful performance at the College, and who are available to teach at times that are consistent with the College’s scheduling. The College shall make offers of assignment to Adjunct Faculty Members who are qualified to teach available course sections and are available to teach at the times the course sections are offered as set forth below. For classes for credit that are being offered, the offers of assignment shall be made at least five (5) business days prior to the start of class. This timeline does not apply to non-credit classes and/or for credit classes on hold. For Adjunct Faculty Members who receive for credit class assignments but who do not receive their for-credit class assignments within this timeline shall be compensated one-hundred-fifty dollars ($150.00), provided the assignment was not previously a class on hold. Assignments of at least six (6) equivalent credit hours will be given, by the College, for the Fall and Spring Semesters to Adjunct Faculty Members who have requested an assignment of six (6) or more hours before offering assignments to new part-time faculty hires with equal or lesser qualifications to teach. Adjunct Faculty Members requesting an assignment of six (6) credit hours shall receive this assignment before any Adjunct Faculty Member receives additional credit hours. If an assignment of six (6) credit hours cannot be provided to all Adjunct Faculty Members who request them, the most senior, qualified faculty who are available to teach at the times the courses meet will be given first priority. Class assignment changes made to Adjunct Faculty Members shall be updated by the resending of an updated questionnaire and acceptance of those changes by the Adjunct Faculty Member back to the appropriate Xxxx.
Class Assignments. Priority in course assignments applies to members of the bargaining unit based on seniority level at the College. After loads of full time faculty members are set, the College shall attempt to make assignments to members of the bargaining unit to part-time faculty members who are fully qualified, who have had a continuing history of successful performance at the College and who are available to teach at times that are consistent with the College's scheduling. The department will assign courses to unit members within their department in order of seniority as defined in Article 6.1 and 6.3 of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed or applied in such a way as to deprive the College of the right to disregard seniority in the assignment of courses in unusual circumstances or when a particular specialization or expertise is needed. The College shall provide to the Union President or designee an updated seniority list by department prior to the fall semester and the spring semester each year. Based on the above criteria, the College shall make course assignment offerings to Adjunct Faculty members who are available to teach at the times the course selections are offered. Retired full-time faculty with appropriate qualifications and experience will be granted priority assignments. Bargaining Unit members who have developed on-line and hybrid courses shall be given priority to teach those courses before any other faculty member regardless of that faculty member's status or seniority. Other faculty may teach additional sections but have no intellectual property rights to the course being taught. Other faculty cannot bump the original developer unless the course interferes with a full time faculty making load and all other options have been exhausted. Course assignments for each semester, including summer, will be made by the College according to the following process:
Class Assignments. 1. Class assignment is defined as classes the unit member is assigned to teach and/or other work responsibilities required to complete the member’s professional day.
2. The principal will notify the department chairperson of the number of sections within the department and the parameters, if any, the principal would like the department chairperson to consider for the assignments.
3. After soliciting and considering department input, the department chairperson will make recommendations to the principal regarding assignments for the coming year.
4. The principal will consider the department chairperson’s recommendations. Additionally, the principal must consider the following criteria: •Parameters communicated to the department chairperson •Credential requirements, including all state & federal requirements •Number of Preps •Special training (e.g. Advanced Placement) •Experience teaching a particular class •Split assignments between campuses •Department member preferences •Department seniority
5. Having considered these criteria, the principal will finalize the class assignments.
6. No class assignments will be made for arbitrary, capricious, punitive, and/or discriminatory reasons.
7. A reasonable attempt will be made by the principal to provide the unit members with their class assignments for the succeeding year by May 1.
8. When a change in class assignment occurs after July 31 a unit member will receive, upon request, one (1) release day for classes previously taught, and up to three (3) release days to prepare for the new class assignment.
9. In connection with the development of the Master Schedule, a principal will post all prep buyouts by position, title, name of unit member and amount of prep buyouts per unit member at each location after July 1. The number and assignment of prep buyouts is subject to change as the Master Schedule changes and the prep buyouts will be updated prior to the end of October (end of first quarter) and March (end of third quarter).
Class Assignments. 4.1. Affiliate Faculty will have the right of first refusal for available classes that they are qualified to teach within their program after full-time faculty have received their classes. Seniority for Affiliate faculty will be determined based on the date of the first Affiliate contract. In the case of a tie, the Affiliate’s hire date will determine seniority.
4.2. Non-Affiliate faculty will receive class assignments based on their seniority and/or subject matter expertise in the courses they are qualified to teach after Affiliate faculty have received their class(es). Seniority will be determined by the date when each course was first taught.
4.3. If requested, the Xxxx will meet with the non-Affiliate adjunct, who is not offered a class, to discuss the decision.
