Supervised study periods (study halls) or other supervisory assignments shall be considered a part of the instructional supervisory load except where such assignments constitute the majority of the employee’s assigned duties. Individual employees may agree in writing to instructional supervisory loads that differ from those above. Beginning with FY 2017 Xxxx County Schools and Xxxx Classroom Teachers Association will establish a committee to develop an implementation plan that may transition all instructional employees, whose primary assignment is student instruction, to a supervisory load consistent across all grade levels. This plan may be implemented during that year or subsequent years.
