Class Size Overload. In the event of class size overload, the employee shall receive either overload aide time or an extra-duty stipend on a rate equal to two dollars and twenty-five cents ($2.25) per student overload per class period in the secondary. In the elementary, overload pay per day is eleven dollars ($11.00) per student or two dollars and twenty-five cents ($2.25) per student per block. The District may relieve a special educator’s overload at any time by written notification of the transfer or removal of students (such notice relieves the teacher of responsibility for those students) or by addition of staff (including aides) or forming a new class section. The teacher may, at his/her discretion, exercise the option to continue the extra-duty stipend in lieu of an overload aide. At the elementary level, if an aide is provided it shall be at the rate of one (1) hour of service per student of overload. At the secondary level, if an aide is provided, service shall not exceed one (1) aide per overload class period. Overload pay is payable in the paycheck following the end of the quarter in which the overload occurs. The administration shall have one (1) five (5) day grace period to resolve the overload in the first grading period of the elementary and one (1) five (5) day grace period each time the students are placed in new classes in the secondary.

Class Size Overload. In the event that these maximum class sizes are exceeded for ten (10) consecutive school days, the District will correct the situation within five (5) additional school days. The following steps will be taken:
A. Where the maximum is exceeded in the elementary schools by one (1) or two (2) students, the teacher will receive overload pay at the rate of twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) per student per day for the duration of the overload, and will be retroactive to the first day of overload.
B. If the maximum is exceeded in an elementary classroom by three (3) students, the District will pay overload pay at the rate of twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) per student per day. Such pay will be retroactive to the first day of overload. (2012) The teacher may opt for paraeducator support in lieu of overload pay. Paraeducator support will be prorated for less than full-time programs or overloaded class periods.
C. For the purposes of overload pay at the P-5 level, if a student is assigned to a class for part of the student’s day, and he/she puts the teacher above the contractual limit, and is served for under a forty-five (45) minute time period, the teacher is credited with one period of overload pay. If the student is served between forty-six (46) minutes and ninety (90) minutes, the teacher is credited with two periods of overload pay, and if the student is served between ninety-one (91) minutes and one-hundred thirty-five (135) minutes, the teacher is credited with three (3) periods of overload pay.
D. The District will pay the teacher with the overload two dollars fifty cents ($2.50) per student per period at the elementary and secondary level. Such pay will begin when the option is accepted and will be retroactive to the first day of overload.
E. In no case shall a teacher be required to serve more than three (3) students over the maximum. Should a teacher, however, agree to do so, s/he shall be provided fifteen dollars ($15) each elementary, three (3) dollars per period secondary (not to include activity periods) for the fourth and fifth student.
F. The determination of whether to accept overload pay or paraeducator time will be made by the classroom teacher and will carry over to the specialist if it places the specialist’s class into overload.
