Common use of COUNSELING ASSIGNMENTS OUTSIDE REGULAR 175 DAYS Clause in Contracts

COUNSELING ASSIGNMENTS OUTSIDE REGULAR 175 DAYS. The District and the counseling staff recognize that the dates needed for counseling services differ from the regular 175 day academic calendar and are essential to fulfilling the needs of students in the District. For that reason, faculty whose primary responsibility is counseling and whose annual teaching schedule allows for blocks of five (5) or more exchange working days within the academic year may be involuntarily assigned up to ten (10) working days of counseling duties different from the regular 175 day academic calendar, during semester breaks and/or Summer session. Involuntary assignments will only occur if there are not sufficient numbers of suitable volunteers.
