Creation of Balanced Classrooms. 14.3.1 The District and MPEA are committed to the creation of balanced classrooms. Every attempt will be made to balance the class based upon a variety of factors, especially including teacher time. Procedures for class placement may vary depending on the site needs but all will solicit input from all relevant unit members. The administrators shall notify the relevant unit members should the placement change occur after creation of the class lists and before the lists are posted. If a teacher believes that they do not have a balanced classroom, they shall meet with the site administrator to discuss their concerns and possible remedies. Including, but not limited to the following: ● providing time for parent conferences, time for meetings with special service providers, and time for training; ● providing appropriate assistive devices, services, and training resources; ● adjusting the teacher’s class load and physical space allocation.
