Extra Instructional Period. The normal classroom assignment for middle and senior high school employees, within the minimum hours of employment and specific in this Article, shall consist of five instructional periods and one preparation/conference period. When a need is deemed to exist by the middle or senior high site administrator for an employee to have six instructional periods and one preparation period, and such need is approved by the District, the employee may be given the opportunity to volunteer for the additional assignment. Such employees shall be paid at their hourly rate of pay, as defined in Section 1 c above.
Extra Instructional Period. If a teacher agrees to an extra instructional assignment, payment will be made at the annual rate of one-seventh of the teacher's regular teaching salary, pro-rated for less than a full-year and/or less than five full periods per week. The extra assignment will be in lieu of the teacher's planning period. The teacher will be assigned professional and/or supervisory period(s) in accordance with the contract. If the District determines that two or more candidates are equally qualified, the most senior of those shall be offered the assignment first. Any teacher having a reduced instructional assignment shall not be eligible for an additional instructional period.
