Grades TK-3 Clause Samples

Grades TK-3. It is the District's goal to make progress toward class sizes in grades TK-3, inclusive, in each of the District's elementary schools that do not exceed a teacher-student ratio of 25:1 by 2017-18. This language is intended to set forth an alternative limit above the 24:1 requirement of the LCFF. This class size ratio shall be calculated in the same manner as the 24:1 ratio under LCFF, as that calculation may change from time to time. The District and SVEA agree that the District's negotiated alternative class size ratio meets all requirements of the LCFF's Class Size Reduction collective bargaining exception. If this subdivision no longer meets the requirements of law, CSR is not fully funded, or implementation of this subdivision 10.2.1 would result in the District paying a penalty or losing other funds available under the LCFF, the District and SVEA agree to commence negotiations on this subdivision 10.2.1 and class sizes at TK-3 will revert to the previous agreement at a ratio of 29:1. 2.1 shall remain in effect until LCFF no longer provides a CSR funding adjustment based on TK-3 class sizes or the LCFF is substantially altered, whatever occurs first. 10.2.1.1 While this subdivision is in effect, any unit member’s class that exceeds the class size limit of twenty-five (25) pupils who are present in the class for 50% or more of the school days in the month, will receive $45 per additional student per month.
Grades TK-3. Grades TK-3 classroom unit members shall receive thirty-six (36) preparation periods per year during the student instructional day. A preparation period at the grades TK-3 level shall equal fifty (50) minutes. Such preps will be scheduled routinely throughout the year.
