TEACHING LOADS AND ASSIGNMENTS A. Should teacher absences necessitate using teachers on preparation periods as substitutes because no eligible substitutes are available, said teacher giving up his/her preparation period shall be paid at the rate listed is Schedule B for each prep period given up to substitute. Every effort will be made to share the assignments equally. When absences of fifty percent (50%) or more of the day occur, the Administration will call for an eligible substitute.
B. Elementary/Middle School scheduled recess periods will be supervised by non- teachers. Elementary/Middle School teachers may use this as preparation time, as long as it is a scheduled release time.
C. Any teacher may discuss his/her tentative assignment for the forthcoming year with their building administrator and may appeal the assignment to the Superintendent. Teachers who will be affected by a change in assignments or classroom will be notified of their tentative assignment by June 1. Teachers shall be informed of the final assignments and classrooms no later than August 1 unless an unforeseen or emergency situation arises. Should a situation arise, Administration shall notify the Association of the reasons.
D. The staff will be surveyed prior to the end of each school year to determine teaching preference for the next school term. E Because the Board of Education has the statutory duty to educate all children within the boundaries of the school district and those participating in schools of choice, and because the student/teacher ratio is an important aspect of the educational program, and because the number of students the teacher is required to instruct has a direct bearing upon the amount of work required of the individual teacher, the parties agree the size of the individual classes shall be given careful consideration to balance them by the administration. Upon the request of the teacher or association, if educationally appropriate, or economically feasible all options not limited to: balancing class loads, hiring a paraprofessional, or not being able to do anything will be considered. Discussion on whether to do so will be done by the 4th Wednesday count day.
