High School Day. The parties hereto agree that there will be an eight (8) period high school day.
High School Day. 1. Teachers shall be assigned six (6) periods (instructional, academic, intervention/assistance, or duty) every year. Of that total five (5) will be graded instructional assignments or a period requiring instructional preparation.

Members who volunteer to teach a sixth course will be compensated by supplemental contract at .80 of the supplemental schedule for a full year course and .40 of the supplemental schedule for a semester course based on a 50-minute class period. Classes less than 50 minutes will be prorated. A sixth class constitutes the teaching of six separate class periods.
3. Duties related to Continuous Improvement/school improvement requirements may be assigned by the building principal. Reasonable efforts will be made to assign staff on an equitable basis to instructional and non-instructional duty. Members may switch duties with their colleagues with the approval of the administration. Cafeteria duty will be rotated every semester.

Employee’s lunch period on “C” days may be shortened if necessary to accommodate student instructional minutes but shall not be less than 35 minutes.

In the event an employee has elected such a schedule to gain FTE or avoid loss of FTE, these variations shall not be subject to the grievance arbitration process.
d. Each employee will have a preparation/collegial period on either A days or B days, and a shorter preparation period on C days. This time can be used for developing block-teaching strategies and/or for collaborative planning with other members of the staff. It is understood that preparation time, exclusive of the lunch hour, and except as specified in Section E of this Article, is generally time when the employee is not involved with the direct supervision of students, except in an emergency.
e. Seminar will be first period during which teachers will implement a blended instruction model. The teachers’ responsibilities for supporting students during seminar will include assessing their students’ completion of the blended modules which are required for seminar credit.
