High School Teaching Assignments a. It is recognized that three (3) course preparations per week for each high school teacher as part of his/her five (5) teaching assignments, is preferable. However, it is also recognized that flexibility of scheduling for students sometimes requires up to four (4) different course preparations per week. b. A teacher who accepts a sixth (6th) teaching class assignment shall be paid a stipend of 5% per semester of his/her annual salary and shall be relieved of his/her duty assignment. c. In keeping with the long established policy of the Committee and the administration, high school teachers will not be assigned, except temporarily and for good cause, to teach classes for which they are not licensed or which are outside the scope of their major or minor fields of study. d. Where practicable, department chairpersons will be assigned four (4) periods per week for the performance of their supervisory and administrative duties in lieu of other assigned duties and shall be relieved of one (1) teaching assignment. Further reduction of a department chairperson’s load is to be determined each year by the administration based on the department chairperson’s and instructional and budgetary considerations. e. The number of students assigned to teachers at the high school will normally not exceed an average of twenty-four (24) per class, with the exception of specific instances where large group instruction is the recognized norm. The size of classes insofar as practicable shall be predicated upon the methods and materials of instruction, the physical facilities and equipment available, and the recognized goal of a teacher-pupil ratio that makes for the most efficient and effective learning experience for students.

High School Teaching Assignments. The administration at the senior high school shall solicit and consider input from department chairs based on the preferences of department members regarding course offerings.

In course selection, due consideration must be given to various certifications within a single department. Whenever practical, all teachers shall carry an equitable number of preparations. In no case may a teacher be denied a full teaching schedule due to a more senior teacher’s preference. The Department Chairs and teachers in grades 9-12 shall work out schedules and specific teaching assignments cooperatively at a meeting where all members of the department are present. At the conclusion of the meeting, each teacher shall indicate his agreement with said schedule and assignment by signing off on a copy of the schedule.

Teaching Assignments No employee shall be assigned to teach in a grade level and/or subject area not within the scope of his/her teaching certificate, except where a position within his/her certification is unavailable or when mutually agreed to by the affected employee and principal, or when determined necessary by the principal. Employees assigned to positions outside the scope of their certificates shall be assigned as soon as possible to positions for which they hold certification.
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.
Shift Assignments When an opening occurs in a shift assignment in an appropriate work group at a location, preference shall be given to employees within the classification who possess the training, ability and any required special qualifications to perform the work required, on the basis of seniority.

Employees employed in a Long Term Supply Assignment which is less than the ordinary period of employment for the position shall have their sick leave and short term disability allocations pro-rated accordingly. Where the length of the long term supply assignment is not known in advance, a projected length must be determined at the start of the assignment in order for the appropriate allocation of sick leave/short term disability leave to occur. If a change is made to the length of the assignment, an adjustment will be made to the allocation and applied retroactively.
