Members may opt for one of two workday schedules: (1) beginning no later than fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start of the student day and concluding sixty (60) minutes after the student day, or (2) beginning no later than thirty-five (35) minutes prior to the start of the student day and concluding forty (40) minutes after the student day. Members are to notify the Principal of the selected schedule prior to commencement of the first student day. Members may change their workday schedule with at least five (5) days’ notice to their Principal. Upon prior notice, all members will be required to work schedule (1) on days of faculty meetings. B. The starting and ending times of the regular school day for a member may be altered, upon mutual agreement between the member and the Superintendent or his/her designee. C. Notwithstanding the above, upon mutual agreement between a member and the Superintendent or his/her designee, a course may be offered outside of the workday (before or after the normal workday or on weekends) to better address the needs of the students. The Association President will be notified of any such agreement. The course may be flexibly scheduled and may take place on-site (satellite location or Polaris) or via distance learning or a combination of both. Members willing to take on the additional course will be selected based upon qualifications (licensure, experience and training) with the first opportunity being given to qualified members assigned at the on-site location. Seniority will be used as a tie breaker if there is more than one qualified member interested in teaching the course at the location. If there are no qualified and interested members at the location, the opportunity will be given to the member who is both qualified and most senior. The extra course will be factored into the member’s hours for purposes of benefits. The member will be compensated at a prorated 6th hour rate per semester for the extra course.
