Common use of Meeting Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Meeting Guidelines. The District believes in providing flexibility for work schedules and accommodating employees’ work/life balance. However, the schedule for meetings and plan time for TEACHERS must be dictated by the needs and in the best interests of the students. As a result, each TEACHER’S frequency, and number of meetings to fulfill their professional responsibilities may vary weekly and monthly based on their individual role. A reasonable effort will be made by administration to minimize the number of meetings held prior to the student day for elementary and following the student day at the middle school that are not directly tied to students and/or curriculum (i.e. faculty meetings, safety/operations meetings, etc.). These guidelines do not apply to meetings that are considered professional development, have a primary focus on curriculum and/or student problem solving, and/or are voluntary in nature such as a TEACHER’s participation on a committee and/or performing an extra duty.
