MEMBER WORK DAY. A. MEMBER WORK DAY The normal workday shall be eight (8) hours in length, as scheduled by the District. Such normal work days shall include a minimum of 30 minutes continuous duty-free lunch period and planning time as stated in Section B of this article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the District may offer, and a member may voluntarily accept, an additional class teaching assignment. When class is conducted, a stipend of 1/7th of the member's salary shall be paid to that member. The District and the Association recognize that teaching is a profession which involves certain professional obligations. Occasionally, members may be asked to participate in activities beyond the normal workday including Parents' night, back-to-school night, department meetings, building meetings and parent conferences. The District may require the attendance of staff at some evening activities, or extended activities with students, for which the District will compensate the staff by early release on other days during the contract period. These shall be without additional compensation. However, department and building meetings shall be contiguous to the regular workday. At the beginning of the school year, principals provide members with a calendar of evening events requiring members’ attendance and the scheduled dates. If there are more than three (3), the member shall be compensated at the curriculum rate. In special cases, it may be advantageous for a member's schedule to vary from the "normal" workday. In such cases, a special workday may be negotiated between the member and the administration. When the starting of school is delayed for any reason, the members will not be required to stay longer than one hour after the dismissal of the students. Members may make reasonable adjustments to their daily and weekly schedules as necessary to accommodate professional obligations and to meet personal needs. Members will be professional when adjusting their schedule and shall notify the school office and the principal. In order to provide professional courtesy to administrators, each school will establish a process for notification when an administrator is unavailable.
MEMBER WORK DAY. Members will be on the school premises for educational responsibilities from 8:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., which is 7 hours and l5 minutes, with the exception of the duty-free lunch period. Exceptions to the above may be arranged with the Superintendent. Members will be expected to extend their work day for the purpose of a faculty meeting once a month by mutual agreement with the faculty and the Superintendent. Members will have at least one 30 minute period of office hours posted for availability to parents weekly before or after the normal working day. A duty-free lunch period equal to that of the students but in no case less than 30 minutes. One ten-minute relief period (one in the morning) during the student day except when on duty.
MEMBER WORK DAY. All members’ workday shall be 7 hours and 45 minutes. In the event the Employer decides to revise the workday schedules (i.e., starting and ending times), a meet and discuss will be scheduled with the Association before implementation. Each member shall be given a minimum of 225 minutes of preparation time during a six-day cycle. The Employer shall attempt to schedule this time evenly on each day of the cycle. If a member does not receive the minimum allotment of prep time during a six-day cycle, the member will be reimbursed at the supplemental pay rate pro rata.
