Preparation Periods for Teachers. 1. While the student schedule in effect at the high schools for the 2001-02 school year remains in effect, all high school teachers will normally teach five class periods per day and be scheduled for two periods per day for educational purposes, one which shall be for assigned duties, and one of which shall be for preparation. Whenever a class requires coverage, the class will be covered by a teacher who has no specific teaching assignment for that period. A roster listing the names of all teachers available each period shall be maintained at the desk of the principal’s secretary and available for review at any time. Teachers will be assigned to class coverage on a rotating basis. If there is an emergency need for coverage and a teacher is required to provide class coverage during his/her preparation period more than once in a semester, he/she shall be paid at the emergency coverage compensation rate listed in Appendix D of this Agreement for each class period after the first such occurrence in each semester. If classes do not meet for the full five-day week; the guaranteed average shall decline proportionally. If school opens late or is dismissed early, and a teacher’s release time is scheduled for the before or after school time period, the teacher shall not have a preparation period that day.
