Professional Expectations. 6.1 The Board and Association agree it is in the best interest of children, our communities, and education professionals for the school to be recognized as a professional setting. In order to encourage an environment that promotes this belief, the Board and Association agree to the following principles:
a. Teachers are professional employees. Teachers will meet their professional obligations and structure their workday to achieve this end. The length of a teacher day shall be seven and one half hours (7.5) hours per day, except as provided below. The length of professional time assigned to instructing students shall not exceed 6 hours per day, except as provided below.
b. Teachers may voluntarily participate in flexible schedules that are mutually agreed upon between the teacher and administrator and that are in alignment with and supported by a transformational improvement plan (Appendix J). A flexible schedule could include an extended school year, extended day program, or alternative program. Compensation for these additional days would be based on their prorated salary. In the event that a flexible schedule requires modification of the length of the school day, the methodology used in determining SPARK program teacher time will be used (see SPARK transformational plan in Appendix J-1.)
