Reduction in Staff Procedures Limited to Support Teachers. The procedures under this Article 22, including order of reduction, seniority, and recall rights, are limited to the staff and positions covered by this SHTA-ST contract. Support teachers will not have the right to exercise their seniority or contract status for teaching positions covered by the SHTA teachers’ contract; nor will teachers who are covered by the SHTA teachers’ contract have the right to exercise their seniority or contract status for support teaching positions covered by the SHTA-ST contract. 23.01 Part-time employees shall be entitled to the benefits as set forth in this Agreement, however, such benefits shall be prorated according to the percentage of time worked as compared to the total workday for full-time employees based upon a thirty-seven and a half (37.5) hour work week for elementary support teachers and a forty (40) hour work week for secondary support teachers. Proration of insurance benefits means the Board share will be equal to the prorated percentage, after taking into consideration the share of a full time employee (i.e., the employee will pay 12% plus the prorated share of the remaining 88%) and the employee must pay the balance if he/she wishes to obtain the benefit. For example, Total Premium Employee Share Premium% 100.00% Less FTE 100% Employee Shared Premium % (12.00)% 12.00% EE FTE % EEShare % Remaining Premium 100.00% - 60.00% = 40.00% X 88.00% = 35.20% 23.02 For purposes of this Agreement, part-time support teachers will not accumulate seniority. 23.03 Part-time support teachers shall not be entitled to continuing contract status and shall only be employed on a limited contract basis. 23.04 Part-time support teachers shall continue to be advanced on the salary schedule in half steps based upon aggregated part-time service during the years. 23.05 When, by reason of decreased enrollment in a program or change in curriculum, a full-time, continuing contract support teacher is forced to accept a part-time position with the Shaker Heights City School District, that support teacher shall continue to receive full insurance benefits as set forth in this Agreement and will continue to accumulate seniority as if on a full-time basis. Such support teacher’s salary will be adjusted on a pro rata basis and advancement on the salary schedule will be in full steps. All other benefits will be provided consistent with the provisions of Section 23.01. 23.06 Part-time support teachers who are regularly scheduled to work 50% or less (i.e. 225 minutes or fewer for elementary and 240 minutes or fewer for secondary) will not be entitled to a paid lunch or a preparation/planning period. Part-time support teachers who work more than half time but less than 80% time (i.e. fewer than 360 minutes for elementary and fewer than 384 minutes for secondary) will receive half of the regular time for lunch and preparation/planning. Part-time support teachers who work at least 80% will receive a 50 minute paid lunch and the normal preparation/planning time.
