Scheduling of Classes. a) Each prep classroom teacher will develop in conjunction with the site principal(s) a schedule which is equivalent to the number of instructional minutes of the classroom teachers at his/her site(s). b) Even though input from each teacher for preference regarding scheduled prep time will be considered, once an equitable workable schedule is agreed upon, the prep time schedule will take priority over individual classroom schedules (i.e., library, instrumental music, computer lab, etc.). c) If a teacher’s prep time falls on a holiday or non-student day, prep time for that day is not rescheduled. d) Prep time will not be scheduled during a classroom teacher’s recess or lunch period. e) Whenever possible, Monday or Friday prep time schedules should rotate through staff members for equity because of the number of holidays and non-student days which fall on Mondays or Fridays. f) Prep schedules may be changed for individual teacher needs (i.e., field trips, classroom teacher absence, special programs, etc.) by mutual consent between the affected teachers, including the prep classroom teacher. The site administrator and/or designee will be notified at least 24 hours in advance by the person initiating the change and must approve of any mutually agreed upon change. g) On minimum days, the prep time will occur according to a pre-arranged and equitable schedule as agreed to by the prep teacher and site administrator. h) Prep teachers will provide instruction on the first day of each school year. As adjustments in the number of classes assigned to schools are made, schedules will be adjusted.
