School Start Times. A. School Start Time.
1. Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, all teachers, except as noted in paragraph 2 below will have a 400 minute student instructional day, with 100 minutes of administrator designed professional time weekly as defined below. Each day shall include: 10 minutes of unassigned time before start of instructional day*; 40-minute uninterrupted duty-free lunch; 1 planning period (at PreK-8, fifty (50) minutes) during each student instructional day; 100 minutes per week “administrator-designed professional time” as defined below.
2. Teachers at Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx will be exempt from the ten (10) minutes unassigned time at the start of the instructional day noted in paragraph 1, above, and will maintain the building substitutes as follows: Enrollment up to 300 1 Building Sub Enrollment 301-600 2 Building Subs Enrollment 600+ 3 Building Subs Participation in the administrator designed professional time is mandatory and members are expected to fully participate in the professional experiences that are relevant to their position. The administrator designed professional time will be scheduled immediately before or after the student school day, Tuesday and Wednesday, in fifty (50) minute increments unless a different time frame is approved via the Academic Achievement Plan (AAP). Through the AAP process, schools may also schedule the administrator designed professional time within an extended student day. This administrator designed professional time will be reflected in the school’s master schedule. The Principal, Chapter Chairperson, and Academic Progress Team (APT) (Appendix Q) are responsible for seeking input from staff to align administrator-designed professional activities to meet the needs of the building staff. This input will be considered by the administration when scheduling the 100 minutes of administrator-designed time for professional activities as outlined below. The parties recognize that reasonable modifications to the scheduled professional activities may be required. These are allowable after consultation with the APT. The 100 minutes of administrator-designed professional time shall be used for:
1. Team Time (which can include grade-level teams, committee meetings, vertical planning, and must include state-mandated programs or initiatives such as Teacher Based Teams)
2. General Collaboration
3. Professional Development
4. Student Support Team (SST) 5. New Program
School Start Times. Beginning with the 2007/08 school year, K-8 bargaining unit members* will report to school ten minutes prior to the start of the instructional day unless modified in this Collective Bargaining Agreement or by future joint agreement of CMSD and CTU. Beginning with the 2007/08 school year, all K-8 and secondary school teachers have a 400 minute work day that follows one of the following two formats: (See Appendix J)
School Start Times. The Federation and the District have agreed to revise the start times for schools to accommodate the arrival and dismissal times for students reflected in the document marked "Exhibit A" (see Attachment B, pages 17-18). These student start times shall continue to be the start times provided that: • Any changes to the start times would be subject to meet and discuss with the union and would not be made for arbitrary or capricious reasons; • Any changes in start times would be set by July 1 of the school year for which the change will be effective. (E.g., changes for the 2022-23 school year would be finalized by July 1, 2022); and • The teacher's regular workday would not start before 7:00 am and would not end later than 4:20 pm. Note: Attachment B called "Exhibit A" is not contract language. Attachment C provides sample schedules for all school levels. These sample schedules were developed in response to the 3-tiered transportation plan the District created to transport students to their schools and the new 7 hour 30 minute workday for teachers. It is understood that individual schools may make needed adjustments to the sample schedules (e.g., a high school may run more than 2 lunches). Any changes to the sample schedules must comply with the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, including the length of the workday.
