2. Said calendar shall contain six (6) days for emergencies. Any emergency days required to be added, (over and above those originally allocated) which would result in school being in session for less than one hundred eighty (180) days (inclusive of the superintendent conference days), shall be regained by subtracting an equal number of days from remaining scheduled vacation days. Such days shall be established by the District after consultation with the Association. The District may also change scheduled inservice days to teaching days, if necessary and after consultation with the Association, to ensure that the State minimum number of teaching days is met for the school year.

Said calendar shall contain an inservice workday for the elementary schools on the last day of the school calendar if any excess days remain above and beyond the NYS Commissioner’s regulations for minimum number of school year days after unused emergency days have been added to scheduled vacations in accordance with Article XVIII, Section C, Subparagraph 2.

Exceptions may be made with the consent of the affected teacher for IEP or other student services related meetings.
D. The District and the Council recognize that there is a relationship between the amount of prep time an employee has and the number of different academic preparations. When introducing new programs and technologies both parties recognize that training and support is necessary prior to implementation. Both parties also recognize the need to minimize the impact on individual preparation time. Administrators will collaborate with employees whenever possible and attempt to minimize the number of different preparations given budgetary constraints and/or state and federal laws.
