Secondary Music Teachers Sample Clauses

Secondary Music Teachers. For grade 6-12 music teachers only, teachers who qualify for relief under the provisions of subsection 3, the following relief options are available: (i) Use some or all of the relief as paraeducator time in the classroom or (ii) Convert some or all of the paraeducator hours to district funds to purchase supplies, materials, field trips, equipment and/or to defer the cost of in-state workshops, including the cost of substitutes. The hours will be converted to funds based on the paraeducator hourly rate for the previous year. Two or more grade 6-12 music teachers eligible for overload relief at a given school may pool all or any part of their relief for any of the uses listed in (i) and (ii) above, provided that if supplies, materials or equipment are purchased they shall remain at that school rather than follow any of the employees who pooled and who later transfer to another school. A grade 6-12 music teacher eligible for overload who would like to use their overload relief for purposes not listed above may submit such a request through the school’s shared decision making process. A grade 6-12 music teacher eligible for overload relief may carry over into the following school year any overload relief earned for the previous year but not used. If such carry over relief is not used the following year, it shall be lost.
