Secondary School Schedules a. Where the school is organized on a seven period schedule, each classroom teacher will be assigned no more than five regular classes. Classroom teachers of vocational subjects may be assigned to teach the equivalent of six classes when organized on a multiple class schedule.
b. Schedules must reflect the need for both individually managed work and time that may be structured by the school leadership team. During a typical seven period day, a school schedule will provide for a minimum of 50 percent of the total non-instructional time during the student day to be individually managed. The remaining time may be available for the work of teams/departments, including instructionally related activities (IRAs) with students. When there is an alternative schedule, the amount of time may be considered on a one-week or two-week basis.
c. For work weeks that are not typical, teams and leadership will determine how work will be accomplished. When a decrease in total available non-instructional time is unavoidable it is expected that, except in emergencies, group meeting time will be adjusted to a greater degree than individually managed time. Teachers may volunteer to teach more than the above.
2. Secondary RTs and ADs will have a reduced teaching schedule providing at least the equivalent of five standard periods per week for their position responsibilities. Secondary RTs and ADs will be excused from regular study hall duties and homeroom assignments. Secondary RTs' and ADs' non-teaching periods shall not be a part of the teacher allocation. When possible, the principal, in consultation with the school leadership team, may provide additional release time to RT/Interdisciplinary RT/ADs based on the size of their departments and responsibilities.
Secondary School Schedules. All full-time secondary school teachers will be scheduled for no more than six teaching periods. Additional teaching periods may be assigned with the professional employee's consent. The Superintendent or their designee may, in their discretion, reduce the number of teaching periods assigned to secondary teachers or to any grouping of secondary teachers. Consistent with recommendations approved by the Board of Education through the ongoing strategic planning process, the District affirms its commitment to phasing in the adjustment of secondary teaching periods beginning with the 2021-22 school year, contingent on the state meeting its funding obligations under the current finance formula, and adequate availability and flexibility of district funds as defined by the Board of Education’s budgeting process. Special education teachers' schedules will be established by the principal in consultation with the teacher and consideration of student and teacher needs.

d. When a school has established an alternative schedule, in accordance with Section E of this Article, the normal assignment for classroom teachers will be the equivalent of five classes. An alternative schedule that involves more than a five-class load or its equivalent requires consent of the Association Leaders/Deputy Superintendents/Chief Operating Officer Collaboration Committee (ADC). Any disagreement about the application of “equivalent” in this paragraph will be resolved by the ADC.

Secondary School Schedules. Where the school is organized on a seven period schedule, each classroom teacher will be assigned no more than five regular classes. Class- room teachers of vocational subjects may be assigned to teach the equivalent of six classes when organized on a multiple class schedule. All other classroom teachers may be assigned one period involving instructionally related activities, other than regularly scheduled classes, with stu- dents in clubs, activities, seminars, and study skill groups, or activities related to a teachers’ Profes- sional Development Plans, and one period for preparation.
Secondary School Schedules. 1. Where the school is organized on a seven (7) period schedule, each classroom teacher will be assigned no more than five (5) regular classes. Classroom teachers of vocational subjects may be assigned to teach the equivalent of six (6) classes when organized on a multiple class schedule.
2. Schedules must reflect the need for both individually managed work and time that may be structured by the ILT. Unit members are responsible for managing collaboration and individual planning to best meet the needs of students. Concerns about effectively addressing team, school, and system goals may be addressed as performance standard issues, taking into account workload and other mitigating factors. During a typical seven (7) period day, a school schedule will provide for a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the total non-instructional time during the student day to be individually managed. The remaining time may be available for the work of teams/departments, including instructionally related activities (IRAs) with students. When there is an alternative schedule, the amount of time may be considered on a one-week or two-week basis. It is recognized that special educators need increased flexibility to complete their legally mandated paperwork.
3. For workweeks that result in an overall reduction in planning, course-alike teams will determine how work will be accomplished. When a decrease in total available non-instructional time is unavoidable, it is expected that, except in emergencies, group meeting time will be adjusted to a greater degree than individually managed time.
4. Teams will determine when they will meet in accordance with the collaboratively established guidelines. When team members are unable to identify meeting times, or fail to meet established expectations the instructional leadership team can determine when and how the team will meet.
