Common use of Secondary School Schedules Clause in Contracts

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.
