SHARED TEACHING.
1. The district recognizes that the use of shared teaching positions can enhance the teaching and learning that occurs in the classroom. In order to assess the request for a shared time teaching position, the teachers applying for approval will provide a written proposal which addresses the value to the students and teachers by the proposed shared time position. The plan should identify the responsibilities of each teacher concerning scheduled events throughout the school year (open house, parent-teacher conference, and professional development). Where building meetings are concerned, the teachers will also outline who will have the responsibility for attending the meeting. That teacher will then share the content of the meeting with the other teacher. Examples of shared teaching are:
a. Two teachers teaching in the same position for a combination of trimesters.
b. Two (2) teachers teaching at least (2) assigned classes per day. The teachers' working day for those sharing a position will be a pro rata portion of seven hours (7) hours and fifteen (15) minutes according to the percentage of the assignment shared at the middle or high school level.
c. Two (2) itinerant teachers working at least two (2) days per week.
d. Two (2) kindergarten teachers or elementary teachers in grades 1 through 5 working either a.m. or p.m. Teachers who share assignments on a daily basis will be expected to coordinate and plan daily lessons and activities, which may require additional time on the part of the teacher beyond their school day.
e. Other allocations of time may be approved by the Executive Director for Human Resources, provided the Association and the teachers involved agree on the allocation.
2. The decision to approve or deny a request to share a position rests solely with the Executive Director for Human Resources. Prior to a decision being rendered, a joint meeting will be scheduled with, at a minimum, the applicant teachers, the principal of the proposed building, and the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources. If the request is denied, the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources will share the reasons for the denial with the two teachers. If possible, applications for a shared position should be made not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start of the next trimester.
SHARED TEACHING. 33.1 Teachers may volunteer for shared-time assignments by making application to the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources on or before March 1 for the ensuing school year. Teachers requesting and being granted shared-time assignments shall be notified at least thirty- (30-) calendar days before the assignment begins.
33.2 No shared-time assignments shall come into existence without approval of the Superintendent or his/her designee. Once approved by the Superintendent or his/her designee, a shared-time assignment shall not terminate during the school year without the approval of the Superintendent or his/her designee, except in case of resignation or termination of one or both of the teachers sharing the assignment. In case of such resignation or termination, the Superintendent or his/her designee shall have the right, in his/her discretion, to continue the shared-time assignment by offering the vacated portion of the assignment to qualified laid-off teachers in order of seniority, and in absence of success through that method, by hiring a temporary replacement or replacements.
33.3 A shared-time assignment may be continued for an additional school year by agreement between the teachers involved and the superintendent or his/her designee. However, in any case where termination of the assignment at the end of a school year would result in the layoff of a teacher, the Superintendent or his/her designee shall have the right, in his/her discretion, to require that the teachers involved continue in the shared-time assignment for the ensuing school year, except in case of resignation or termination of one or both of said teachers. In case of such resignation or termination, the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 33.2 above shall be applicable, with the phrase "temporary replacement" construed to include a replacement for all of the ensuing school year.
33.4 The termination of shared-time assignments by the Superintendent or his/her designee shall not be considered an involuntary transfer.
SHARED TEACHING. Teachers who desire to enter into a shared-teaching arrangement, which has been recommended by the building principal, shall submit their written proposal to the Assistant Superintendent of Schools for approval. Each teacher’s salary shall be proportionate to his/her assignment, based on his/her placement on the Salary Schedule. The maximum fringe benefit cost to the Board shall not exceed the greater of the two individual costs had the teachers remained on a full- time assignment. Royal Oak Education Association School District, City of Royal Oak Date: Date: It is the intent of the Board of Education to honor both in letter and in spirit Article XIV, Section E, 4, for the Master Agreement between the ROEA and the Board of Education regarding the mainstreaming of special education students in regular education classes. While it is recognized that this goal is often difficult to achieve, it is nevertheless our intention to make every best effort to attain it. As a result, the Board of Education through its representatives will communicate with those administrators who have scheduling responsibilities at the secondary level to establish this as a priority when building administrators are scheduling students prior to and during a given school year. Royal Oak Education Association School District, City of Royal Oak Date: Date: This Letter of Understanding sets forth the mutual agreement of the parties with regard to determining a vocal music teacher’s eligibility for receiving an Elementary Music Supplemental: All elementary vocal music teachers shall be eligible for a supplemental as referenced in Appendix B, not to exceed one such supplemental payment per building.
