Sixth Teaching Period. In the event that the District cannot cover all class sections with the above limitations, teachers may be assigned a sixth teaching period subject to the following conditions:

The District may select a volunteer for the additional course pursuant to Section 80.2(c) of the Commissioner’s Rules and Regulations.
b. If there are no applicants, the District may involuntarily assign a sixth teaching period to any certified individual in the department of the assigned class. In instances where there are insufficient numbers of certified teachers available within the department, the District may involuntarily assign the additional class to any teacher. The District will consider present teaching load and experience in making involuntary assignments.
c. Any individual teaching the additional class shall be compensated at a rate equivalent to one sixth (1/6th) of BA Step 1 or one sixth (1/6th) of MA Step 1, depending upon the column placement of the individual.

Sixth Teaching Period a. The Board may assign no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the teachers in the High School per year to a sixth teaching period (30 regular classes per week). In calculating the number of teachers available for a sixth teaching period, the instrumental music and driver education teachers will be excluded. These teachers may be assigned a sixth teaching period and will not be included in the base that is used to calculate the potential 25% who may be assigned to a sixth teaching period. Teachers are counted based upon their full-time equivalency (FTE). Teachers teaching a sixth period will not be assigned to a duty period (nor to a homeroom if administratively possible).
b. All Middle School teachers (excluding instrumental music) may have a 5.25 period teaching schedule. This .25 period will be an enrichment class that meets every other day for one half of the year.

No middle school teacher shall be assigned a 6th teaching period other than the .25 enrichment period. This language replaces the original 6th period teaching period for middle school teachers.
