Social Worker Release Time. Social Workers shall be granted a minimum of four (4) per month, except in months with less than16 workdays when less time may be approved, for collaboration with general education peers focused on curriculum modifications, differentiated instructional strategies, and assessment/progress monitoring to meet the needs of students who receive social work support. Release time may be incorporated into professional development time or by dividing the time into smaller increments during the instructional day (for example, early release days, time during staff development days, etc.). The Director of Social Work Services should decide how the release time will be allocated.
