Special Workload. In recognition of the special workload considerations involved, teachers (secondary instructors) in the following categories shall be eligible to receive a stipend of $500/semester: • Teachers with more than four curriculum preparations in the same semester or teachers instructing more than 1 credit earning class during a single period of the day (either/or; not both) • Teachers agreeing to accept independent study situations – unless counting these students for class size purposes entitles the teacher to overload compensation greater than this stipend. The intent is to acknowledge and compensate those employees who are accepting additional responsibilities and work in order to meet the individualized needs of students. For example, someone who teaches French II agrees to accept and teach French III to a small group of students during the same period or a science teacher who takes on independent study of physics to meet a request made by 2 students. It is not intended for those teachers teaching classes that students can take more than once for credit like Strength 1 and Strength 2. If a discrepancy occurs regarding eligibility for this stipend, the parties will come together and discuss their differences and come to a decision.
