Student Loads. (a) Full-time Type B teaching faculty must teach a student threshold of 150 students or more in an academic year counted on stable enrolment dates. Type B faculty on reduced contracts will have their threshold reduced accordingly.
(b) Faculty failing to reach their threshold of 150 will be required to teach an extra section in the same or following year OR faculty could agree to increase their class sizes in year two to reach the 150 student limit from year one.
(c) Science Faculty teaching a double block lab count students in the same manner as a class.
(d) When reviewing student loads, UFV will take into account whether a faculty member was teaching on more than one campus, departmental needs, physical space limits and other issues that were beyond the control of the instructor. Should UFV decide to use 18.9(b) above to fulfill the 150 requirement, it would go to XXX for a full review prior to implementation.

(b) Faculty failing to reach their threshold will be required to teach an extra section in the same or following year OR faculty could agree to increase their class sizes in year two to reach the 150 limit from year one.

Student Loads. Except in case of demonstrable emergency caused by unforeseeable enrollment increases, or lack of classroom facilities, pupil loads for teaching may not exceed the following:
A. All teachers - one hundred twenty-five (125) pupils.
B. If these class loads are exceeded due to scheduling conflicts, such conflicts shall be remedied within thirty (30) days. C The composition and the size of Special Education Classes shall be in accordance with state law.
D. Classes containing concentrations of disadvantaged pupils shall be reduced in size as rapidly as practicable to a number which permits optimum learning opportunities for such pupils.
E. Work stations, since facilities in special areas such as Art, Music, Home Economics and Technology Education should not be overcrowded to the point of seriously diminished educational returns, or to the point where crowding or difficulty of supervision presents a safety hazard, the School Committee will exert every effort to see that facilities in these areas will not be overcrowded.
F. The foregoing standards are subject to modification for educational purposes such as large group instruction, team teaching, specialized or experimental instruction and physical education classes, upon consultation with teachers involved and/or Department Heads.
Student Loads. The student load for elementary teachers of P.E. classes shall be between 400 and a maximum of 475 students who receive 60-minutes of P.E. instruction per week. Any elementary P.E. teacher who has a student load within this range shall be considered a full-time FTE. If the circumstances so warrant, an elementary P.E. teacher who has a student load below 400 may also be considered a full-time FTE. In a single day, an elementary P.E. teacher will teach no more than five classes.
