b. The start time for the following school year shall be published by July 1 with no changes accepted until the next school year.
c. The start times for teachers will be as follows:
i. Elementary: between 8:00 and 8:30.
ii. Middle: between 7:45 and 8:15.
Teacher Work Day. On a regular school day, the teacher work day begin/end times will consist of 7 hours and 45 minutes. The administration will announce before/after school arrival and dismissal times for teachers at the beginning institute day of each year.
Teacher Work Day. 1. Certified staff will have the option to choose one of the following work schedules – 7:40am to 3:40pm or 8:00am to 4:00pm. The certified staff member will complete and sign a form at the fall in-service meeting declaring which option they will follow for the school year. Certified staff will be available for meetings (IEP, staff meetings, professional development) before and after school from 7:30am to 4:00pm regardless of the work schedule chosen and without additional cost to the district.
2. Special activities requiring additional time shall not be included or considered part of A above, but shall be in addition to the minimum day as set out above.
3. Adjustments are at the discretion of the superintendent.
4. On days preceding a non-work day, teachers may leave at 3:40pm regardless of which work schedule is chosen. Teachers will be required to stay on these days if the superintendent finds it necessary.
Teacher Work Day. Professional educators are responsible for a total educational program that includes instructional and non- instructional duties. A schedule for non-instructional duties or responsibilities will be decided upon by the principal and building leadership team. Middle school and high school teachers may be assigned student observation duties for a maximum of one week per quarter. If the non-instructional duty schedule is not resolved at the building level, the issue shall be presented to the Superintendent or their designee and the CEA Co-Chairs for resolution. The District and the Association recognize that professional educators must have adequate time to plan, work with struggling students, and communicate with parents. Schools will give due consideration to these needs when developing the above supervision schedules. The basic work day for certificated staff shall be 7-1/2 hours, including a 1/2 hour duty free lunch and a planning time. Pre K-3 teachers shall not be required to be present during specialist instructional time. The last day of school will be approximately 1/2 day for students and a full day for staff. For the duration of this CBA, as a pilot program, Pre-K-12 students will be released ninety minutes early once per week. The purpose of these early release days shall be to provide appropriate time to address PLC’s and operational issues. At least sixty minutes of each early dismissal will be devoted to PLC work. Building leadership teams will work together with principals to determine how best to document the work of PLC’s. Such documentation will focus on the intent of PLC’s as teacher-focused work, will service the primary purpose of documenting the group’s work for the group’s future benefit, and will not be overly burdensome. Meeting minutes may satisfy this requirement. Each school shall be responsible for submitting to the superintendent (or their designee) a monthly plan which clearly articulates how the allocated time will be utilized. The school plan will be developed utilizing a consensus decision-making model and shall be in alignment with the District’s goals/improvement plan and/or individual school implementation schedules. There will be two (2) additional paid days for all District kindergarten teachers for extra work outside the workday associated with the data entry for the WA-Kids assessments. Employees who are less than a 1.0 FTE will be paid at their per diem rate for attendance at full-day professional development, Distric...
