6.2.3 Each school shall design their yearly and daily schedules to reflect the priority that teachers are able to plan and prepare to deliver quality instruction. Each school will collaboratively develop and distribute work day schedules which meet the requirements of this Article prior to September 1 of each year. As part of our commitment to inclusive and collaborative practices, SSP’s will actively participate in the creation of building schedules to ensure the fulfillment of student needs. Schedules may be revised as needed throughout the school year. Teachers’ time before and after school on student contact days, will reflect a balance between school-directed time and teacher-directed time. Collaboration is expected both in teacher-directed and school-directed time.
