Teaching an Extra Class at Bromfield. This portion of the side letter, regarding teaching an extra class at Bromfield, shall expire at the last day of the contract unless the parties agree to extend it further. Bargaining unit members with Professional Teacher Status may volunteer to teach an additional class per year. The bargaining unit member will be paid $5,000 for teaching an extra class in lieu of an administrative/duty period and $8,500 for teaching a class in lieu of the teacher's individual preparation time. Teachers are not permitted to teach an additional class in lieu of common planning time. No more than three members of a single department will be permitted to teach an additional class in a given year. The Principal will review the need for additional classes annually. All additional classes will be posted internally and any teacher with Professional Teacher Status may apply in writing to the Building Principal. Teachers qualified to teach a class outside of their licensure will also be considered. If an additional class becomes available following the close of school and before the beginning of school, it will be posted and emailed to all teachers with Professional Teacher Status at their school email address. The School Committee recognizes that extra class offerings are not a substitute for hiring teachers when the student population/classes sizes indicate such a need exists.
