Voluntary Meetings. The Board and the Association agree that the administration or the building staff may request unit members to attend meetings on a voluntary basis beyond the normal workday and year. Such voluntary meetings should be for the development and improvement of curriculum and instruction and/or for building level needs. Generally these meetings would be for a half to a full workday. No unit member will be required to attend and no recrimination will be taken for those failing to attend. Unit members who choose to attend such voluntary meetings will be compensated at the current daily substitute teacher rate on a pro-‐rated basis. Compensation will not be available if, as a result of a voluntary program, unit members are able to pick up any professional college growth, continuing education units, or grant funds are available to compensate unit members. Compensation will not be expected for the eight (8) hours of contractually required meetings during the school year that go beyond the workday. (Expires at the end of the 2015-‐2016 school year.) The Superintendent will be the final authority for determining if there is to be any compensation. All voluntary meetings must receive prior approval from the Superintendent. These procedures do not imply additional compensation for attendance at any meetings required as a result of fulfilling an extra-‐curricular supplemental position; or working as a volunteer with any school district support groups such as PTO’s, Academic Boosters, Athletic Boosters, or Music Boosters.
