Common use of Work Year for Instructional Assistants Clause in Contracts

Work Year for Instructional Assistants. The length of an Instructional Assistant employee work year assignment is normally 183 days; however, this may be increased by the District at any time or decreased through the layoff procedure to meet the conditions created by an economic setback, inoperable facilities, a decrease in the work load, or other condition that reasonably requires a reduction in force. Regarding the three additional work days, building principals will schedule two preparation days during the August LEAP week. One (1) day will be for classroom or building preparation focused on IA assignments as directed by their building administrators and one (1) day may be used for building training or additional classroom preparation as determined by the building administrators. Notification of the scheduled LEAP days will be provided to employees within the first two weeks of August. Building Administrators will determine when the third day will be worked and will provide a minimum of two (2) weeks advanced notification to employees. The Extended Day Supervisor may assign the three extra days to meet program needs with notification of the scheduled days to employees within the first two weeks of August.
