WORKING HOURS AND WORK LOAD. A. It is recognized that teachers are professionals, and therefore their primary duties may not always be accomplished entirely within the scheduled work day. However, teachers shall be assigned appropriate starting and dismissal times, provided that the total regular work day will be no longer than 7 hours and 35 minutes consecutively, except for one Back-To- School night per year and when faculty meetings are held. Teacher attendance at Back-To- School night will not extend beyond two hours and thirty minutes. Teachers who are unable to attend Back-To School night due to extenuating circumstances may, in cooperation with their principals, make other arrangements for presentation of their programs to parents. In the event that it becomes necessary to assign nonteaching duties during the regular work day, such duties will be assigned on a just basis. In regard to delayed opening and/or early dismissal days as a result of emergency conditions the work day of classroom teachers will be delayed by a length of time equal to the length of the delayed opening, or dismissal of teachers will occur earlier by a length of time equal to the length of the early closing of schools.
B. The school calendar shall include one hundred ninety-five (195) working days for all ten- month teachers. This will include 193 scheduled working days and two days of professional time not scheduled in the school calendar that shall be used as described in paragraph 3 below. Days when students are not present may be used as professional days that will focus on instruction and student achievement. The scheduled professional days will be used by teachers to concentrate on the achievement of their students. Individual planning for instruction, system-wide professional development, professional development at the school level, working collaboratively with colleagues, professional development plan implementation and other team/department work focused on improving student performance are all appropriate uses of these days.
1. Eleven-month personnel: Twenty (20) days more than a ten-month teacher
2. Twelve-month personnel: All represented twelve-month employees shall work the same schedule as 12-month central office staff.
3. The two unscheduled days for 10-month and 11-month unit members shall be professional time, outside the scheduled duty day, that will focus on instruction and improving student achievement, and professional activities that improve the learning environment. If there are issu...
