Zero Period. When the District decides to offer a “zero” period class outside the normal teaching day, it will post a notice of the class to be offered. Employees who are interested in teaching a “zero” period class may apply to the principal of the building where the course will be offered. The District will not unilaterally assign an employee to teach a zero period. If the “zero” period class is taught in addition to the teacher’s regular teaching load, he/she will be compensated at his/her hourly rate for each zero period. In lieu of compensation, the full-time teacher may leave early at the end of his/her student contact day, but such arrangement shall not excuse the teacher from attending regularly scheduled staff meetings.
Zero Period. The workday of a teacher teaching a "zero" period is the same number of minutes as a teacher at the same grade level; however, the beginning and ending times will differ. If teachers teach more than five periods at the traditional calendar schools or six periods at the year round calendar schools, their salary will be increased by a pro rata amount.
