Planning Days. The school calendar shall contain ten (10) planning days throughout each school year. Five (5) of these days shall occur at the beginning of the school year. On all planning days, teachers shall have one (1) hour for lunch.
Planning Days. Upon mutual agreement of the Appointing Authority and the teacher, each teacher shall be provided with not less than three (3) planning days without scheduled activity, and with full access to their work site and materials, during each fiscal year.
Planning Days. Teacher Assistants and Exceptional Education Teacher Assistants shall receive three (3) extra workdays in addition to the contract days. The extra days shall be assigned as follows:
Planning Days. There is recognition that SCCC Faculty may need one or more planning days during the summer quarter for each academic year. It is agreed therefore, that SCCC faculty may individually decide how their nine planning days will be assigned for each quarter of the academic year. Planning days must be spread over at least three quarters of the academic year.
Planning Days. In worksites where paraprofessionals are assigned to work planning days, their work day will be the same as teachers. Principals will provide paraprofessionals with no less than five (5) days’ notice of any required activity to occur on a planning day. Scheduling and duration of lunch periods will be determined after input from the staff.
Planning Days. Professors will be given 5 planning days as part of the 177 day contract year: 3 planning days during fall in-service week to be determined by the administration, 1 planning day during the last two weeks of fall quarter and 1 planning day during the last two weeks of winter quarter. There will be no meetings scheduled by the administration requiring faculty participation during these five planning days, except for new faculty orientation.
Planning Days. 6.5.1 A minimum of two (2) planning days shall be scheduled prior to the first student day in the fall. One- half (1/2) of one of these planning days may be used by the administrator for meetings with professional educators.

In addition, there shall be one (1) day of professional development scheduled prior to the first student day.
Planning Days. Planning days are a school-level decision to be determined based on needs with input from all teachers (via committee, survey, opening meeting, etc.) and approved by the Site-Based Decision Making Council. Planning days/hours may be flexible. For any schools that have flexible planning days, the District and KCEA addressed what types of activities could possibly count toward planning day time. It is understood by KCEA that the District granted permission to its schools to have flexible planning days, but that the District cannot directly mandate what type of activities can or cannot be counted since this is a school-level decision. Planning day activities do not have to conform to KRS 158.070 which requires that professional development be related to classroom assignment and content area, individual growth plan, or the school improvement plan. Professional development activities may be appropriate for planning day/hours. Other ideas for planning days/hours may include, but are not limited to: • Scheduling • transition meetings • end-of-year reports • progress reports and report cards • instructional planning meetings • team and/or department meetings and PLCs • materials/resource management • PTA/PTO meetings • end-of-year parent/teacher conferences The revised “Individual Plan for End-of-the-Year Planning Days” document shall be used by all teachers as a personal affidavit of completion of the hours. Any professional development hours in surplus of the required 24 hours may be credited toward fulfillment of any flexible planning days/hours, approved by the Site- Based Council. Only activities occurring after spring break may be counted toward flexible planning days, but this limitation will not apply to surplus professional development hours.
