Of the fourteen (14) remaining “half-blocks” five (5) will be CEA periods (as defined in VI B.3), scheduled one per day unless the teacher and administration mutually agree that the CEA periods be scheduled otherwise. 3. Another five (5) “half-blocks” will be preparation periods scheduled at least one per day, during the periods designated 1 through 7. Unless the teacher and administration mutually agree that these preparation periods be scheduled otherwise. 4. The remaining four (4) “half blocks” will remain unassigned and available for designation as mutually agreed upon by the teacher and the administration. 5. If a defined duty (as in Article VI C.3.a.b.d.) is assigned during “X/S&T Block”, it cannot be for longer than a one “half-block” duration unless the teacher and administration mutually agree that these duties are scheduled for a longer duration. 6. The administration will strive to assure that less than full time staff schedules comply with the above. The association shall be informed of any exception. 7. Should department or faculty meetings be scheduled during “X/S&T block” these will result in the meeting requirement outlined in article VI-A to be reduced accordingly.
