DAILY PLANNING PERIOD. The planning period is part of the teacher’s contracted day. Each teacher will have a minimum of 250 minutes scheduled each week for preparation within the student day, and/or conferences with one block of no less than thirty (30) consecutive minutes. Weeks which include Late Start may reduce plan time to 240 minutes. Late Start does not constitute part of plan time total. Plan periods are not guaranteed on a daily basis but will be scheduled four out of every five days. This period will be free from all duties, including but not limited to playground, hall, lunchroom, or study hall. Every effort will be made to give the teacher 24 hours’ notice of Administrative meetings, Professional Development, Program Enhancement, or Curriculum Alignment that will use part of their daily planning period. Plan periods shall not be used for travel or passing time.
