Elementary Specials Teachers. Prior to assigning a Specials Teacher to travel, all possible effort will be made to maximize the Teacher’s load within the home building. In the event no designated room is available for a Specials Teacher, internal travel time of five (5) minutes between consecutive sections will be scheduled. All Elementary Library Media Specialists have a 5-day extended contract to allow for opening and closing of the school LRC. Each classroom will be considered a section. Specials Teachers will teach only one section or classroom group at a time. In rare occurrences when combining classes is necessary, combined classes exceeding thirty (30) students will count as 1.5 sections. Combined classes should be the same grade level. Elementary Art, Music, LMS and Physical Education Teachers will have maximum section limits and will be compensated for each section over the limit according to the following schedule: “Special” Maximum Sections Without Travel on the same day Annual Compensation for Each Section Over the Limit Without Travel on the same day Maximum Sections if Teacher Travels on the same day Annual Compensation for Each Section Over the Limit Travel on the same day Physical Education 17 1/17 of the annual salary 16 1/16 of the annual salary Music 26 1/26 of the annual salary 24 1/24 of the annual salary Art 26 1/26 of the annual salary 24 1/24 of the annual salary Library Media Specialists (LMS) 24 1/24 of the annual salary 23 1/23 of the annual salary

For purposes of this paragraph, “incident” shall mean a class period in which the applicable standard is exceeded on a day on which elementary school students are present. Neither of the following sums nor any other relief shall be due and owing for situations in which the applicable standard is exceeded for the first ten (10) consecutive or non-consecutive incidents. For the next ten (10) consecutive or non-consecutive incidents that the applicable standard is exceeded, the teacher shall receive the sum of 1/8 of $7.50 for each student in excess of the applicable standard for each incident.
