Evening Events. For the duration of this contract, teachers shall be required to attend three (3) evening events per academic year. Back-to-School Night shall count as one, and one three-hour evening conference shall count as one, however, teachers will be assigned to these at the discretion of their building principal. Association members shall not be responsible for recording staff attendance at evening functions. Should school be closed due to weather or other emergency on one or more of said events, attendance at the rescheduled event on another date shall remain mandatory. Attendance at evening events may require pupil supervision, but shall not require preparation or presentation. Certificated staff, who are asked to make a professional presentation at an evening event shall be compensated according to the rates set forth in Article 30, paragraph B. Presentations compensated as such shall not count toward the employee’s required 3 evening events. It is understood that annual “Back-to-School Nights” are to be considered as one of the evening events, and that presentations to the parents are expected of the faculty. For this event only, certificated staff shall not receive additional compensation for presentation. Part time certificated staff members shall have the number of evening events for which they are responsible pro-rated according to the number of hours worked per year. (E.g. a .5 FTE shall be responsible for no more than half of the contractual functions.) At no time shall an employee be responsible to attend less than one evening event per contract year. The events may include Back-to-School Night and evening conferences, at the discretion of the principal. Events for which certificated staff are otherwise compensated, i.e., as coaches, advisors, or music department staff, shall not qualify under this provision. Events occurring on off-district property shall be considered voluntary, shall be compensated according to Paragraph 6 of this Article, and shall not count toward the employee’s required 3 evening events. Currently accepted, district sponsored events occurring on Saturdays shall continue to apply as a required evening event. New Saturday events shall be approved by the committee of building administrators and EAMO selected certificated staff described below. A committee of an equal number of building administrators and EAMO selected certificated staff will create and post a list of potential events and the number of teachers necessary for each for their building. If there is a dispute over whether an event should be included, it will be resolved solely by the Superintendent. Certificated staff will select from this list in order of seniority. The principal shall be permitted to assign events to particular individuals based upon their grade level or content area. In order to ensure adequate coverage at all events, the principal may assign teachers to specific functions. The initial list shall be posted no later than September 15 of each year. Events scheduled after that date will be posted as soon as possible. If a certificated staff member is given more than 30 days notice of an assignment, it may not be refused. If a certificated staff member receives less than 30 days notice, he may refuse, but this will not release the certificated staff from his annual obligation. Events shall be no longer than three (3) hours long. If an event is longer than three (3) hours, it will count as two (2) events of the three. Events beyond three (3) shall be compensated at the rate of $40.00 per hour. Events for which certificated staff are otherwise compensated, i.e. as coaches or advisors, will not count towards the three.
