Flexible Teaching Opportunities Clause Samples

Flexible Teaching Opportunities. (a) Part-Time Teaching Part-Time Professional Employees will be employed in the same manner as permanent teaching personnel on the basis of a pro-rated salary and district benefits as determined by their qualification and that part of the school day for which they are employed. (b) Job-Sharing (Not automatically granted) (i) The Board of Education supports job-sharing opportunities that may enhance both professional and personal development for certified staff members, without distracting from educational services to students or the district. (ii) Job-sharing means that two (2) staff members will actually share one (1) full time position. However, the amount of time that each staff member devotes to the job is determined by the partners, so long as the total time devoted by the job-sharing partners equals one (1) full time position. (iii) The school district will consider one (1) year job-sharing proposals from two (2) certified teachers who desire such an opportunity. Job-sharing is limited to one (1) position per building and will not exceed one year, but said employees may reapply after satisfactory program evaluation by the administration. The building principal (primary evaluator) will conference with the partners requesting the job-share position to explain the outcome of the proposal. (iv) Job-sharing requests shall be made in writing to the Board Office on or before March 1, unless extraordinary circumstances arise. Teachers will be notified of status by May 1. (v) Job-sharing is different from team teaching. Team teaching requires both teachers to be on the job full-time. Job sharing is also different from part-time employment, where the position itself calls for less than a full-time staff member and the hours are not flexible.
