Grades K - 6 Clause Samples
The "Grades K - 6" clause defines the scope of a policy, agreement, or provision as specifically applying to students in kindergarten through sixth grade. In practice, this means that any rules, benefits, or requirements outlined in the document are limited to children within these grade levels, such as eligibility for certain programs, services, or educational standards. By clearly specifying the applicable grade range, this clause ensures that there is no ambiguity about who is covered, thereby preventing misunderstandings and ensuring that the intended group receives the appropriate attention or resources.
Grades K - 6. Full time elementary teachers shall have the equivalent of a high school regular class period for planning time within the student day. This time must be in blocks of at least twenty (20) minutes. Grade level colleagues shall be provided the opportunity for simultaneous daily planning time at least three times per week. The principal shall schedule such time.
Grades K - 6. For grades K-6, no class section shall exceed a 30 to 1 student-to-teacher ratio; with the exception of band, choir, physical education and orchestra, without being subjected to the review process as outlined in Section 3, Subd. 1. of this Article.
Grades K - 6 a. In grades K-6, efforts will be made to achieve a goal of thirty (30) students as the maximum class size. If at any time the K-6 classroom exceeds 30 students, a merit rate of $2.50 per day per student in excess of 30 shall be paid. Except for Special Education students, for which overload will be paid at the rate of $.85 per hour to a maximum of $2.50 per day. An attempt will be made not to exceed 34 students.
b. If the overload situation is not resolved after ten (10) school days, payment is retroactive and continues at the rate established in C. 1. a. of this Article, for as many days as the student or students create an overload including the two teacher record days. No overload payments will be made for personal leave days or days when schools are not in session unless made up. No overload payments will be made for exam days, unless sufficient students are required to take exams and create an overload situation. No overload payments will be made on days of in-service when students are not in attendance.
