Common use of Management Team Clause in Contracts

Management Team. The Management Teams at high schools and middle schools shall determine the structure of the instructional day/year (e.g. block schedule, six period schedule, etc.) consistent with the following: a. The schedule must comply with District policy and standards, and State and Federal laws and regulations; b. The schedule must comply with provisions of this Article and this Agreement; c. Teachers shall be teaching students in regular classroom instruction for 280 minutes per day on an annualized average, although minor variances are acceptable if they are necessary to make a particular schedule work; d. The schedule must insure compliance with the minimum number of annual instructional minutes as required by law and e. To permit the Management Team flexibility to determine the instructional day/year schedule, it may include class sizes that exceed the individual class maximum of 35. If such class sizes are disclosed as part of the plan prior to approval, approval of the plan shall be regarded as automatically satisfying important instructional needs under Article X.C. The Management Team shall be composed of no less than twelve (12) people, two-thirds of whom shall be classroom teachers with one-half the classroom teachers elected by their associates. Changes in the structure of the instructional day/year are subject to approval by a secret ballot majority vote of the site SLCTA members, plus approval by the Board of Education. If, after all reasonable efforts, the Management Team's proposed instructional day/year schedule remains unacceptable to either the site SLCTA members or the School Board, the instructional day/year schedule at that school shall revert to a six-period day in which teachers teach five regular periods, consistent with the above-described minimum standards.
