Remote Instruction. The parties agree to use the lessons learned and experience gained in remote instruction to support students who require home/hospital care due to medical needs. During the 2021-2022 school year, the parties will institute a pilot program regarding remote teaching and learning, consistent with the following principles. The parties will continue to meet to negotiate the applicable language for the program:
Remote Instruction a. As members of the bargaining unit will be compensated during the emergency closure of schools, it is expected that they will provide no less than 3 hours of consecutive or non- consecutive instruction per contract day during their regular work hours so they can be available for student interaction. As part of the above identified three hours of direct instruction, each teacher will provide daily contact with their students within the students’ regularly scheduled times. In block classes, teachers will provide at least 30 minutes of direct instruction per block per day. It must still be understood that teachers are compensated for and expected to work an eight (8) hour day.
Remote Instruction. (a) In the event that the DISTRICT offers remote and/or online instruction beyond the 2020-2021 school year, pursuant to Section 4117 of the Ohio Revised Code, the parties shall meet to negotiate any necessary changes to the terms and conditions of employment. Negotiations shall be conducted pursuant to Article II of this AGREEMENT.
Remote Instruction. When engaged in either in school or at home remote instruction, Employees shall follow the schedule, guidelines and directives for remote instruction as established by the District. The Reopening Plan contemplates that some of the face to face instruction may be simultaneously accessed through live streaming by students engaged in remote learning. Employees shall not be required to provide primary supervision to students located in more than one remote location. The parents of students engaged in home remote learning shall be considered the primary supervisors of such students. Students receiving remote instruction in a separate classroom from the Employee providing such instruction shall receive primary supervision from a District assigned facilitator. To the extent practicable, the District shall endeavor to assign remote instruction to Employees assigned to work remotely. Recording of instruction shall be totally voluntary and shall require approval of all parties involved. If changes in the mode of the delivery of instruction are contemplated, the District shall provide as much notice as possible to the Association prior to implementation. The parties acknowledge that an emergency school closure(s) may be proceeded by little or no advance notice.
Remote Instruction. Buildings will create emergency plans so that remote learning can happen as soon as possible in the event of an unexpected school or classroom quarantine.
Remote Instruction. If the District decides to switch to remote instruction, employees who are unable to perform their regular duties remotely and to whom the District does not assign alternate duties shall be provided paid leave for up to five days per school year. If an employee refuses an alternate duty they may take leave as available to them or leave without pay with no disciplinary consequences.
