Split Classes. Every effort will be made to minimize the use of split classes in elementary schools. This is not intended to preclude experimental, innovative or specialized classes. A “split class” for the purpose of this section is a mixture of elementary pupils from different defined grade levels assigned to one teacher or one room for a continuous and extended period of time.
Split Classes. Every effort shall be made to avoid split classes. If a split class is necessary, teachers will be assigned on a voluntary rotation basis. Teachers who agree to teach a split-level class will receive extra compensation of $1,500 per year. * The class size of any split class shall not exceed twenty-five (25) pupils. * Note this change.
Split Classes. Unless established for the purpose of implementing a specific, deliberately planned educational program, no split-grade classes shall be maintained in the elementary schools.
Split Classes. Any teacher assigned a split class responsibility shall be issued a supplemental contract for $500.
Split Classes. The District will not assign a K-6 general education teacher with less than three (3) years of teaching experience to a split class, unless no other options are available. Every effort, including the hiring of new employees, will be made to minimize the number of K-6 general education split classes.
Split Classes. Assigning At the elementary level a split class is defined as a class comprised of students from two different grade levels, for example 4th and 5th grade students, combined into one classroom with one teacher. When split classes are necessary, volunteers from the building and affected grades shall be sought first. No teacher shall be required to teach a split class more than once unless the other teachers in the affected grade levels have taught a split class before. If all teachers in the affected grade levels have taught a split class before, split classes shall be assigned to the more senior teacher first. At the high and middle school levels a split class requiring an additional preparation will be paid a stipend.
Split Classes. There shall not be any split classes in the elementary schools. Exceptions may be made by mutual agreement of the teacher involved and the administration.
Split Classes. 22 1. All elementary school grade level teachers required to teach a split class shall 23 receive compensation equal to overload of two (2) students. Additionally, in 24 the event a split class reaches impact, the overload payment will be triggered 25 at the lowest grade level of the students in the class. At the discretion of the 26 teacher, use of these resources may include, but are not limited to, any one, or 27 any combination of items “a” through “e” below, OR item “f”. 28
Split Classes a. No split classes shall exceed twenty-three (23) pupils in Grades 1, 2, 3; or twenty-eight (28) pupils in Grades 4-5. A split class may not accept additional students.
Split Classes. The District will make every effort to minimize split classes. Elementary teachers will not be assigned to a split class for two (2) consecutive years unless the teacher voluntarily accepts this assignment. If there is an extra specialist block of time, a teacher of split classes will have the opportunity to have their students assigned to that block to allow additional time for preparation. Teachers of split classes may decline the extra planning time.
