additional course definition
additional course is defined as a course beyond the teacher’s typical full- time class load, which the teacher teaches during the period that would otherwise be the teacher’s preparation period. (Example: If a full-time class load is six half credit courses per semester, a teacher who gives up their preparation period to teach an additional half credit course would be teaching seven classes for the semester and would be eligible for this stipend.). The stipend would be paid in equal installments in each paycheck over the time period in which the course is being taught. Any impact to a teacher’s terms and conditions of employment caused by a change to the class schedule shall be negotiated as required by RSA 273-A. The principal shall assign additional courses under this section pursuant to a transparent process, which shall be shared with the Association prior to the assignment of the additional course(s).
