Teachers assigned to less than 1.0 FTE shall attend a proportionate amount of the professional development days annually that are built into the calendar (e.g., a teacher with a 0.5 FTE assignment shall attend three of the six professional development days.) The determination of which days the teacher shall attend shall be made by the teacher’s principal or other supervisor in consultation with the part-time teacher. Any part-time teacher who is directed to attend professional development days beyond the proportionate amount as described above will be compensated on a per diem basis for any such additional time.
