Variable Staff Hours Sample Clauses

Variable Staff Hours. The specific employee hours at any individual building must maximize the development and implementation of the educational program of the School District. However, within this framework, it is recognized that separate schools and, in some cases, individual classrooms may have hours which vary from other schools or classrooms of the District. The specific hours for each teacher will be determined jointly by the principal and the individual teacher. The planning of these hours must give consideration to interaction of teachers at various grade levels and in the subject matter disciplines and not impair nor make difficult curriculum and instructional development or in-service training of staff. If mutual agreement cannot be reached between the principal and involved teacher, the teacher shall work the normally assigned building hours. The seven hours and fifteen minutes per day shall be considered a daily average of a thirty-six hour and fifteen minute work week. Persistent violations of this provision by an individual teacher shall cause the building principal to return that teacher to a definite building schedule. Either party may request an emergency variance from the agreed upon hours, except that compensatory time may be required as is consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement.
