Extra Duty Assignments A. Any assignment in addition to the normal teaching schedule during the regular school year shall not be obligatory, except band, choir and drama (if a class), but shall be with the consent of the teacher.
1. Preference in making such assignments shall generally be given to teachers regularly employed in the District. The final appointment will be made in the best interest of the students.
2. Applicants for Schedule B positions must meet minimum requirements as developed by the District
3. If there is more than one teacher applicant for a Schedule B position, the teacher whom the Superintendent deems is best qualified in the activity will be awarded the position after considering the teacher's previous experience in the activity and professional background.
4. If the Board is unable to fill the position with someone from the outside, the Board may assign the position to a teacher.
5. No teacher shall be required to accept more than one (1) such position per school year.
6. Advance notice of any such assignment shall be given as soon as practical but at least fifteen (15) days before the assignment begins except for emergencies and those assignments that begin before the opening of school, or during the first week of school. It is agreed that co-curricular and extra-curricular positions are non-tenure in nature.
B. Returning Staff
1. All persons holding Schedule B positions shall be contacted, by the Athletic Director or Principal, no later than June 30, for fall and winter activities, and October 30, for spring activities, and shall, at that time, indicate their intent to continue in said position.
2. All vacancies shall be posted as soon as reasonably possible.
3. Attempts will be made to fill all positions no later than two (2) weeks before the start of the activity.
C. Experience Credit for Extra Duty. Supplemental pay for Schedule B activities shall be based upon the appropriate salary step of Schedule B. For the purpose of step placement on Schedule B, the following will apply:
1. Teachers will be given credit for each year's experience in a particular activity which they are to perform on the extra duty schedule which is comparable to the previous position (i.e. same sport or activity) they performed at their prior place of employment. However, step placement will be no higher than Step 4 and there shall be no retroactive payment for past years services.
2. When changing positions within a particular activity which is comparable to the previous position (i.e. same sport or activity), step placement will be maintained within and between classes, except that if the change would result in movement to a higher paying class, step placement will be no higher than Step 4.
3. A teacher who is currently holding a position covered by Schedule B will be placed on said pay schedule in accordance with the above provision effective with this Agreement.
4. If a new program is developed during the term of this Agreement, compensation will be made on the basis of the nearest like program in Schedule B.
D. Evaluation of Coaches. Coaches shall be evaluated in writing by the Athletic Director, Superintendent, or other administrator at the conclusion of the coaching season or school year, whichever is earlier. The coach may submit in writing any response desired which shall be attached to the evaluation.
Teaching Assignments No employee shall be assigned to teach in a grade level and/or subject area not within the scope of his/her teaching certificate, except where a position within his/her certification is unavailable or when mutually agreed to by the affected employee and principal, or when determined necessary by the principal. Employees assigned to positions outside the scope of their certificates shall be assigned as soon as possible to positions for which they hold certification.
Shift Assignment Should the University elect to establish a shift on any other schedule than the regular day shift (Monday through Friday) or to assign employees to work on any such shift, the employee(s) with the most seniority in the classification affected or to be assigned on such shift shall have preference in moving to such shift. If an insufficient number of employees in the classification elect to move to such shift, then the employee(s) with the least seniority in the classification shall be assigned to such shift. If positions or shifts are reduced or eliminated or movement of personnel to other shifts is required, then the seniority of the affected employee will prevail in the selection of shift, provided the affected employee can do the required work. Such shift preference is only applicable within the employee's classification.
Shift Assignments When an opening occurs in a shift assignment in an appropriate work group at a location, preference shall be given to employees within the classification who possess the training, ability and any required special qualifications to perform the work required, on the basis of seniority. In the event that no employee desires a shift assignment, employees shall be selected in order of inverse seniority. This provision shall not apply to necessary training assignments. This provision shall not in itself alter the practice of rotating shifts where such practice presently exists. No employee who has a regular shift assignment on the effective date of the Agreement shall be involuntarily displaced from such shift assignment as a result of this Article.
Employees on Long Term Supply Assignments Subject to paragraph d) below, Employees completing a full year long-term supply assignment shall be allocated one hundred and twenty (120) short-term disability days payable at ninety percent (90%) of wages at the start of the assignment. An employee completing a long-term supply assignment that is less than a full year will be allocated one hundred and twenty (120) short-term disability days payable at ninety percent (90%) of wages reduced to reflect the proportion the long term supply assignment bears to the length of the regular work year for the position.
