Common use of Prep Clause in Contracts

Prep. Adult Educators that teach scheduled classes which are publicly financed and state mandated (these include those offered in K-12 including ESL, Citizenship, high school completion, high school equivalency, college/career readiness) will have the following guidelines apply: 14.08.1 For every six (6) hours of instructional time, or a portion thereof, the Adult Educator shall receive one (1) hours of preparation time paid at the hourly rate of the instructor (e.g., a class with 26 hours of instructional time would receive five (5) hours of preparation time). 14.08.2 For scheduled classes that are taught by part-time Adult Educators which are publicly financed and state mandated (these include those offered in K-12 including ESL, Citizenship, high school completion, high school equivalency, college/career readiness) the same formula will apply (e.g., a class with 12 hours of instructional time would receive two (2) hours of preparation time). The preparation hours will not be added to the instructor’s FTE and will be paid consistent with Exhibit D-4. Fee-based (non-publicly financed classes), Community Education classes and instructors are not included in the preparation time formulas. Members that currently receive preparation time as agreed to between the District and the Association in the February 22, 1988 settlement will continue to receive their prep time according to that agreement. That agreement provides 15 minutes of prep for every one hour of instruction.
