TEACHING LOADS AND ASSIGNMENTS. A. The Board has the right to determine class schedules (Article III, Board Rights). The normal teacher load would include one preparation period for each full day equal in time to the teaching period length. The Association would be notified of possible changes in the schedule.

This will be avoided as much as possible unless a scheduling problem would arise. 3.
