In order to create high achieving, student centered learning environments, teachers are required to attend administratively called meetings. Attempts will be made by Administration to provide ample advance notice to teachers for planning purposes, except in the event of an emergency. Teachers may be excused from attendance at such meetings with prior approval of the building administrator. It is the responsibility of the teacher to secure the information from the building administrator or a colleague in the event they were excused from a meeting.
An attempt will be made not to exceed 20 meetings. For these purposes, a meeting is defined as time spent beyond 30 minutes outside the regularly scheduled work day.
Examples of administratively called meetings may include, but are not limited to staff meetings, meetings with parents (excluding district scheduled parent/teacher conferences), and department meetings.
Teachers will receive no additional remuneration, above their regularly paid salaries, for attending such meetings.
Teachers who are assigned to more than one building will attend meetings called by Administration from the building in which they are evaluated during that year, or which is determined as their home school.
An attempt will be made when possible to schedule IEP meetings during the regularly scheduled teacher workday. IEP meetings do not count toward the 20 meetings.
