ARTICLE XVI - EXTRA DUTY PAY
| The Board and the Association recognize that, as professionals, teachers are expected to carry out duties which go beyond instruction and classroom preparation and beyond the instructional day. Certain of those duties to which teachers are not entitled to additional compensation are professional responsibility which include reasonable assignment to such activities as staff meetings, parent meetings, committee meetings, and preparation of routine reports. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. | By the end of September, when possible, but no later than October 15th or before the activity begins, the principal or principal/teacher shall designate with the concurrence of the Advisory School Board, those teachers to be offered extra student activity assignments for the school year. However, for the purpose of this Article, tutoring shall not be considered an extra student activity or extra duty if the primary purpose of the tutoring is direct instruction to students. However, additional assignments may be made later in the school year with the concurrence of the Advisory School Board and the Principal. The District reserves the option to not re-employ a teacher as a coach or sponsor for the subsequent school year. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| B. | Extra duty assignments shall be voluntarily assumed by teachers, within fifteen (15) days of accepting an assignment of an extra duty, the teacher shall be given a contract addendum specifying the activity, the number of points, and the maximum compensation. By mutual agreement the addendum may be adjusted at the request of the supervisor or the teacher. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| C. | At the conclusion of the activity the teacher shall submit a request for payment. Upon approval of the Principal, the District will, within thirty (30) days, provide payment in full for the activity. Payment will be made by separate check. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| D. | Each extra duty activity shall earn points as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||
The sum total of points accumulated for each activity shall be multiplied by eleven dollars ($13.00) for 2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008 school years, to determine the amount of extra duty pay to which the teacher is entitled, but not to exceed the maximum as provided in the contract addendum unless there is prior approval of the principal. Assistant coaches will receive an amount as provided in the above system exclusive of 'd'. When co-sponsors share responsibility for an activity, the total amount as provided by the point system for the activity will be prorated on a time performance basis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| E. | Each year of experience in the District as a sponsor of the same type of student activity shall increase the total arrived at in 'd' above at the rate of five percent (5%) per year of experience to a maximum of five (5) years or twenty-five percent (25%). | |||||||||||||||||||||
| F. | A sponsor on travel status shall be reimbursed by the District for actual expenses as per expense receipts submitted by the teacher. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| G. | Nothing in this section prohibits a teacher from volunteering his/her service without compensation for sponsoring the activity. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| H. | This provision is intended to neither cause the District to provide additional compensation for activities previously performed and not compensated (like field trips, etc.) nor to prevent or stop compensation for activities previously performed and compensated (like study hall, future problem solving, VICA, etc.). New activities may be added and may be compensated in accordance with the provisions and intent of this Article. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| I. | Teachers chaperoning students on overnight activities who are not earning points pursuant to paragraph D.c. above, shall be compensated at the rate of $90.00 per night. | |||||||||||||||||||||
