4. Lunch Time: The length of the guaranteed duty-free lunch period shall not be less than forty minutes unless there is a change in the traditional schedule. 5. Administrative Duty: All teachers may be assigned administrative duty by the building principal during such times of the normal school day other than when teaching time, preparation time, or duty free lunch time have been scheduled. 6. Faculty Meetings: Principals may call faculty meetings where all faculty are expected to be present. Such meetings shall not be more frequent than three times per month, twenty-three times per year, recognizing that from time to time the building principal may find it necessary to call an additional meeting in a given month. The length of the faculty meeting shall not exceed 90 minutes beyond the 15 minutes after the regular dismissal of students. 7. Early Dismissal: When school is dismissed early due to inclement weather, faculty shall be released within 15 minutes after student dismissal. 8. Shortened Day: When the school day is shortened for any reason, such as a delayed opening, an assembly, or an early dismissal that is reasonably foreseeable, the standard administrative practice will be to shorten each period, including the preparation period. If the building principal believes a different method may result in educational advantages, either on a specified occasion or as an alternative standard, he or she shall consult with the faculty, and with the Association’s building representative pursuant to sections C.2 of this Article. The principal will attempt to ensure that each period meets for approximately the same amount of time each semester, as objective circumstances permit. C. Negotiations and Consultation 1.

Building or District-Wide Changes: Except as provided in paragraph 3 below, administrative proposals regarding scheduling changes that are building-wide or districtwide shall be communicated to the Association’s designee by the responsible administrator reasonably in advance of the proposed implementation date so as to allow the opportunity for informal consultation between the administrative decision maker and the Association’s representative, unless an identified emergency exists requiring immediate implementation, in which event such communication shall be made as soon as practicable. The administrator and the Association representative shall make a written record of the consultation. The Association may request Superintendent and/or Board review of any alleged failure to communicate timely. 3. Change from a Traditional Schedule: Any administrative initiative or proposal to change a building schedule from a “traditional” schedule, shall be subject to the following procedures: 18
