• Elementary Common Planning Time

We reviewed the results of the Elementary CPT survey. A short version of this will be presented at the School Board Meeting Feb. 15.  

• The current Elementary CPT MOU expires this spring.  As we looked to create an amended version the following areas were addressed.

• We worked on clarifying how sites use CPT, focusing on collaboration between administration and certificated staff to ensure that the time used efficiently at each site.

• Some sites are more successfully implementing their collaboration time than others and some schools need some safety nets to help them along their journey.

• Site Principal and certificated staff will jointly plan their early release calendar.  If they can’t reach consensus then they will default to

• 1 staff 

• 2 collaboration

• 1 PD (with teacher input) or collaboration 

• TK and TK-K combos were discussed

• Dates were adjusted.

• Teachers who lose their prep will be able to replace that time

• Prep teachers will not be asked to make up missed prep time

• K-2 soft start for the first 3 weeks of the school year.

• Teachers who lose their afternoon prep during those first 3 weeks will be afforded 30 minutes of prep during their assessment time (early release). 

• Itinerant teachers will not be making up prep during that time. 

• Common planning for SpED preschool was also discussed.  It will need more revision and will come back in a later session.
