Planning time

Our contract states tht we should get 250 minutes of planning time a week and 40 min. duity free lunch 5 days per week. If our union finds out we do not the school pays at after hours teaching rates. I think that it is a bennifit of teaching at an organized district. Our school is quite large (over 600 prek -7). We have full time music, art, library and pe as well as a part time PE and music people. Our specials run on a 5 day rotating schedule. This can get tricky for planning time but it usually evens out. It is testing time when we all get "screwed".
We have 15 minutes in the AM before school | |
if we arrive at the designated time (9-9:15 am). Some teachers arrive witht the children so they take their planning time at home. Some teachers like me are there an hour before that. I know that we are not in compliance after school. We should put children on the bus and be back at our rooms by 3:45 but we are usually still dismissing at 4:10. I feel it is in my and my student's best interests to make sure that they get picked up by the right people than to have children roaming the school for an hour after school.
So we really get 249 minutes a week.
We have to meet for close to 90 minutes a week which should be extra but it is not.
