2Middle School AdministrationShould the Board determine that it needs to assign one or more middle school teachers an additional teaching assignment in order to meet student needs, the Board shall seek qualified volunteers first before making an involuntary assignment.
Before making any involuntary assignments, the Administration will notify and meet with the BEA as to the subject and grade level assignments needed to try to work out how such assignments shall be made.
If the Administration and the BEA are unable to agree how such involuntary assignments are made, such assignments shall be rotated among qualified middle school teachers for such subject areas, starting with the least senior qualified teacher.
If a teacher is assigned to an additional teaching assignment, the teacher shall be paid a stipend in accordance with ARTICLE 26, Section 13. Additional Assignment Stipends.During the term of the Agreement stipends for an additional assignment shall be in accordance with “base salary” equal to Step1/BA+6.
