Mr. Michael Callahan, President Neshaminy Federation of Teachers 152 Monroe Avenue Penndel, PA 19047-4058 Dear Mr. Callahan: "ibis letter of understanding shall set forth the Dis~ict's practices with regard to the preparation time of bargaining unit members within the Dis~ict elementary schools. Elementary preparation periods are defined in Section 10-32 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Neshaminy Federation of'feachers and the Neshaminy School District. It has always been understood that the preparation time is unencumbered unless there are emergency situations It is also my understanding that the elementary preparation time has been defined as the thirty minutes following the lunch period. In addition, the period oC time that students are in special subject (~r~ music, physical education, library), except (or teachers new to the district for not more than one marking period, is unencumbered. It is to be noted drat the unencumbered preparation time has been used by the cert~Ced staff in professional self-directed activities. llu purpose oC this letter is to recognize Section 10-32, which addresses the preparrtion period. It is also niy understanding that activities such as grade level meetings, parent conferences, observation evaluation conferences, class meerings, and other such acti~ities have been held during the above mentioned preparation rimes and it is ehe practice of the school district that teachers may continue with those activities on a voluntary basis. These examples are characteristic of activities that occur during the preparation time for secondary teachers. Alain, this letter of understanding clarifies the district prrctice with regard to Section 10-32. Sincerely, ~i Gary L. Bowman Ed.D. Superintendent oCSchools GLD:agl
