Notes Regarding Budget-Neutral SBOs versus those that require an MOU:
*In order to be budget-neutral, any differences in your calendar/schedule must be consistent with the following collective bargaining agreements: 180 student days, 10 PD days for teachers, and a 7 hour 5 minute work day with embedded arrival time and departure time as depicted in the chart below.
Operating hours / Teacher Reporting Time Prior to Student Arrival / Teacher Leave Time After Student Departure / Daily Total / Weekly TotalElementary, K-8 / 6:40 / 15 / 10 / 7:05 / 35:25
High School / 6:50 / 10 / 5 / 7:05 / 35:25
**If you are requiring teachers and other staffing positions to go beyond the requirements listed above, then you must budget to pay for that additional time. This will require a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)with the union, district, and school. You can approximate the new compensation amountbyusing this formula:
Standard Weekly Total Minutes + Extended Minutes per week* Salary = New salary amount
Standard Weekly Total Minutes
