DRAFT MOU – Nonstudent Contact Time
The Federation and the District recognize that the
increased class sizes and diminished resources
initiated by the shortfall in the California state budget
and its effect on the PUSD budget have increased the
workload of the classroom teacher and impacted the
time of the teachers.
In order to sustain a collaborative culture at each
school site, principals [and] teacher leadership teams
representing the staff will meet for the purpose of
obtaining consensus around site decision in the two
focus areas below:
• Time to adequately address the needs of the
students in their classrooms, and
• Time to address schoolwide goals and initiatives
aligned with our college readiness vision to include
the following:
– Analyzing assessment data to adjust instruction
and set student/classroom/course goals
– Setting department/grade level and schoolwide
goals (SPSA/literacy plan/WASC accreditation)
• Two days will be nonstudent days to use for the
above purposes. Some of the time that has been
created by time banking or professional growth may
be used for the purposes described above, as
agreed upon by the staff.
Exclusive of supervision duties or stipend duties and
outside of the two hours specifically addressed below,
all other time outside of direct student contact time
shall be preserved as teacher directed time, for
purposes of professional use including time to
collaborate with colleagues by department and/or
grade level, for the purposes of increased student
achievement and professional development.
Up to two hours per month beyond the 7-hour schoolbased work day shall be made available for site
meetings. These two hours may include, but are not
limited to:
• Staff meetings
• Grade level meetings
• Matters deemed of importance by the principal and
the faculty
• Emergency meetings due to extenuating
circumstances may go beyond the two hours/month
• Exceptions to this time frame are the beginning of
the year staff meeting and end of year staff meeting.
The
7 hr work
day includes: time
with students, time
banking/professional
time, and prep time.
Outside the 7 hours
is “enough time to
open and close class”
and a 30 min duty
free lunch.
PUSD BOARD POLICY
SECTION 4.205 TEACHER RESPONSIBILITY
In addition to instructional duties,
responsibilities and tasks which are
primary, teachers are responsible,
secondarily, for related instructional, cocurricular, and student social and
recreational activities. Participation in
such activities is required as a condition of
employment and includes, but is not
limited to, the following activities:
• Preparation of student learning activities
• Tutorial and guidance assistance to students
• Student diagnostic and assessment activities
• School and student record maintenance
• Parent and student conferences
• Meetings and conferences with staff members
• Teacher workshops and institutes
• Districtwide committees

Back-to-School Nights, and other meetings with parents
• Faculty meetings (both school and District)
• Sponsor, chaperon and supervise student activities including athletic contests, rec
theatrical presentations, dances, and social activities
• Playground duty, bus-loading supervision, and restroom supervision
• Other school-related meetings, functions, and responsibilities as designated by th
Superintendent or building principal

These two hours shall not be taken during the
designated Tim Banking time unless agreed upon by
the principal and staff. The parties recognize and
acknowledge that “time” (Time Banking, Collaboration,
and/or Professional Time) represents contracted work
hours for the purposes of administering the Collective
Bargaining Agreement.
Sensitive to time constraints of the teachers, Back to
School Night will be held and Spring Open House will
be suspended as part of the contract day for two
years. Other after school and/or evening activities
shall be teacher initiated, optional, and/or voluntary,
unless part of a co-curricular program, supervision
duties, or stipend duties.
This agreement will expire on June 30, 2012, but
may be renewed by signed approval of both
parties.
