Toward achieving this objective, it is desirable to minimize duty assignments.
The vast majority of school sites employ duty assignment methods that have proved successful over the years; sites will continue to employ such methods. If a problem occurs at a particular site, the following procedure will be followed:
1. A faculty Duty and After School/Evening Activity Committee shall be established, composed of three teachers (a CVEA representative and two other teachers selected by the faculty).

4. A committee shall communicate the position of staff to the principal and serve as a liaison recognizing that the objective is to reach consensus regarding a Duty and After School/Evening Activity Schedule. To achieve consensus, the committee may be required to consult a number of times with the staff and principal regarding a particular issue.
5. After conducting this process to minimize duties, the principal will establish the Duty and After School/Evening Activity Schedule for the year. Should there be staff recommendations which are not included in the plan, the principal shall provide rationale to staff regarding why such recommendations were not incorporated.
