C-2.01 In the event that an employee wishes to share his/her position, he/she must submit a written request to do so to the Superintendent of Schools not later than June 1 preceding the school year for which he/she wishes to job share.

The Superintendent, or his/her designee, will meet with the teacher making such a request to determine the working hours and teaching schedule being requested. The Superintendent will then recommend the working hours and teaching schedule to be posted for the remainder of the position to the School Committee for its approval.

The Guild will be advised of any such positions.

The granting of such job sharing is at the sole discretion of the School Committee.

When two teachers share a position, the cost for fringe benefits, personal days, sick days, or any other leaves will not exceed what it would cost the School Committee to hire one person.

The Superintendent will solely determine the allocation of fringe benefits.
