Current through June 25, 2024
The Office of Career and Technical Education shall be
				  responsible for collecting and monitoring the assignment schedule of local
				  vocational personnel to insure that the following requirements are met:
1.
Minimum Vocational
				Enrollment
All classes, on a per teacher basis, should have at least an
				  average current year enrollment of ten (10) vocational-technical students. This
				  also applies to multi-teacher departments on a per teacher
				  basis.
2.
Teacher Assignment
(Secondary Instructors)
A minimum of a full-time teacher assignment for vocational
				  activities shall be required for one hundred percent (100%) vocational
				  employment. Any instructor not carrying a fulltime teaching assignment for
				  vocational activities shall have their percent of vocational employment
				  adjusted proportionately.
3.
Contact Hours
(Community/Junior College Instructors)
A minimum of twenty (20) student-contact (instructional)
				  hours shall be required for the community/junior college instructor to qualify
				  for one hundred percent (100%) vocational employment. Any instructor not
				  carrying a twenty (20) contact-hour workload during the preceding semester, and
				  not carrying a twenty (20) contact-hour load during the current semester, shall
				  have their vocational employment percentage reduced to one twentieth(1/20) of
				  the one hundred percent (100%) vocational time reimbursement scale for each
				  contact hour less than twenty (20).
4.
Extended Contracts (Secondary
				Institutions)
MS Code 37-31-13 authorizes reimbursement to school
				  districts for extended contracts for agricultural education teachers and other
				  career related teachers who contribute to economic development. Administrators
				  and counselors are not eligible. The expenditures are subject to approval by
				  the Mississippi Board of Education with the funding level established by the
				  state legislature.
5.
Ten to Twelve Month Employment
CTE instructors and counselors employed on a ten to twelve
				  (10 to 12) month basis and administrators must be engaged in activities
directly
related to their CTE program during the
				  summer months in order to qualify for reimbursement. Violation of this policy
				  will result in personnel being reimbursed on reduced contracts. An itinerary
				  summary of activities and responsibilities of all CTE personnel employed during
				  the summer months (over 10 months) shall be on file in each school
				  district.
6.
Educational Leave
Educational leave time for twelve (12) month reimbursed CTE
				  personnel shall be restricted to six (6) weeks per year for the purpose of
				  securing or maintaining
minimum
certification and
				  licensing requirements.
7.
Conference/Meeting Scheduling
Conference/Meetings which require teachers to be absent from
				  the scheduled lab/classroom activities shall not be held except where
				  activities involve student organizations. Local CTE personnel are expected to
				  attend called CTE conferences and workshops that affect their
				  employment.
