What are the voting procedures that schools must follow in order to implement the eight period day schedule?
Provisions of the SSR Initiative (implementation of the eight period day structure) shall only become effective upon an affirmative vote of 66% or more of the teachers (includes counselors) present and voting at each of the schools considering implementation (schools must vote every year). The vote must be conducted by secret ballots during a faculty meeting which must be noticed to the faculty at least five working days prior to taking the vote. The UTD Building steward shall count the ballots and report the results to the faculty during this scheduled faculty meeting.
