My campus used to give us “bonus time” or extra planning time to make up for the minutes lost in PLC meetings, as required by law. This year, with district budget cuts (Austin ISD), part of our schedule change is one 45 min PLC meeting per grade level per week, but they aren’t giving us any extra planning to make up for lost minutes. This breaks Texas Education Code § 21.404** **which states teachers are entitled to 450 mins of planning every 2 weeks.

Is this happening anywhere else? Can we do something about it– even after budget cuts?
