Section 126-73-8 - Faculty Senate Meetings
8.1. Pursuant to W. Va. Code § 18-5A-5, the school calendar must provide to each faculty senate a two-hour block of time for a faculty senate meeting on a day scheduled for the opening of school prior the beginning of the instructional term and on a day scheduled for the closing of school before the end of the employment term. In addition to the opening and closing of school, faculty senate meetings are to be held during the months of October, December, February, and April, for a total of six two-hour meetings. Faculty senate meetings can be held on days set aside for late arrivals and early dismissals, or part of a non-instructional day. The portion of the non-instructional day scheduled for the faculty senate meeting shall be considered as part of the purpose for which the non-instructional day is scheduled.
8.2. Faculty senates may also schedule a meeting during an instructional day if sufficient equivalent instructional time has been set aside by a school; however, every school in the county must have set aside sufficient time for all faculty senates in the county to meet in this manner.
8.4. A faculty senate may also meet for an unlimited block of time during a non-instructional day to discuss and plan strategies to improve student instruction and to conduct other faculty senate business.
8.5. A faculty senate may elect to schedule a meeting on an instructional day outside of the instructional time for students, and take compensatory time off on the non-instructional day that is provided by the county board for its meeting, as long as the meeting takes place prior to the day that is scheduled in the school calendar.
8.6. If a non-instructional day that is originally scheduled for faculty senates to meet is cancelled due to inclement weather, the county board may, but is not required to, reschedule the non-instructional day in order for the faculty senates to meet.
