Conferences

Faculty and grade/department conferences are limited to one a month, unless there is an emergency. These meetings cannot exceed 40 minutes. For faculty conference, principals must set the agenda for each meeting in consultation with the UFT chapter committee.

As the result of an arbitration won by the UFT, faculty conferences must be scheduled on Monday. In single-session schools, they must be held between 8 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. School conferences held in September and June are always held during regular school hours.
