Can my principal assign me to a common planning meeting on my preparation period?

No. A principal cannot mandate meetings or administrative duties during your prep period. If you’re directed to do things like these on your prep, you should follow the directive to avoid being insubordinate. Then, you should speak to the Chapter Leader about being paid the coverage rate for your lost prep. You can also file a grievance for the inappropriate assignment and request coverage pay. You can also request that this issue be raised at your chapter’s Consultation Committee meeting.
