PLC/PLT are for Wednesday afternoons. If your team chooses to hold it during planning, you should get Wednesday afternoon for your planning time. (Time for time) You may be asked to give up planning for MTSS once per month. All IEP meetings should be scheduled with your prior approval and DO NOT always need to happen during your planning time. Protect your time to plan by knowing Section 5.08 of the contract.
