Information regarding the SBO about PTC for classroom teachers:

See screenshot below from the UFT Chapter Leader Update, that states the SBO for parent teacher conferences are for teachers only.  

For further clarification: SLP/Speech Teachers are under the teachers contract, but we have certain section that just pertain to us and MOAs. In the 2023 contract it states that all PTC are remote. In the MOA 2016 it states that we now have 155 minutes of SESIS time (instead of PD/OPW/PE time). An SBO modifies part of the contract, this particular SBO asks to modify PTC from remote to in person and OPW time. Since we do not have OPW time DOE cannot tell you to come in person and break/modify our part of the contract. Just like the other titles in in your school that do not have OPW time and also not required to be in person. Therefore, principals should be showing you an actual SBO that modifies our part of the contract if they are stating you must be in person.
