The District and MTI have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding concerning compensation for work that occurs outside the normal contract day and for non-professional work which includes field trips/retreats which include overnights. The major provisions of this MOU areas follows:

1. The District agrees that when opportunities to participate in voluntary activities are presented to teachers, it shall be done in a manner which clearly conveys the fact that teachers will not be penalized or suffer harm for choosing not to volunteer.
2. Teachers who volunteer to participate in non-contract time activity offered by the District shall, at their option, be entitled to receive one of the following forms of compensation:
   1. Professional advancement credits as are available under the Collective Bargaining Agreement Article III-H, if such are requested and approved by the Joint MTI/MMSD Professional Advancement Credit Committee.
   2. Extended employment salary per Collective Bargaining Agreement Article III-I-1, if such is offered by the District to bargaining unit personnel.
   3. Payment to UW-Madison for graduate credits at the special student rate, if such is offered by the District to bargaining unit personnel.
   4. Professional advancement credit or extended employment salary or UW-Madison graduate credits or any combination thereof.
3. Teachers who wish to volunteer to participate in non-contract time activities for no compensation of any kind, may do so.
4. If the activity is a District sponsored field trip/retreat which includes overnight activity, participants and their supervisor may mutually agree to the provision of meals, lodging, time off the following day, and/or substitutes at no cost to the participants.
5. If the activity is approved by DPI, participating teachers may obtain equivalency clock hours toward license renewal.
6. Recognizing that such is a mandatory subject of bargaining, the District or its agents will not grant compensatory time off to members of the collective bargaining unit for service other than that specified in agreement(s) between MTI and the District, without first bargaining with MTI.

Teachers who elect to volunteer for no compensation should first determine that no compensation options can be offered by the District.
