Common use of Primary Responsibility Clause in Contracts

Primary Responsibility. ‌ The Committee and the Association acknowledge that a teacher’s primary responsibility is to teach and that his/her energies should, to the extent reasonably practicable, be used to this end. The professional teacher has full-time duties as a staff member. It is expected that the professional teacher will not allow his/her outside activities to interfere with his/her teaching duties. The parties recognize, however, that teachers must perform certain duties in connection with the governance of students which are necessary to operate, manage, and supervise the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District properly and which may not be directly related to the teaching function. As a condition of employment, teachers shall accept such reasonable in and out of class assignments, including those relating to the governance and safety of students, as are deemed necessary and proper by the Principal, except that no teacher should be required to perform substitute duty or participate in extra- curricular activities. This is not to imply that additional specified duties or duty periods will be assigned to teachers beyond those specified in other sections of this contract or which are currently practiced within each building within the District.
