Teachers Workday Clause Samples
The "Teachers’ Workday" clause defines the standard hours and structure of a teacher’s workday within an educational institution. It typically outlines the expected start and end times, any required duties outside of classroom instruction such as meetings or supervision, and may address variations for special events or professional development days. By clearly specifying these parameters, the clause ensures both teachers and administrators have a mutual understanding of daily expectations, helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes regarding work hours.
Teachers Workday. A. The normal employee workday shall be seven (7) hours and ten (10) minutes in length plus a regular duty-free lunch period. Each principal shall determine the arrival and departure times to meet the above requirement.
B. On days of inclement weather when school begins late or dismisses early, the teacher workday shall be adjusted accordingly.
C. It is understood that teachers will be expected to be present at Faculty Meetings, Parent-Teacher Conferences, Open Houses, and for other reasons that may require the participation of the faculty (e.g. graduation, honors night, Christmas programs and an event of this nature).
Teachers Workday. The Association and its members recognize that each teacher has a professional responsibility to provide the best possible opportunity to each and every student. The Association agrees that a teacher's day is not necessarily coterminous with that of the pupil.
Teachers Workday. A. The teacher workday shall extend thirty-five (35) minutes beyond the student school day as established by the Board. The Superintendent, upon the recommendation of the building principal and with suggestions from the teachers at a particular building, may adjust the amount of time before or after the student school day.
B. If the Board lengthens the workday beyond seven (7) hours and fifteen (15) minutes, the Board and the Association will negotiate over the impact of such change.

The number of contract days will be negotiated annually. Teachers shall work in accordance with established building time schedules to include a 15-minute interval between the end of the regular school day and the start time for the after school program. Such schedules shall include the beginning and ending times of the normal contract day (contract days free from inter-school meetings), the beginning and ending times of the pupils' school day, duty free lunch time(s), the times before and after the pupils' school day, and, in some buildings, the number of and times for teaching periods. A building's normal time schedule referred to in this section shall mean the established time schedule for a building at the time of ratification of this agreement or any building schedule established thereafter by the implementation of this agreement.
2. The Board of Education or its agents may not make any permanent schedule changes at any building or at any level (elementary, secondary) unless the teachers affected have had an opportunity to examine a detailed proposed change and to vote to approve or disapprove the proposed change by secret ballot. This ballot shall be prepared jointly by ACTA and a board designee. The results of such balloting shall be counted by a team made up of an equal number of ACTA and Board designees and shall be presented to the Board at a regular Board of Education meeting. Results of the teachers' balloting is only advisory to the Board.
