The actual period assigned for such duty hours shall be made by the building principal or other appropriate supervisor and shall be adjusted to meet the needs of the department, division or level (elementary, middle school, or senior high) to which the teacher has been assigned. The District has the discretion to modify the workday. No single day shall exceed eight (8) hours. The exception would be where there is a corresponding increase in the length of the teacher\u2019s duty-free lunch time. In such instances, no single day shall exceed eight (8) hours and ten (10) minutes. Changes in individual duty hours shall be discussed with that employee prior to implementation. The Association will be notified of such changes.\nB. Except in cases of emergency or unusual circumstances (shortening of day due to cold weather, etc.), all teachers shall be entitled to a minimum of a one-half (1/2) hour duty free uninterrupted lunch period. Teachers may leave the building during their thirty (30) minute duty free lunch. This minimum may be waived each school year upon a majority vote of the teachers in a particular building in the event that they so desire in order to obtain a more flexible or workable schedule. In case of emergency or unusual circumstances where the teacher is asked to supervise students and not have duty free lunch, the teacher will be able to depart thirty (30) minutes early. If an early departure is not possible, then the teacher will be able to flex departure time by mutual agreement with the building principal. Flextime is intended for use during non-student contact time and not as an exchange for a half or full day of work.\nC. Teachers are expected to be in their assigned area or building from student dismissal time to the time set for teacher departure from the building unless extra-duty, extra-activity or extra-curricular assignments, instructional-related duties or classes taken for college credit conflict.

Teachers are required to attend Open House. Teachers will be compensated one half day (1/2) for Open House. If absent from Open House, the teacher will be required to use one-half (1/2) day leave. Open House is a form of Parent/Teacher Conferences. Teachers are exempt from Open House if attending an approved District competition.\nE. Teachers are encouraged to attend PTA meetings or similar parent meetings called by the building principal and general meetings called by the Superintendent.\nF. In the case of in-service days prior to student contact days, the Superintendent will establish a time schedule which will include the reporting time, lunch time and departure time for said days. Such schedule will be part of the before school information sent to all teachers. In case of general meetings, a dismissal time shall be designated by the Superintendent.\nG. Teachers are expected to serve on committees as necessary. Such meetings will be held within the scheduled duty day when reasonably possible. In making committee assignments consideration will be given to the work involved in each particular assignment, and committee assignments will be distributed among the various members of the teaching staff insofar as reasonably possible. If the meeting time extends beyond the scheduled duty day, the teacher will be able to flex departure time on subsequent days by mutual agreement with the principal.\nH. All activities under the direction and supervision of the school system are an integral part of the curriculum. Teachers, including those with extra- curricular assignments listed in the attached Appendix B, may be assigned an equitable share of responsibilities designed to provide a balanced program for the students of the District. To achieve reasonable equity in the distribution of such responsibilities, extra-duty assignments and extra- activities, such as are described below, shall be distributed as equitably as reasonably possible among the teachers. Extra-duty and extra-activity assignments will be made by the building principal.\nI. The extra-curricular salary schedule shall be in accordance with the attached Appendix B. Teachers newly employed in an extra-curricular activity by the District (including those who were employed by the District in the past in an extra-curricular activity) shall be granted credit on the extra-curricular schedule up to and including ten (10) years of experience (placed at step 11) for previous extra-curricular experience. To qualify for such credit, (a) the previous extra-curricular experience must have been within the preceding fifteen (15) school years and the most recent experience must be within the preceding ten (10) school years, and (b) the experiences must be listed within any category of the extra-curricular salary schedule, and (c) the teacher must have been employed under contract, and (d) the teacher must provide written verification.\nJ. Teachers shall receive pay for approved extra-curricular activities as provided in Appendix B. Additional extra-curricular activities may be developed by the District during the school year. Placement on Appendix B shall be consistent with comparable activities, considering the time and nature of the duties involved. Written notification shall be sent to the Rapid City Education Association of any newly developed extra-curricular activities. Such notification shall be prior to Board of Education approval. Nothing in this agreement or in the attached Appendix B shall be interpreted to provide additional salary or compensation for extra-duty assignments such as hall supervision, nor for such extra-activities as unlisted club sponsorships, faculty meetings, work on professional committees occurring during the school day, PTA meetings, individual parent and teacher conferences, or similar professional responsibilities, nor to duties of a general nature assumed for school functions and activities.\nK.
