Employee Work Day. On normal student attendance days, the employee workday will be from 8:00 a.m. until 3:25 p.m. However, to accommodate early supervision of elementary students, the administration may require one (1) or two (2) teachers to arrive fifteen (15) minutes early, and be released fifteen (15) minutes early at the end of the day. Volunteers will be sought for this early supervision. Teachers may be required to attend one (1) faculty meeting per month, as scheduled by administration from 7:40 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.. Meetings scheduled will be posted at the beginning of each semester. Teachers will remain later for extra curricular activities, teacher meetings, scheduled parent teacher conferences, special education meetings and staffings, teacher required detention, and unforeseen emergencies. Supervisory duties will be equitably distributed among faculty, however, this shall not mean exactly equal distribution of supervision assignments.
Employee Work Day. The employee work day for all certificated employees will be seven and one-half consecutive hours (7:40 a.m. to 3:10 p.m.) Monday through Friday including a continuous thirty (30) minute duty-free lunch period.

By agreement of the Building Administrator and two-thirds (2/3) of the building staff, the seven and one half (7 ½) hour work day may be shifted forward or back one-half (1/2) hour. In the case of an emergency or in other circumstances, with the Building Administrator’s prior approval, a teacher shall be dismissed early. In regard to delayed opening and/or early dismissal days, the work day for certificated employees may begin thirty (30) minutes before the scheduled student starting time and may end thirty (30) minutes after the scheduled student dismissal time on that day. Secondary employees will be provided a continuous forty-five (45) minute duty-free preparation period during the student school day. If the district is unable to provide a substitute for an employee absence, the employee requested or approved by the building administrator to cover the class for the absent employee shall be paid for lost planning time at the rate of twenty-five dollars ($25) per planning period. Coverage less than ten (10) minutes shall not be compensated. However, coverage beyond ten (10) minutes in duration shall be compensated retroactive to the start of the coverage. Elementary employees will be provided with two hundred twenty-five (225) minutes per week of duty-free preparation time and such preparation time will, to the fullest extent possible, be during the student school day and in continuous blocks of time on a daily basis. It is understood that the District can continue to utilize recess time and specialist time to help implement this provision. Elementary employees will be provided a continuous forty-five (45) minute duty-free preparation period during the student day provided all of the following are in place:
Employee Work Day.

Teachers will remain a reasonable period of time after dismissal for parent conferences, provided that the parents schedule the conference with the teacher in advance.

The work shall be divided into eight sections for the purpose of determining substitute pay early dismissals. Teachers may leave at the time of student dismissal on Staff Meeting days, Fridays, and the day before holidays. Teachers are expected to be in their rooms one-half (1/2) hour before classes begin and remain one-half (1/2) hour after dismissal unless extra-curricular assignments or professional or departmental meetings conflict.

The 15 minute requirement may be waived in the event a teacher has a district assignment that would preclude compliance. Additionally, any teacher may make a request to his or her building principal for a change in the fifteen minutes before and fifteen minutes after school work day. Each building principal shall be empowered to approve or deny such flex time requests. The length of a conventional half-work day is approximately 3 hours and forty-five (3:45) minutes.
