Ala. Admin. Code r. 356-X-3-.08

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 1, October 31, 2024

Section 356-X-3-.08 - Hours Of Work

(1) A teacher is expected to be on duty at least fifteen minutes (or earlier if so directed by the department head) before their first assigned activity or duty and should remain on duty for a reasonable time after pupils are dismissed as directed by the department head. Homework, preparation, and grading papers require additional time. The teacher is expected to spend as much time as is necessary to make teaching effective. When unavoidable conditions arise which prevent a teacher from arriving at school at the designated time, the registrar should be notified immediately. The department head will make the determination whether to make temporary arrangements until the teacher arrives or to secure a supply teacher, advising the regular teacher of the decision. Teachers are not to leave school earlier than the designated time except in emergencies and then only with the approval of the department head and notification to the assistant director's office.

(2) Pupils should never be left unattended for any reason. Should a teacher be late or permitted to leave early, the department head must make provisions for adequate supervision of the pupils. The department head should notify the registrar's office when such situations exist and a determination made as to the disposition of such situations exist and a determination made as to the disposition of such tardiness or partial absence.

(3) If it is necessary for a teacher to be absent, the registrar should be notified between the hours of 6:00 and 7:00 A.M. so that arrangements can be made for that working day.

(4) Teachers should spend the time necessary to prepare for the opening of school. The administration is in the school prior to the opening of school which makes it possible for interested teachers to visit and work in the school.

(5) Non-teaching employees are employed on a 40-hour week basis unless otherwise specified in their contract.

(6) Faculty and staff must sign in daily the time of arrival and sign out if leaving campus prior to the end of their duty day.
