The work day for licensed employees will begin each day of the school year at a time established by the superintendent. Licensed employees who are employed only during the academic year will have the same work day as other licensed employees. “Day” is defined as one work day regardless of full-time or part-time status of an employee. On Fridays and days preceding holidays or vacation periods, the work day shall end fifteen (15) minutes after the students are dismissed.
Licensed employees are to be in their assigned school building during the work day. Advance approval to be absent from the building must be obtained from the principal whenever the licensed employees must leave the school building during the work day.
The building principal is authorized to make changes in the work day in order to facilitate the education program. These changes are reported to the superintendent.
The work day outlined in this policy is a minimum work day. Nothing in this policy prohibits licensed employees from working additional hours outside the work day.
