[i]Beginning in August of 2015, high school students will start class at 7:45 a.m., middle school will be delayed 20 minutes and elementary schools will have 10 minutes added to the day for either recess or lunch.[/i]

My guess is that it will start out for recess and lunch, and [b]then eventually be changed over to more instruction time when the decide it's necessary[/b].  I doubt they'll leave it for extra recess for too long.  [/quote]

That would require bargaining, wouldn't it?[/quote]

I think extending the work day should involve an increase in pay, though paying someone for ten minutes of time seems like a very small increase.  If you increased my work day, I would want more money.

My understanding is that the county's decision to add the ten minutes to lunch/recess is so that they can argue that the teachers should not be paid for those ten minutes because they are not with students during that time.  I have no doubt that the reason they are increasing the day by ten minutes and not fifteen probably has some contract aspect to it as well.   [/quote]
