[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do teachers in HS ever stay after school for study sessions and such or is that only in MS? Is that just done on teacher’s own time and not required if they do?[/quote]

High school is supposed to stay after 1 day per week like middle school. It was always considered to fall under “other duties as assigned” in our contract. Unpaid, but “for the kids”.

With all the BS hall monitoring duty and forced contract hour stuff though, most of us have cut our after school time from 60/90 minutes to the 30 minutes after dismissal we are required to be there.[/quote]

Middle School teachers are no longer required to stay past contract hours (nor any teacher). "[b]Other duties as assigned" is supposed to be only for emergency situations or Back to School Night, not a regular duty.[/b]

None of our middle school teachers are staying this year once a week. I don't think the parents know yet (but admin does). It's going to be a rude awakening. [/quote]

Can you cite the policy that states this?

Admin can hold staff for meetings twice a month for up to an hour each time.[/quote]

I don't have the policy, I think it has been a clarification that Union reps have stated. The 2 faculty meetings a month (each up to an hour) outside contract hours has been in policy a long time.

Our (middle school) used to have once a month faculty meetings and once a month committee meetings (everyone was assigned a committee). Now that non-volunteer committees are gone (other than IEP and other legally mandated), we have two faculty meetings a month - one is all-staff and one is focused on a certain area led by an administrator, but most definitely "not a committee", even if it covers similar areas as the former committees.
