NON-TEACHING DUTIES A. The Committee and the Association agree that a teacher's primary responsibility is to teach.

The Committee, having made provisions for paraeducators, will continue to work toward the improvement of this situation.

No additional compensation shall be paid if negotiations extend beyond the end of an employee's normal work hours. However, a good faith effort shall be made to schedule non-standard workweek employees so that their days off shall not fall on days of negotiations.
