Common use of Coverage for Administrator Absence Clause in Contracts

Coverage for Administrator Absence. When there is no elementary building administrator or building TOSA available or present at an elementary school, there shall be a designated certificated employee who fills in during that time known as the Principal Designee. Release time as needed will be provided that individual. The Principal Designee will be compensated by receiving an annual stipend of twelve hundred dollars ($1,200). In elementary buildings with a full-time Assistant Principal, there will be no Principal Designee. When there is no secondary building administrator available or present at a secondary school, there shall be a widely communicated plan designating which employees will fill in during that time. This includes but may not be limited to security personnel, SRO officer, or other designated staff. Plans for building coverage will be submitted every September to the Assistant Superintendent and Association President. The District will make reasonable efforts to minimize the number of times administrators must be absent from their school, including holding after school day meetings rather than during school day meetings.
