Courses required for certification in another field. Instructional personnel shall not be permitted to leave school for this purpose more than two (2) days per week. Instructional personnel who are permitted to leave early under this provision shall not be required to make up the time lost. When it becomes necessary because of distance to be traveled, an instructional employee may be permitted to leave prior to student dismissal if the employee, with the consent of the principal, can arrange for suitable coverage of his or her class.
