Common use of Elementary Only Clause in Contracts

Elementary Only. In elementary buildings, plan time is sometimes provided by library clerks, school technology facilitators, counselors, and GT teachers. When elementary principals know in advance that a library clerk, school technology facilitator, counselor, or GT teacher who provides plan time will be absent, they should use their discretion to determine if it is more cost effective to hire a substitute for the day or pay teachers for their lost planning time. For example, if a library clerk only provides one hour of planning time in a day, it would be less expensive to cover the absence in-house. The purpose of this process is to provide planning time for teachers. Paying teachers in lieu of providing a substitute solves the class coverage issue, but it does not solve the planning issue.
