Length of Day. The duty day for all teachers shall be seven hours forty-five minutes. The total teaching time and planning time during a duty day by a teacher shall not exceed six hours and fifty minutes. Should the Board of Education elect to operate the school district on the basis of statutorily defined hours for any given school year, teachers may be required to work or teach more than six hours fifty minutes during the school year. Teachers are responsible for the supervision of students between the teachers' contractual arrival time and the start of classes, and between the end of classes and the teachers' contractual departure time. The nature of this supervision will be determined by the building principals. Only in the case of exceptional circumstances will such supervision extend beyond the normal duty day. Teachers shall be provided a minimum of thirty minutes for a duty-free lunch each day; however, passing time to and from lunch can be counted as part of the thirty minutes allowed.
