Common use of Lunch Period Supervision Clause in Contracts

Lunch Period Supervision.

Teachers will be provided with a duty free lunch equivalent to the school’s regularly scheduled lunch period unless they request and/or agree otherwise or unless the school’s supervision needs cannot otherwise be met. When all other available forms of supervision have been explored, teachers may be assigned to fill unmet supervision needs. (b) In-school administrators shall work within the spirit of this section to ensure reasonable transition time for itinerant classroom teachers over the lunch period. (c) Teachers, including substitute teachers, who supervise pupils during the lunch period, shall be paid at the rate of $22.00 per hour.

(d) A teacher who accumulates the equivalent of ten (10) full hours may choose to receive one (1) day off with salary in lieu of monetary compensation; a teacher who accumulates the equivalent of five (5) full hours may choose to receive one half (½) day off with salary in lieu of monetary compensation. The maximum number of days off that may be accumulated in any one school year under this clause is four (4); accumulation of days and days taken off will be pro-rated to a teacher’s assignment. Teachers on regular contract will be allowed to carryover two (2) days in lieu from one school year to the next; time in excess of one (1) day must be used by November 30th. (e) Pay for supervision shall be electronically deposited at the Christmas Break, on March 31, and June 30.
