When special custodial service is required, the Board may assess a reasonable charge. Representatives of the Association may visit with teachers regarding Association business at school locations before and after school or during the lunch period, insofar as such visits shall not be for solicitation or conflict with other school activities or assigned duties of teachers. Association representatives may visit school locations at other times subject to the approval of the Superintendent. In any event, Association representatives shall report their presence to the principal at the time of entry on school premises.
