School Counselors. If the Board requires any teacher's length of employment to precede or extend beyond the regular teacher's contract year, the teacher will be compensated for each additional day at the rate of the fraction (1/number of teacher days) of his/her annual salary. Counselors shall not be assigned more than one regular classroom teaching assignment unless they are employed as counselors on a part-time basis. Neither shall counselors be assigned attendance functions, discipline responsibilities, administrative and clerical duties (including the laying out of the master schedule) or study hall or lunch room supervisory responsibilities as part of their normal duties. The Board further recognizes that counselors shall have the flexibility to arrange their schedules to permit their taking part in activities outside the school building which are in the interest of the student. These activities shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, liaison activities with community and social agencies as part of the referral process, vocational/educational guidance workshops, parental contact, and job and educational placement activities. This shall be done with approval of the principal.
