Teacher Day. The teacher will be at school fifteen minutes before classes start and thirty minutes after classes end. If needed they will stay for forty-five minutes. 1. During such time the teacher is expected to be in the building and available to the students, parents, and administrators. 2. Early dismissal to accommodate transportation schedules from the Island will be allowed on Fridays and the first days of scheduled vacation periods. Early dismissal means that the teacher will be excused at the same time as the students. 3. Exceptions to the contracted teacher's work day may be requested of the superintendent. His decision will be final and will not set any precedents. 4. A teacher who is absent from work because it is not possible to fly or cross to the Island shall be granted 5 days per year in which the sub rate plus 5% of the sub rate for retirement shall be deducted from the teacher's pay to cover the absence. Absences in excess of the 5 provided in this section shall be docked on a basis of 1/180th per absence or any fraction thereof. 5. If commercial transportation facilities are available, and if the teacher fails to make use of said facilities, the time will be deducted on 180th of their salary or pro-rated thereof, subject to the Superintendent's discretion. If the Superintendent decides that the reason for the absence was valid, the teacher will be allowed to use a deduct from their store of personal and/or sick days. 6. The Superintendent's decision will be final and not subject to the grievance procedure.
