If an accident occurs during the morning or afternoon recess which requires the attention of the principal and/or playground supervisor, a teacher will volunteer to assist in the supervision of students during that recess. G. Act of God Days - Teachers shall not be required to report for work on "Act of God Days." In the event that the number of "Act of God Days" exceeds the state number of "grace days,” and if state law mandates make-up of these excessive days, or if the make-up of these excessive days is necessary in order to receive full state aid, then these days will be added at the end of the school's current calendar year. The number of days added will be sufficient to meet the State's minimum requirements. Teachers shall not be paid one thousand dollars ($1,000) if they are provided a prepfor these "make-up" days.
