SECTION 7.1.9 - WORK SCHEDULES

  1. Operating Hours for School Division Facilities
  • School Board Office - This facility shall be open to the public from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday throughout the fiscal year except for those dates which have been designated as holidays on the School Board approved school year calendar.
  • Schools - School offices will be open to the general public Monday through Friday of the school year as follows: secondary—15 minutes prior to the time classes start until 8 hours and 15 minutes later; elementary schools—8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Offices will be closed on dates which have been designated as holidays on the School Board approved school year calendar.
  • Classrooms and other facilities within the school will be open during those hours designated by the school principal as necessary to carry out the program of instruction and the authorized extra curricula program. In every case a School Board employee must be present when a school building is open for any purpose.
  • Support Operations Offices
  • The School Division Warehouse, Maintenance Office, General Services Office, and School Bus Garage will be open on a schedule, approved by the Division Superintendent, each work day of the fiscal year. The Transportation Office shall operate on a schedule, approved by the Division Superintendent, which ensures the reliability and safety of bus transportation services provided to York County School Division pupils.
  1. Employee Work Hours
  • Non-Licensed Employees
  • Technical, Maintenance and Clerical staff. Full time employees will work a standard 8 hour day, exclusive of a lunch break which will be without pay. Principals and directors will manage the scheduling and length of lunch breaks for their faculties and staffs. In every case each employee shall have a lunch break each day. More than one work shift may be established for any work day. b. Bus Drivers. Bus drivers’ standard work day will be specified in hours in the bus driver’s contract on the bus routes assigned for the school year.
  • Food Service workers, Health Services Paraprofessionals, Teacher Assistants and other non-licensed instructional support staff. Full time employees will work the number of hours specified on their personnel actions for the school year in which they are employed.
  • A regular full time employee who is non-exempt under the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act and who is required to be available immediately by telephone or beeper after regular working hours and to respond within a reasonable period of time when called is eligible to receive on-call standby pay. The rate of pay shall be listed in the Annual Pay Plan.

 

    • Licensed Employees on School Faculties/Assigned to School-based Programs
  • For licensed employees assigned to school faculties/school-based programs, the Board will include in the school calendar each year a number of work days, not to exceed twenty, in addition to the 180 teaching days or 990 hours required by law. Such days will be used for planning, evaluation, in service training, recordkeeping or orientation. Certain employees in this category shall have their contracts extended additional days when necessary to fulfill the duties of their positions.
  • The minimum day schedule will be seven hours and thirty minutes. However, teachers will perform such other duties during the school year as are deemed necessary by the School Board, Superintendent or principal for the efficient and successful operation of the school. The Board reserves the right to extend the minimum daily requirement at any time to meet the expectations of the educational program. c. The principal or other supervisory personnel may require personnel to perform the following services beyond the minimum time requirements:

1) self-study - Southern Association - State Accreditation 2) school or division wide staff development activities 3) chaperone - regular day instructional field trips 4) parent group meetings 5) in-school parent-teacher conference 6) orientation program 7) grade level Chairman work 8) IEP development  9) other services necessary for the efficient and successful operation of the educational program

  • Registered nurses will work the number of hours specified on personnel actions.
  • Directors, Principals, Assistant Principals, Assistants, Managers, Specialists and other employees exempted from the Fair Labor Standards Act
  • The School Board views as inappropriate, a specific work schedule for these employees because they occupy management positions in the School Division. Accordingly, the School Board expects them to work as necessary, under the direction of the Superintendent, to discharge their duties regardless of the office hour schedule set for the School Board office or individual school offices. Consequently, salaries for these positions are predicated on job demands which require time both in excess of a nominal 40 hour work week and outside the limits of the nominal 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. workday.
  • Flex Schedule
  • The Superintendent is authorized to delegate to principals and directors the authority to establish flexible working hour schedules for licensed and non-licensed employees. The Superintendent, if he chooses to exercise this grant of authority, shall establish procedures which ensure compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and which also ensure productive work schedules. In no case, however, shall an individual employee work more than ten paid hours per day.
