Normal business hours shall be officially designated as 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for central office staff.
Principals and/or the principals' designees shall be in their buildings ahead of pupils or teachers, and shall remain in their buildings until pupils and teachers have gone from school. Principals who leave their buildings for any purpose, other than attendance at civic clubs, principals' meetings, going to the administrative offices of the School Board, or other routine business affairs connected with the schools shall secure prior approval of the Superintendent for such absence. No administrator shall leave campus without notifying the central office.
Teachers are expected to be at school at least 10 minutes before school starts and 10 minutes after the school day ends.
Summer Work Schedule
Principals shall observe an 8:00 - 3:30 daily schedule on days they work during the summer. Principals who are not required to work summer school will be off Fridays in the summer according to the central office work schedule. The principal will be responsible for the operation of the school during the summer months. This includes summer maintenance, financial statements, requisitions, request for services, reports, mail and correspondence, school records and transcripts, and the coordination of the school operation with the School Board.
In order to achieve the most efficient use of personnel at each school, the assistant principals, school secretaries and all other ten and eleven month employees will work their required number of days at the discretion of the principal.
The principal shall give the Superintendent a telephone number(s), where he/she may be contacted at any time. The assistant principal shall be contacted in the absence of the principal as needed.
CLERICAL AND SUPPORT STAFF BREAK TIME
The St. Martin Parish School Board District Office clerical and custodial staff shall be entitled to two (2) fifteen minute breaks, one to be taken in the morning and one to be taken in the afternoon. Break times shall be at the discretion of the immediate supervisor. Employees shall also be entitled to a thirty (30) minutes lunch break, the time of which shall also be determined by the immediate supervisor.
MODIFIED WORK SCHEDULE (LIGHT DUTY)
It shall be the preference of the St. Martin Parish School Board that when employees return to work in a modified and/or restricted duty capacity following an injury or illness, administration should avoid placing that employee in a position that results in an increased burden for fellow employees. The administration will make every effort to accommodate the restrictions of its returning employees following injury or illness, but it will make all reasonable attempts to avoid those restrictions from becoming a burden upon fellow employees of the system.
