Overview
This bill aims to limit the non-teaching duties that public school teachers are required to perform. It specifies that teacher compensation should only cover classroom instruction, planning, and related activities like faculty meetings. Extracurricular duties, such as bus or lunch duty, require separate consent, additional compensation, and must be addressed in the teacher’s contract. School districts are required to develop plans to ensure these duties are handled appropriately, potentially through volunteers, additional staff, or compensation for teachers who take on these roles.
Key provisions
- Teachers’ compensation is limited to classroom instruction, planning, and related duties.
- Extracurricular duties (e.g., bus duty, coaching) require separate consent and additional compensation.
