Staff attendance on the job is a vital part of a smooth operating school district. The periods of work required of the professional staff shall be clearly specified to ensure the smooth and regular operation of the School District.

The Board of Education reserves the right to specify the working hours for professional staff members with the terms of the negotiated agreement.

All employees are obligated to report regularly for the performance of their duties except as authorized by these policies and approved by the Superintendent. During a period of authorized absence, partial or full compensation may be paid within the limitations of these policies and the laws governing such absences.

Absences not approved by the Superintendent, acting under Board policies and State statutes, shall be considered as unauthorized absence from duty and may be considered by the Board of Education as cause for suspension or dismissal of an employee.

All teaching staff members are expected to attend each faculty meeting unless specifically excused by the administration.
