Bill Summary
This bill prohibits a school board from requiring its teachers to perform any services outside of regular classroom instruction unless the school board compensates the teacher for his or her time. Under current law, a school must provide each teacher a daily duty-free 30-minute lunch period, or the school board may enter into a contract with a teacher for services during the teacher’s lunch period. For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill requires school boards to compensate teachers for any services they are asked to perform outside of their regular classroom instruction, meaning teachers must be paid for extra duties beyond teaching. This change is being made to existing law, which currently mandates a 30-minute duty-free lunch period for teachers, but allows school boards to contract with teachers for services during that lunch break. The bill also clarifies that this new compensation requirement applies to teachers affected by collective bargaining agreements or other contracts on the day such agreements expire or are renewed.
