The Lincoln Board of Education recognizes that certificated employees’ responsibilities to their students and their profession generally involve the performance of duties and the commitment of time beyond the normal working day. The Board also recognizes that teachers and other educational professionals are entitled to regular time and work schedules on which they can rely in the ordinary course of events and which will be fairly and evenly maintained to the extent possible throughout the school system.
All certificated staff are required to be on duty at such times established by their supervisor and in compliance with the negotiated agreement. Professional staff will be available on an as-needed basis to complete their other duties as assigned. Regular, dependable in-person attendance is an essential function of each employee’s position.
In the event of a school or community emergency, employees are expected to remain on duty as assigned, unless notified otherwise by their supervisor.
Employees who miss meetings or in-service sessions are required to develop and carry out a plan to gain the information missed.
