The teacher retains the responsibility for supervision and discipline of the classroom. Generally, all paraprofessionals have specific morning and afternoon supervision responsibilities. Additionally, they are assigned supervision duties during lunch in the cafeteria. While supervising student safety during these times, they should not be asked to leave their assigned areas.
