If the regular assignment is not to be used, a special lesson must be provided. Teachers will be assigned special duties by the respective principals. Special duty assignments may be: bus duty, assembly duty, club sponsor, grounds, gymnasium, etc. Recognizing the fact that, at times, conditions necessitate teachers leaving the campus at various times during the school day, we wish to state the following policy: In order to maintain a controlled and balanced program it is necessary that all students must be supervised at all times while at school. It is with this thought in mind that teachers are not to leave the campus during the school day without authorization from the administrative unit concerned. Teachers are required to log in and out in their campus office when leaving and returning to their school campus. General Practices, Procedures, and Policies WHEN A TEACHER LEAVES A CLASSROOM Leaving Classroom Unattended: UNATTENDED, HE IMMEDIATELY SUBJECTS HIMSELF TO A CHARGE OF NEGLIGENCE IN THE EVENT A CHILD IS INJURED. Too often when a teacher leaves the room, children (at times) will be prone to sword fight with rulers or poke at one another with pencils, scissors or engage in some other enjoyable activity only to injure someone. Should a suit arise over the injury of the child under this set of circumstances the teacher simply has no defensible grounds. If a teacher must leave the room for any reason, then, the teacher should somehow contact the school principal and either get their expressed permission to leave the room, or have them provide a substitute in the room for those minutes the teacher is gone.
