The school day for all schools of the School System shall meet the minimum standards set fort in The Code of Alabama and State Board of Education rules and regulations. The Code states that a school day shall include six (6) hours (360 minutes) of actual teaching time exclusive of all recesses and intermissions.
The Board realizes that on occasions the school day extends beyond the normal school day to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful extracurricular and other special activities. School administrators are encouraged to work with students, faculty, and citizens to develop and maintain extracurricular activities for students and hereby acknowledge that such activities must be adequately supervised, monitored, and operated in a safe and educationally conducive environment.
Members of the professional staff are encouraged to devote the time necessary to attending parent organizations in order to strengthen and maintain them in all schools of the School System.
