Labor Policy Guidance on the 2024 25 school year workday for UFT school based titles

The following Labor Guidance was shared in the Aug. 27 edition of Principal's Digest.

• Tuesday, Sept. 3, and Wednesday, Sept. 4: These are Chancellor's Conference Days and the workday is 6 hours and 50 minutes for teachers, paraprofessionals and lab specialists. On one of the days, the day shall be utilized first and foremost for preparation of the classroom and for the arrival of students.
  If time permits, the remainder of that day may be utilized for professional development. Other school-based
  titles work their normal length of day on both days.
  • Parent Teacher Conferences: Please review the calendar for dates: All evening PTCs (including Meet the Staff Night, Curriculum Night, etc.) shall be conducted remotely unless a school has an SBO for an in-person conference. All afternoon PTCs shall be conducted remotely provided that staff are able to
  commute home/alternative location in time to participate in the conferences.
• For related service providers: Related Service Providers all create their own schedules, based on students' instructional programs and subject to supervisory approval. Staff schedules should reflect the employee's assignments and roles and
  responsibilities and may include up to 55 minutes per week for
  administrative work that may be conducted remotely. The schedule and time allotted for remote work is subject to supervisory review and approval.

For more information, please review the entire item as it was published in Principal's Digest.
