Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require schools to pay teachers extra when their designated planning time during the school day is taken away and replaced with student supervision or instruction duties. Currently, teachers may be assigned to oversee or teach students during time that is supposed to be set aside for lesson preparation and other non-teaching tasks without additional pay. The bill aims to ensure teachers are compensated when that planning time is used for direct student-related work. Who it may affect: K-12 public school teachers and school districts across Kentucky.
