STAFF MEETINGS

The Orleans Parish School Board shall require all employees to attend staff meetings and in-service training sessions that may be required by the principals and/or supervisors.  General faculty meetings and in-service activities shall be considered part of the instructional personnel’s regular assignment and on certain occasions support staff may also be required to attend.  Teachers and other personnel shall be required to attend faculty meetings and in-service activities unless they are excused for valid reasons by the principal.  Advance notice (at least twenty-four (24) hours, whenever possible) shall be given to employees informing them of any scheduled faculty meetings.  Nothing in this policy shall be intended to prohibit the school site administrator from disseminating significant information when time is of the essence.

Members of the administrative staff shall be expected to attend all administrative staff meetings as called by the Superintendent or his/her designees and participate in regular staff development and/or in-service opportunities.

SCHOOL STAFF MEETINGS

The principal shall prepare and disseminate a formal agenda for each staff meeting held.  A copy of the agenda shall be sent to the Superintendent.
