What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits a school board from requiring its teachers to perform any services outside of regular classroom instruction unless the school board either compensates the teacher for his or her time or the teacher volunteers to perform the services. Under current law, a school must provide each teacher a daily duty-free 30-minute lunch period, or the school board may enter into a contract with a teacher for services during the teacher's lunch period.
