Memorandum on Time

Date: Feb 12, 2006
To: All Guidance Counselors, All Principals
From: Angela Reformato, Chapter Leader – Guidance Counselors
Re: Guidance counselor hours

According to the 2005 Memorandum of Agreement, Guidance Counselors will work an additional 10 minutes per day.

Article 6 now says:

Counselors work hours are six hours 30 minutes exclusive of lunch.

To clarify:

If the lunch period in a school is:

  • 50 minutes - Counselors work seven hours 20 minutes
  • 45 minutes - Counselors work seven hours 15 minutes
  • 40 minutes - Counselors work seven hours 10 minutes

Also:

Counselors are still governed by Article 7B.  They do NOT cover classes, lunch duty, dismissal duty, etc.  They are NOT involved in Circular 6 issues.
