Heading: Pre- and post-school Day Hours and pre- and post-school Year Days for Teacher Attendance at School

Text: On the other hand, questions relating to the attendance of teachers at school at times other than when the students will be in attendance are to be regarded as working conditions of teachers lacking significant relationships to non-teacher interests of a quantitive and qualitative magnitude sufficient to negate collective bargaining or binding arbitration. The negotiation or arbitration of questions related to whether and when teachers shall be at school, even though the students are not in attendance, impinge only upon that managerial function concerned with the organization, supervision, direction and distribution of personnel. As above emphasized, this single managerial factor must be regarded as insufficient per se to establish the kind of involvement with educational policies requisite, statutorily, to remove an item substantially related to teacher working conditions from the sphere of mandatory collective bargaining or of determination by binding arbitration. The arbitrators acted properly within their jurisdiction in making binding determinations concerning pre- and post-school day hours and pre- and post-school year days for teacher attendance at school (at times other than when the students would be in attendance).
