Banking School
(to be used only when the combined work/school schedule is unusually heavy) [Div. Mgt. Memo 87-1, V A-B]
BANKING IS A PRIVILEGE THAT REQUIRES THE PERMISSION OF THE STUDIO TEACHER AND IS NOT A RIGHT TO BE EXERCISED DAILY.
- all time to be under immediate supervision of studio teacher
- “homework” not to be counted as banked time
- may take place on school holidays, during school vacation, or on regular days when scheduled work time is less than permitted for age of child in question
- maximum hours banked on vacation day/holiday is 4 hours for grades 1-6, and 5 hours for grades 7-12
- if child is working, hours banked would be limited to total amount of combined work/school time permitted for age of child in question
- NO BANKED TIME DURING SUMMER VACATION
- when school is in session, maximum banked will be:
- for grades 1-6: 1 hour per day
- for grades 7-12: 2 hours per day
- 1 hour instruction minimum each school day; therefore, not more than 2 hours banked time to be used in one work day in lieu of required 3 school hours
- banked time not to exceed 10 hours per month and must be used within 30 days of time banked
- a record of when the instruction time was banked and when it was used must be kept
- IF A MINOR DOES NOT HAVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF EMPLOYMENT AND IS SENT BACK TO TRADITIONAL SCHOOL, BANK TIME MAY NOT BE CARRIED.
If child is scheduled to work until 10 p.m. on a night preceding a school day, 3 hours of school is to be completed by 4 p.m.; therefore, call time cannot be later than 1 p.m. unless child uses banked hours.
