In accordance with the DOE’s collective bargaining agreements, employees on sabbatical leave beginning August 1st must complete per session in July, and will not be permitted to commence any new per session assignments until the September following the completion of sabbatical. Employees may apply for per session activities that are done either before school, after school, on the weekend or holidays, or during the summer. This regulation governs the provision of per session services by pedagogic employees.

Understanding the Context

It explains when per session may be served and sets forth the process to be followed for approval of per session hours. I hereby certify that I am familiar with Chancellor’s Regulation C-175 regarding Per Session Employment. Additionally, the employee for whom this timesheet is being submitted has indicated his/her familiarity with the same regulation. During the summer and school year, employees may apply for per session activities scheduled before or after school, on weekends or certain holidays (if approved), or during summer break.

Key Insights

Yes, substitutes can work per session. However, qualified, full-time pedagogic employees are given priority and must be offered positions in per session activities before per diem employees. Throughout the school year, teachers may apply for per session activities that are done either before school, after school, on the weekend or holidays (based on approval), or during the summer. These opportunities are for current employees and nominated eligible retirees. Such central-based per session jobs will no longer be posted on this website and will only be published on an internal portal.

Final Thoughts

The processes for school and district per session remain in place.
