Mr. Patrick MurfAy, principal of the grade school, was present at the meeting to present and explain requests by grade schoolteachers to theboard. Mr. Murphy stated that grade school teachers are not receiving a 30-mlnute duty-free lunch period which is guaranteed to them by Illinois state law. Mr. Murjrfiy stated the reason the teachers are not receiving this is because they have to supervise the eating of bag lunches in the clasi^ rooms, followed by suiiervising the children in the hall after they have eaten their lunch. Mr. Murphy said that he explained to the tea¬ chers that they have an obligation to supervise students during the period they are in school and the teachers agreed to continue this supervision unil other arrange¬ ments could be made.
The teachers requested the board to hire four supervisory per¬ sonnel to be in charge of the stu¬ dents during the lunch period. It was suggested, as an altemative to hiring supervisory personel, that the school day be shortened for grades 1-5 to 2:15. The Illinois state law requires that element¬ ary school students must be in school for 5 clock hours. At the present time they are in school over 7 hours, Murphy said. Mr. Murphy told the board that the lunch period for 1st and 2nd grades is 85 minutes and that two 30 minute recess periods are held in the day. a day. If the day wer« shortened, these periods would be reduced. Mr. Murphy said that the teachers had complained that after lunch the children were physically spent and the rest of the day was almost a loss. It was brought out by the board that a double bus run in the afternoon would be neces¬ sary if the day were shortened for grades 1 through 5, probably cart¬ ing the taxpayers an extra $10,000. per year.
A motion was presented by Lamb, seconded, by Bein to adver¬ tise for four adults to do super¬ visory duty for on© hour from 11:20 until 12:20 for grades 1 through 5, at the sum of $3.00 per hour.
