402.08 - Employee Telephone Calls

 

The board recognizes the need of employees to receive and make telephone calls during working hours.

Employees may receive and make personal telephone calls during lunches, breaks, or preparation periods.  Employees may receive and make emergency telephone calls at any time.

The district telephones may only be used for local personal telephone calls; all other calls must be paid for by the employee.  It will be the responsibility of the employee to exercise discretion in making and receiving telephone calls during working hours.
