Gainful Extramural Activities of Full-Time Teachers Policy

The principle of teachers earning extra money by carrying out work/duties/coaching etc for financial gain is one which is firmly established in most schools. Most schools have contractual or other rules either to limit or to control this activity.

Policy
Should a teacher wish to be gainfully employed over and above his/her employment, he/she must make an application, in writing, to an approved committee at the School where he/she works.

In considering an application, account will be taken, inter alia, of the demands of the activity, whether the activity falls within the professional scope of the teacher’s employment and what impact the activity will have on the teacher’s professional life. It is Board policy that extra lessons for gain may not be given at the teacher’s School to pupils currently taught by the teacher.
