North Sanpete Policy Changes

(Mount Pleasant) The North Sanpete School District is making some policy changes to comply with Federal regulations under employment law. The law requires that classified employees work no mare than forty hours per week. Restricting the number of hours will eliminate overtime pay which could further strain budgets. Many classified employees also spend time coaching school sports after regular hours and are paid to do so. That will also have to change under the new policy. Classified employees that want to coach will have to do so on a voluntary basis to avoid working too many hours. They can still receive a small reimbursement, but it cannot exceed twenty percent of what they have previously received for coaching. The new policies will take effect next school year and will not affect licensed and certified employees.
