(c) The county board shall provide a school term for its
schools that contains the following:
(1) An employment term for teachers other than principals of
no less than two hundred days, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays
and an employment term for principals of no less than two hundred
twenty days, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays: Provided, That
unless specifically provided otherwise, any reference in this code
to "employment term" or "employment term for teachers" means the
employment term for teachers other than principals; and
(2) Within the employment term, an instructional term for
students of no less than one hundred eighty separate instructional days.
(d) The instructional term for students shall include one
instructional day in each of the months of October, December,

including the duty-free lunch period, shall be used for other
professional activities for teachers to improve student instruction
which may include, but are not limited to, professional staff
development, curriculum team meetings, individualized education
plan meetings and other meetings between teachers, principals,
aides and paraprofessionals to improve student instruction as

The salary increment in this section for each assistant principal shall be determined in the same manner as that for
principals, utilizing using the number of teachers supervised by
the principal under whose direction the assistant principal works,
except that the percentage rate shall be fifty percent of the rate
prescribed for the principal.
Salaries for employment beyond the minimum employment term
shall be at the same daily rate as the salaries for the minimum
employment terms.
For the purpose of determining the number of teachers
supervised by a principal, the county board shall use data for the
second school month of the prior school term and the number of
teachers shall be interpreted to mean the total number of
professional educators assigned to each school on a full-time
equivalency basis: Provided, That if there is a change in
circumstances because of consolidation or catastrophe, the county
board shall determine what is a reasonable number of supervised
teachers in order to establish the appropriate increment percentage
rate.
No county may reduce local funds allocated for salary
increments for principals and assistant principals in effect on the
first day of January, two thousand two six, and used in
supplementing the state minimum salaries as provided for in this
article, unless forced to do so by defeat of a special levy, or a
loss in assessed values or events over which it has no control and
for which the county board has received approval from the State
Board prior to making the reduction.
Nothing in this section prevents a county board from
providing, in a uniform manner, salary increments greater than
those required by this section.
