Aides

Aides, as defined in the appropriate job descriptions, are under the supervision of a principal, and a teacher to whom the principal may have delegated responsibility for close direction. The nature of the work accomplished by aides will encompass a variety of tasks that may be inclusive of “limited instructional duties.”

Aides are employed by the District mainly to assist the teacher. An aide is an extension of the teacher, who legally has the direct control and supervision of the classroom or playground and responsibility for control and the welfare of the students.

It is the responsibility of each principal and teacher to provide adequate training for an aide. This training should take into account the unique situations in which an aide works, and should be designed to cover the general contingencies that might be expected to pertain to that situation.
