We will get you a 1⁄2 day sub with the possibility of being a whole day. When they select the jury, if you are not selected, you will return to work and the sub will stay working somewhere until noon. If you find that you are selected, call the sub line so we know and tell us approximately how long they predict the trial will last. We will get you a sub for that time.
We pay you at your regular pay. You will need to sign the check that is presented to you for jury duty and give it to the BOE office.
KEY POLICY
All keys will be issued by the principal yearly and must be turned in at the end of the regular school year. Keys will be reissued for summer school or summer activities.

Any person issued keys accepts all responsibility for damages or expenses incurred due to loss or misuse of key and does so by accepting keys.
