Do I miss my lunch on a rainy day schedule at elementary?

A duty free lunch may be circumvented by assigning additional duties on rainy days. On rainy days, for sites that are unable to develop a system to free teachers for their full lunch period, principals may assign on a rotating basis to supervise students. In all cases, teachers will receive a full thirty minute lunch [Article IV, K].
