MANAGEMENT OF SCHOOLS.

RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF CALIFORNIA.

[Adopted by the State Board of Education, in accordance with subdivision one of section fifteen hundred and twenty-one of the Political Code, and required to be enforced in all public schools, according to subdivision one of section sixteen hundred and ninety-six of the Political Code.}

SECTION 1. Teachers are required to be present at their respective school-rooms, and to open them for the admission of the pupils, at fifteen minutes before the time prescribed for commencing school, and to observe punctually the hours for opening and closing school. SEC. 2. Unless otherwise provided by special action of Trustees or Boards of Education, the daily school session shall commence at nine o'clock A. M., and close at four o'clock P. M., with an intermission at noon of one hour, from twelve м. to one o'clock P. M. There shall be allowed a recess of twenty minutes in the forenoon session-from ten-forty to eleven o'clock-and a recess of twenty minutes in the afternoon session-from two-forty to three o'clock. When boys and girls are allowed separate recesses, fifteen minutes shall be allowed for each recess.

SEC. 3. In graded primary schools in which the average age of the pupils is eight years, the daily session shall not exceed four hours a day, exclusive of the intermission at noon, and inclusive of the recesses. If such schools are opened at nine o'clock A. M., they shall be closed at two o'clock P. M. In ungraded schools, all children under eight years of age shall be either dismissed, after a four hours' session, or allowed recesses for play, of such length that the actual confinement in the school-room shall not exceed three hours and a half.

SEC. 4. No pupil shall be detained in school during the intermission at noon, and a pupil detained at any recess shall be permitted to go out immediately thereafter. All pupils, except those detained for punishment, shall be required to pass out of the school-rooms at recess, unless it would occasion an exposure of health.

SEC. 5. Principals shall be held responsible for the general management and discipline of their schools, and the studies pursued; and the assistant teachers shall follow their directions, and cooperate with them, not only during school hours, but during the time when the pupils are on the school premises, before and after school, and during recesses. Assistants shall be held responsible for the studies, order, and discipline of their own rooms, under the general direction of the Principals.
