The extra 40 minutes a day, multiplied by the mandated 180 school days a year, adds 120 hours of teaching to schools. That equates to about 20 extra school days — or an additional month of class time, officials said. “We know that when our students have more time to learn, they have a better chance of succeeding,” Walsh said in a statement. Under the plan, teachers will be paid an annual stipend of $4,464 for the added time. That number is about 20 percent lower than teachers’ average hourly rate, the city’s press release notes. The city will be on the hook for $12.5 million annually to fund the added hours.
