Who requires that she works 50 hours during the summer and grade papers on her personal time?

Umm... that's what is required if you wan to do a good job.

They are on a block schedule... 4 classes a day. Teach 3... 1 of period.

"Off period" -

Monday - 504 meetings
Tuesday - Teacher Team meetings
Wednesday - No meetings
Thursday - Faculty or department meetings (rotates)
Friday - No Meetings

She has one duty assignment per day.

M/W/F - Lunch duty (1/2 lunch period)
T/Th - After school bus area duty

So her non-teaching clock time each weeek consists of"

30 min before first bell (kids are arriving into classrooms at this time)
20 min lunch 3 days a week
40 min lunch 2 days a week (one day is a meeting for a club she sponsors)
90 min off period 2x a week
30 min after school 3x a week (which is when she offers tutoring)

Add that up and that's not enough time to do what needs to be done to be prepared for class and to return papers.
