Inclement Weather Building Closed
When the district is closed, the secretarial staff should treat this as a non-working day. On such days, no one will be charged with a vacation day nor will they lose pay. Individuals will not be granted comp time if they report when the buildings are closed.

Delayed Starts
In the case of a delayed start, all buildings and offices will open one or two hours later than normal. If there is a delay called, staff members and administrators are to arrive no later than the one or two hours after their normal starting time. Para-Professional employees may make up hours lost, preferably during the pay period of the delayed start.

Early Dismissal
Should weather conditions be such that students are dismissed early, the teaching staff shall be allowed to leave their work site no later than one-half hour after the dismissal of students. As per contract, a proportionate number of teachers chosen on a rotating basis can be requested to stay at school with remaining children. Administrators and secretaries may not leave their work site until they receive specific permission from Central Administration.

Those staff members that are absent on an early dismissal day as a result of vacation (V) sickness (S), emergency (E), excused by Superintendent (X), absent without pay (A) or personal day (P), are to be charged with a full day of absence This is due to the fact that this is considered as a full day of school for state reimbursement purposes.

Special Note: All school activities (Athletics, Musical Programs, PTA, Recreation, etc.,) will be canceled on early dismissal days!

Substitute teachers that are filling in for an employee that is absent for a full day are to be given credit for a full day of service.
Para-Professionals (hourly employees) are to be paid only for the hours actually served. They may make-up hours lost during the same pay period of the early dismissal. They may not, however, make up whole snow days.

PLEASE NOTE:
Custodial/Maintenance staff will follow their regular shift hours. Please be certain to share this information with the person that handles the payroll in your building.
