Your safety is a primary concern. Please use your best judgment in applying the following procedures. Always err on the side of safety. Remember, you must notify your supervisor if you cannot come to work.

Concerning Weather Closings)
----------------------------
IF SCHOOL IS CLOSED, it is closed to students and all 10- or 11-month staff and an annual leave day will be charged. Central Office and 12-month employees are expected to report to work as usual if they feel it is safe to do so. Those who do not report to work will be charged with a vacation day.
----------------------------
IF SCHOOL IS CLOSED WITH AN OPTIONAL TEACHER WORKDAY, 10- and 11-month staff have the choice of coming to school or staying home. If you feel it is unsafe to come to school, you will be charged with taking a vacation day. Central Office and 12-month employees are expected to report to work as usual if they feel it is safe to do so. Those who do not report to work will be charged with a vacation day.
ALL EMPLOYEES who feel it is not safe to report to work have the option to make up the absence at a mutually agreed upon time with their principal or supervisor. This time cannot be made up during the professional school or work day.
TEACHERS may make up time on Saturdays, holidays or built-in annual leave days.
TEACHING ASSISTANTS AND ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES EXCEPT TEACHERS may use Saturdays, holidays or extended time at least two hours after school or regular work hours to make up the absence. Remember, classified staff cannot work over 40 hours in any week.
----------------------------
IF SCHOOL OPENING IS DELAYED by 1, 2 or 3 hours, all staff are expected to report to work at their regularly scheduled time or as close to it as possible if the employee feels safe to do so.
Employees who do report to work do not have permission to leave early. They are expected to work the regular shift.
If a part-time employee's shift begins after the 2-hour delay, that employee is expected to work his/her regular shift.
Time sheets are to reflect the exact hours worked. In the comment section, indicate that school was on a 2-hour delay. The delay time will be "forgiven." Employees will be paid for their regular hours.
----------------------------
IF SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED DURING THE DAY, the first duty of all staff is to ensure the safety of all students.
Once all buses are back and students are safe, the principal may determine when or if staff may leave school.
After School Day Care will not be open if school closes early. School staff may not leave any students unattended.
Central Office employees in any location are not dismissed until their supervisor determines they may leave.
If schools/offices are closed and first shift employees are allowed to go home early, that time will be forgiven.
Second shift employees should not report in if schools and offices are closed by noon. They will be expected to make up that time or take annual leave.
