Act of God Days. The Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan State Legislature requires the make up of some Act of God days and the parties agree that teachers will receive their regular pay for days which are canceled, but shall work on the required rescheduled days with no additional compensation. Provided, however, the following procedures shall apply:
A. The parties agree to meet in an effort to mutually agree on when any make up days would occur. In the event they are unable to agree, the days will be added on to the end of the calendar set forth in Schedule C.
B. Should an instructional day need to be rescheduled due to a loss of state aid and insufficient students attend to count it as a day of instruction, teachers will be obligated to attend a subsequent rescheduling date.

1. Use his/her personal days;
2. Use his/her sick days; or
3. Apply for unpaid leave time. If, at any time during the life of this Agreement, it becomes lawful to count as days of pupil instruction, days when pupil instruction is not provided due to conditions not within the control of school authorities, such as due to severe storms, fires, epidemics, or health conditions, it is agreed that the following school closing provisions shall become effective immediately: When conditions not within the control of school authorities, such as due to severe storms, fires, epidemics, or health conditions, or an Employer directive, shall result in the closing of a school or other facility of the Employer, bargaining unit members shall be excused from reporting to duty without loss of pay. Days lost due to school closing under the foregoing circumstances shall not be rescheduled. It is hereby understood and agreed between the Xxxxx Professional Education Association and the Xxxxx Public Schools that teachers shall make up "Act of God" days beyond the first two (2) in accordance with the contract without additional compensation. However, if it becomes the case where the District will suffer no loss of state aid from the State of Michigan if the days are not made up, then those additional days will not be required.
Act of God Days. A. Scheduled days of student instruction which are not held because of conditions not within the control of school authorities, such as inclement weather, fires, epidemics, mechanical breakdowns, or health conditions (as defined by city, county, or state health authorities) will be rescheduled to ensure that there are a minimum number of days of student instruction as prescribed by Michigan law.

However, "school year" employees shall work on any rescheduled days beyond the first three (3) days of student instruction and shall be paid only when the days are made up. “School year” employees have the option of utilizing up to three (3) sick/personal days to receive pay for days in excess of the three (3) district-paid days. The request for using sick or personal days must be made within the same pay period as the day. Sick days used to supplant snow days shall not be considered as part of the attendance incentive and shall not preclude the member from receiving the attendance stipend.
C. The parties agree that this contract provision has been negotiated to comply with the provisions of the State Aid Act and to ensure that the District will incur no loss of State Aid. Further, the parties recognize the school district's obligation to comply with any requirement set forth by the State Board of Education respecting the number of "student instruction" days, as defined by that agency. In addition to any requirement of the State Aid Act to receive full State Aid, the parties agree to reschedule lost days of student instruction (attributable to the above conditions) to ensure the minimum number of instructional days mandated by the Michigan Department of Education or otherwise by law.
Act of God Days. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Board to keep schools open in the event of severe weather conditions or when otherwise prevented by an Act of God.
1. When school is officially called off for students due to inclement weather or other Acts of God or when schools are dismissed due to same, schools will be closed and teachers shall not be required to be on duty.
2. When Act of God days are made up, pursuant to the State School Aid Act, bargaining unit employees shall be required to report to work. Neither the closure of schools due to Act of God days, nor the rescheduling of such days, shall act to increase or decrease the amount of compensation due to a bargaining unit member. The make-up of Act of God days shall be only as is required by state law.
3. Should it be necessary to make up days, such days will be added to the end of the negotiated calendar. The first make-up day, of any required, will take place on the last scheduled teacher workday. Teachers will be expected to complete normal year-end work duties. The parties may mutually agree to make up days at times other than the last scheduled teacher workday.
4. A bargaining unit employee who takes a sick or personal business day that falls on an “Act of God” day, will not be charged for that day(s) of leave. Any employee on an extended leave of five (5) or more continuous days will not be eligible for this benefit.
Act of God Days. A. If an emergency and/or act of God necessitates the closing of the Holland Public Schools, teachers will not have to report to their assigned buildings, and will have no loss in pay. Every effort will be made to make such public announcements of school closing by 7:00 a.m.
B. In the event Act of God days prevent the District from holding the minimum number of student attendance days and/or hours, as defined by the Department of Education, teachers may be required by the District to make up enough student attendance days and/or hours so that the minimum number of days/hours of student instruction will be held. Act of God days will only be made up if the District will lose state funding for failure to make them up or otherwise suffer consequences by state or federal authorities.
C. If teachers do not work on the original Act of God day(s) being rescheduled, and they were paid for said days, then they will not be paid additional compensation for these make-up days except as provided below.
1. If a teacher works on an Act of God day at the request of the District and also works on the make-up day for that Act of God day, that teacher will be paid at his or her regular per diem rate for both days.

1. In the event the Michigan Department of Education or the Michigan State Legislature lawfully adopts rules, regulations or laws which require the make-up of some or all Act of God Days, the parties agree that teachers will receive their regular pay for days which are cancelled, but shall work on the required rescheduled days with no additional compensation.

1. Use his or her personal business days or sick leave.
2. Apply for unpaid leave time.
d. Should the provisions of State law or the Department of Education rules and regulations be rescinded or modified, then the above provisions shall be considered null and void, and the provisions and practices in existence prior to this agreement will be reinstated to the extent permitted by the rescission or modification.

They will be paid for a full days pay on each of these days if students are brought in even if school is dismissed early. These employees will be paid for any days they work. If called to work on an Act of God day, the employee will be paid. The district will provide parking areas and clear access to the building for an employee asked to report on an Act of God day. If the district calls an employee in, the employee reports and the district has not provided access, the employee will be paid a full day’s pay, not to exceed four (4) in any one school year. When school term employees are asked to work, the district agrees that there will be heat in the work area.
B. Year Round and More Than School Term Employees Year round and more than school term employees are scheduled to work on Act of God days.

When this occurs, the employee will receive a regular day’s pay, not to exceed four (4) in any one school year. A year round or more than school term employee who feels they cannot make it in to work on an Act of God day may use his/her accumulated sick, vacation or personal day.
