Degree Days Sample Clauses

Degree Days. Degree Days are computed for the Standard Degree Day Report (see figure below), Custom Reports, and for the Insect Models. SpecWare calculates the total degree days accumulated and requires temperature data measured by the thermistor inside the WatchDog. External temperature sensors cannot be used to generate these re- ports. (See Soil Temperature, p. 42). Three methods are used to calculate degree days; Growing Degree Day, Single Sine, and Actual Degree Day. The Growing Degree Day Method (GDD) considers only the high and low temperatures (Thigh and Tlow) for the day along with user-selected values for the base and upper limit temperatures to compute the total number of degree days acquired. The formula is: If Thigh is above the upper limit, the upper limit is used for Thigh. If Tlow is below the base temperature, the base temperature is used for Tlow. In addition to the GDD, both the Single Sine and Actual (Integral) Degree Days are also displayed in the GDD report. The Single Sine method uses the day's maximum and minimum temperatures to gen- erate a sine curve. The area between this curve and the lower threshold temperature is the GDD. The Actual Degree Days (ADD) method employs a calculation similar to the GDD but is done on the hourly values rather than on daily values. The ADD method is the most accurate.

  • Leave Days 1. Each full-time teacher employed under regular contract shall be entitled to an annual allotment of thirteen (13) leave days. Such allotment shall be credited the first day of each school year and unused days shall be accumulated as sick leave to a total of one hundred eighty-two and one half (182.5) days. The teacher’s accumulated sick days may be used following use of 13 days and a doctor’s note with approval by Superintendent. Certificated staff with an accumulation of 182.5 days of accumulated sick leave shall be compensated at the end of each school year at the rate of the current daily certified substitute pay per each unused day above the 182.5 day accumulation. Such payments shall be made in July of each year. This money shall be placed in the teacher’s 403(b). If school corporation revenue in the Education Fund exceeds expenditures in the calendar year by an amount between $6,000 and $24,000, then the amount of that excess (minus compensation pay), not to exceed $18,000, shall be made available to fund a buyback of unused accumulated sick leave days on the following terms: Teachers shall have the option of selling up to ten (10) days, per round, of unused accumulated sick leave back to the school corporation at the daily rate of pay for a certified substitute teacher. This option will be offered to teachers in accordance with their seniority (total years of continuous service at Western Xxxxx) in the school corporation, with the teacher with the most seniority having priority to exercise the option, and it shall be available only to the extent of the total amount of money available as set forth above. Payment for these days shall be deposited in the individual teacher’s 403(b) plan, and upon payment those sick leave days shall no longer be available to the selling teacher. Said days must have been earned while the teacher has been employed in the school corporation. To participate in the program a teacher must maintain at all times a minimum balance of one hundred (100) days of accumulated sick leave. This method shall continue in successive rounds until the available money remaining less than daily rate of pay for a certified substitute teacher. If more money is available to the school corporation than is needed to fund the buy-backs exercised under this program, the school corporation may retain such money in its Education Fund. After selling a cumulative amount of eighty (80) days, teachers will receive a guaranteed buyback of any leave days over one hundred (100) remaining at the end of each school year. 2. A teacher employed under regular contract for only a portion of the school year shall be entitled to a proportional number of days (beginning the day they return to full-time status), and unused days shall be accumulative as specified herein. 3. Teachers shall be permitted to take one-half (1/2) day of paid leave which shall be recorded as one-half (1/2) day of paid leave. 4.
