Emergency Days. A. Secretaries called into work or those who choose to work with authorization from their immediate supervisor on snow/emergency days will be paid their regular hourly wage for the hours they work. Secretaries choosing to work on snow/emergency days must notify their immediate supervisor of their intent to work and get authorization to work from their immediate supervisor. Secretaries may use vacation, personal or comp time on snow/emergency days with authorization from their immediate supervisor.
B. The determination to cancel, delay, and/or reschedule any day of work or partial day shall be the prerogative of the Employer and shall not be grievable by the employee. Such employee will be required to work on any make-up days and will be paid for those days. After an employee reports for work, if the rest of the employee’s scheduled work day is canceled due to inclement weather or other conditions beyond the Employer’s control, the employee (except for those employees required to remain) may leave when released by the building principal. In the event an employee receives unemployment compensation benefits (including underemployment benefits) due to days of work not being held when scheduled which are later made up, the employee's pay will be adjusted by an amount equal to unemployment compensation received. If it is determined that school should be dismissed after an employee’s work day has started, employees covered in this Agreement will be allowed to leave their designated building a maximum of one and one-half (1.5) hour or at the administrator’s discretion, whichever is sooner, after the last bus has left.
C. Should the law be changed to allow for emergency closing days to be counted for State Aid, this part of the contract shall be subject to negotiations.
Emergency Days. When schools are closed for emergencies which are not inclement weather/snow days (e.g., spread of disease/illness, water pipes frozen, no heat, etc.) and are days which will not be made-up in the calendar, staff will not suffer a loss of pay. This pay guarantee shall not apply in any single event beyond an initial five (5) working days period. Personal leave days may be used for emergency days if the employee chooses in the event such days are otherwise not paid.
Emergency Days. During times of emergencies, Volusia County School District employees are expected to maintain public services and to meet new service needs brought about by the emergency conditions. Service demands may go beyond the scope of regularly assigned duties, calling on staff to assume new responsibilities and remain on duty for extended periods of time. The Volusia County School District and the Volusia Educational Support Association, in the interests of maintaining a safe environment for the students during times involving critical incidents such as severe weather, hazardous material spills, fire, or other emergency situations, agree to the following:
1. Should an event such as is stated above occur during the time when the District is responsible for the school children, members of the bargaining unit will cooperate with the administration in taking the steps necessary to reasonably provide for the students’ safety. If such actions require service beyond the regular work day, the administration shall work with bargaining unit personnel to see that while first providing for the security of the students, reasonable requests by personnel to insure the safety of their own families will be accommodated. The District will make reasonable efforts, when possible, to provide time off prior to the onset of a potential disaster for employees designated as essential to secure their homes and see to the safety of their families. Since it may not always be possible, it is imperative that employees have an emergency plan in place to address their family’s safety in their absence. Scheduled or approved leave is subject to cancellation.
2. Any position may be designated by the administration as an Essential Position (EP). Essential Position: EP personnel must be available to report to duty for emergency preparations and may be required to remain on duty throughout an emergency event. Such employees will support the maintenance of critical services and/or recovery efforts. EP personnel are required to advise their supervisor of their location and contact information throughout the emergency. If an employee has unique personal circumstance that would prevent him/her from serving in an emergency, the employee shall discuss these circumstances with the supervisor as soon as possible in order to allow the supervisor to make other arrangements where the circumstances allow. All other personnel must remain available during an emergency. Employees will report to their supervisor or ...

If the emergency is so urgent as to make twenty-four (24) hours notice impossible, the request shall be made orally as soon as practicable either in person or by telephone, to the Superintendent and must later be confirmed in writing. Necessity will be decided by the Superintendent in response to each individual request for permission to use an emergency day or days.
Emergency Days. A teacher is eligible for emergency days at the discretion of the District. Emergency days are reserved for unanticipated, unforeseeable situations that require the teacher's personal attention which cannot be attended to when school is not in session and which are not covered under other short term leave days.

Employees previously approved for a sick day, personal business day, vacation day, or PTO day will be re-credited for such day.

Emergency Days. If a teacher requests a personal or sick leave day on a day which subsequently is declared an emergency day, the teacher who wanted to use sick or personal leave on that day shall suffer no sick or personal leave deduction, loss of pay or benefit.
Emergency Days. In the event of a school emergency day when school is forced to close, twelve month staff will have the option to attend work, take a personal or vacation day, or take an unpaid day if all personal and vacation days have been used.
