Emergency School Closings. 1 When weather conditions constitute a danger sufficient to require the closing of schools, the following procedure shall be followed:
Emergency School Closings. 10.01 All schools and school offices in the school system will be open on all regularly scheduled days unless closed by the Superintendent because of an emergency.
10.02 When an emergency confronts the schools, notification of the closing of schools will be released for broadcast over all local radio and TV stations as soon as possible. In the event schools are closed due to severe inclement weather or other acts of nature, employees assigned to the schools need not report to work.
10.03 When the number of students unable to reach a school is so great that the instructional program is severely impaired, that school may be closed. Employees affected will be personally notified as soon as possible prior to the beginning of the school day as to whether they are to report to duty and, if so, where and when to report. The Board shall designate radio stations that will be utilized in the employee notification process. If employees are notified that they should not report, said employees’ annual compensation will remain the same if the affected workdays can be rescheduled. All scheduled employees’ workdays so affected shall be rescheduled by the Superintendent as soon as possible.
Emergency School Closings. 8-11-1 When weather conditions constitute a danger sufficient to require the closing of schools, the following procedure shall be followed:
a. If the conditions exist prior to the normal school opening time, teachers shall be notified, as early as possible, by public media or direct contact and shall not be required to report to work.
b. If the conditions require closing during the school day, teachers shall be dismissed as soon as possible after students are dismissed.
8-11-2 When weather conditions are such that schools will be open, but some professional staff or students are not able to attend because of the severity of conditions in their locale, the following procedure shall be followed:
a. As soon as possible, teachers affected shall notify the principal of their inability to attend school that day.
b. Professional staff who cannot attend school because of weather conditions or other emergencies will have deducted from their personal leave, if available, or sick leave if personal leave is not available, the day or days they were unable to attend their assignment. All teacher absences under this Article are subject to review by the school building level administrator.
Emergency School Closings. Whenever scheduled school is canceled due to acts of God, employees shall not be required to report for work or to remain at work after school premises have been cleared of students. Affected employees shall experience no loss of pay under such circumstances if they would have otherwise worked. However, paraprofessionals may be required to make up days missed (without additional pay) equal to the number of lost instructional days this district is required to make up under state law.
Emergency School Closings. (1) If schools are closed for reasons beyond the control of the BOARD and unless otherwise notified, food service, transportation and custodial employees shall not report to work but will be compensated at their daily rate of pay. If otherwise notified to report for work they will be given compensatory time off with pay at the discretion of the appropriate supervisor. However, if the BOARD is required by state law to make up any of the lost days, payment for days lost will be considered pay in advance for less than 52 week personnel who shall report for work on the make up days with no additional compensation paid.
(2) However, if schools are closed due to conditions beyond the control of the BOARD, the warehouseman, head custodians and maintenance employees shall report to work and will be compensated at their daily rate of pay. They will also be given compensatory time off with pay at the discretion of the appropriate supervisor. If they are unable to report to work, they shall be paid at their daily rate of pay.
(3) In the event that the Superintendent determines that all District Staff (except LSFSS) are to report to work, it is agreed that (1) and (2) as stated above will not apply. On such days there will be no additional direct or indirect compensation.
Emergency School Closings. On days which weather or mechanical conditions force the closing of schools:
A. Notification of such closing will be a “fan-out” procedure which would include the Transportation Supervisor notifying three (3) designated members of the bargaining unit fifteen (15) minutes after decision has been made on emergency closings.
B. On emergency closing days when school is not held, bus drivers are not required to work and bus drivers will not be paid.
Emergency School Closings. 1. In the event that the district shall be closed in an emergency snow day, Monday through Friday, the supervisor shall notify the employees of the appropriate hour of reporting for work so as to have the district in operation for pupils and staff. To maximize time, all employees will report to their respective schools under the direction of the supervisor and be dismissed at the completion of their work.
2. Secretaries shall be notified by their appropriate principal/supervisor whether to report to work.
Emergency School Closings. In the event the district shall be closed early, as in an emergency snow day, the supervisor shall notify the drivers of the appropriate hour for reporting for early dismissal.
