CALAMITY DAYS Section 42.1 Calamity days are those days of scheduled operation when unanticipated events or conditions require closing of a Board facility or facilities by the Superintendent. Employees will be paid for up to three (3) calamity days per year. However, employees will not be paid for school days or hours added to the school year in order to meet the state-mandated school year requirement. Section 42.2 For the first three (3) calamity days in a school year, employees will not be required to work when the facility in which they work is closed. For all remaining calamity days in a school year, employees will be required to report to work during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Employees may use personal or sick leave on a calamity day in which they are required to work. Requests to use personal leave on calamity days do not need to be submitted three (3) days in advance in accordance with Article 28 of this Agreement, but employees shall notify a Building Administrator or other system as designated by the administration no later than one (1) hour prior to the time he is scheduled to report to work. Section 42.3 Employees who are on vacation or a leave of absence when a calamity day is declared will not receive calamity day pay. If on vacation, they will receive vacation pay for which they are entitled. Employees who are scheduled for a personal, sick, or compensatory day on the day of a declared calamity will have that personal, sick, or compensatory day reinstated. These reinstatements will not be made when only a portion of a day is declared a calamity (such as early dismissal). Section 42.4 When a calamity forces the closing of the facility prior to regular closing time, employees will remain on the job until dismissed by the Building Principal. Such dismissal time will not exceed more than one-half (1/2) hour beyond the Program Enrollee dismissal time. Section 42.5 The rest of this Article does not apply to Early Intervention Specialists. Early Intervention Specialists who are scheduled to work on calamity days shall work their regularly scheduled hours, or earlier as released by the Superintendent, at their regular rate of pay unless the building where the employees work is closed due to no water, no heat, etc. or the sheriff closes the roads.
