School Closures The District may close schools for academic purposes or reduce programming due to public health, safety, severe weather or any other purpose as determined by the District. The District shall not owe Provider any compensation for times when services of Therapists are canceled, declined, or not required due to closure, reduction in programming, or exclusion of Therapists due to health risk assessment screenings or any other reason, and Provider agrees to indemnify District for Therapist claims arising from all such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required by Section 10-20.56(d-15) of the School Code (105 ILCS 5/10-20.56(d-15)), when enforceable under law, the Parties understand that the District may determine it is required to pay Provider the daily, regular rate of pay and benefits for Therapists for any day of school closure or e-learning day if such closure precludes the Provider’s employees from performing its regularly scheduled duties and employees would have reported for work but for the closure, unless the day is rescheduled and the employees will be paid their daily, regular rate of pay and benefits for the rescheduled day when services are rendered. The Parties agree such payment constitute full satisfaction of Section 10-20.56(d-15). As a precondition to these payments being made, Provider shall provide an invoice for the foregoing pay and benefits costs; however, Provider will not include such pay and benefits costs for any school closure or e-learning day on any invoices until the last invoice of the school year in order to allow the District the opportunity to determine if the day will be rescheduled. When a payment is to be made by the District under this provision, Provider represents and warrants that it shall pay its employees their daily, regular rate of pay and benefits for any such school closure or e-learning day. Upon request, Provider shall provide the District with certified payrolls as evidence of compliance with this section. The District retains sole discretion to determine whether Section 10-20.56(d-15) applies to this Agreement or any day of school closure and, if the District determines such law is applicable, the District retains the discretion to determine if and when a school closure day is rescheduled. For purposes of this section, “school closures” shall not include holidays or other days of closure reflected on the District’s school calendar for which Provider is not scheduled to provide services under the Agreement.

However, a Bargaining Unit Member shall have the right to use not more than two (2) personal business days or sick days during a single school year in order to receive pay for a cancelled day of pupil instruction on which that Bargaining Unit Member was not required to work and which will not be rescheduled. (This time may be used in hours equivalent to the Employee’s normal work day. Example: A xxxx’x full day is seven (7) hours. Therefore, the Employee would have fourteen (14) hours available to use during a school closing). In order to exercise this option, the Bargaining Unit Member must give written notice to the Superintendent’s office not later than two (2) work days after the cancelled day for which personal business leave is to be substituted. Pay for this day will be remitted to the Bargaining Unit Member(s) so electing on the next regular payroll. Such Employees shall work on any rescheduled days of student instruction which are established by the Employer and will be paid at their regular daily rate of pay. Twelve (12) month Employees will be required to work on days when school is not in session and shall be paid their regular rates of pay for such days, except that if said Employees cannot make it to work, they are entitled to use sick leave. Any Employee who begins his/her duties at the regularly scheduled time shall be paid a minimum of two (2) hours at their regular hourly rate if the Employer fails to cancel school prior to the Employee's regularly scheduled starting time. If notification of a school closing is made after 6:10 a.m., any bus driver who has not been notified and who has left home for their regularly scheduled route will be compensated two (2) hours pay. Severe inclement weather may cause it to be necessary for custodial Employees to leave prior to the completion of their regular work shift. The Employee will have the option of using sick leave.
