Winter Recess/Spring Recess Sample Clauses

Winter Recess/Spring Recess. All unit members at those schools, District offices and/or sites that are closed – whether fully or partially – during the Winter and Spring Recesses and who are not otherwise notified they will be required to work during the applicable recess as set forth in Article 9.8, will be required to use earned vacation, if available, during the applicable recess unless the unit member requests an exception due to extenuating circumstances. The District has the sole discretion to approve or deny such a request. An employee whose vacation bank does not contain sufficient earned vacation days to cover the days the schools, District offices, and/or sites will be closed during Winter Recess or Spring Recess may be advanced vacation days which the employee had not yet earned but would be entitled to earn during the remainder of the school year, if available, to use during the Winter Recess or Spring Recess.

Winter Recess/Spring Recess. All schools and all District offices and sites shall be closed during every Winter Recess and Spring Recess, except that the District in its sole discretion may designate that certain schools, offices, and/or sites remain open with a limited staff only during the Winter Recess and/or Spring Recess. The District's decision as to which schools, offices, and/or sites are to remain open and the number and kind of staff required shall be final and not subject to grievance/arbitration, court or administrative challenge, or any other challenge whatsoever. Unless otherwise expressly authorized by the District in writing, all unit members will be required to use earned vacation, if available, during every Winter Recess and Spring Recess on the days the schools, sites, and District offices are closed. Any employee whose vacation bank does not contain sufficient earned vacation days to cover the days the schools and District offices and sites will be closed during any Winter Recess or Spring Recess may be advanced vacation days which the employee has not yet earned, but would be entitled to earn during the remainder of the school year, if available, to use during the Winter Recess or Spring Recess. If the unit member is unable to use vacation on the days the schools, sites, or District offices are closed because he/she has no vacation days available and has not been advanced any, he/she shall be in unpaid status during the period of closure. This provision shall only apply to a supervisor if there is a closure which affects employees being supervised by a Union unit member supervisor. For purposes of seniority, whether or not a supervisor is in paid or unpaid status during the period of a closure, such time off work shall not be treated as a break in service.
