Calamity Days are defined as any days schools are closed by the Administration due to snow, or other inclement weather, calamity, or energy reasons.
Calamity Days. Defined When students are dismissed as necessitated due to severe weather, lack of heat, or other unanticipated reason(s), all employees, except employees notified to the contrary, shall be dismissed from work as soon as possible after student dismissal without loss of regular earnings. When a school(s) or part of a school is closed for any reason other than a closing of the entire school district for a calamity, this will be known as a “partial closing.” Examples of a “partial closing” may be when a single building is closed for maintenance problems (heat, water, etc.); a specific unit as pre-school or kindergarten is closed for an inservice; a single kitchen may be closed for various reasons; etc. Employees who, due to a “partial closing”, are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations regarding hours worked at their regular job assignment location, can be given alternate duties to complete the hours needed to fulfill their contract. These duties to be performed will be within their classification, but could possibly be at another location. Another option for such employees would be time spent in training related to their classification. Employees must perform these alternate duties if so instructed, but will not lose pay if no other work or training is available in their classification.
