Common use of Early Dismissal Clause in Contracts

Early Dismissal. When schools are closed early, ten-month paraeducators may leave at the time of the school closing or as soon as all students leave the building. Twelve and ten-month office professionals and twelve- month paraeducators are expected to remain on duty when there is an inclement weather related early dismissal; however, upon notification to the appropriate administrator, they shall be allowed to be absent without loss of pay and their absence shall be charged, as determined by the employee, to their compensatory time, urgent personal business time, or vacation time (12-month employees only) for absences related to the early dismissal. If an employee’s compensatory time, urgent personal business time, or vacation time is not sufficient to cover the inclement weather-related absence(s), then, the employee shall be unpaid for that time.
