Snow Days-<\/strong><\/span>HR has asked that I communicate the following to schools. Please call HR if you have any questions about this.<\/p>\n

School closure days due to snow:\u00a0 \u00a0February 25, 26, 27, and 28<\/p>\n

Leaves for Certified:\u00a0 Sick days, Personal Day, and FMLA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All leaves that were taken during the snow days will be returned since the days have been rescheduled.\u00a0 Leave sheets that have already been sent to payroll will be modified by the payroll staff.<\/p>\n

FMLA- employees currently on FMLA will have an opportunity to extend the leave up to four days.\u00a0 HR has already contacted all employees that are currently on FMLA.\u00a0 If the employee wants to extend, then a substitute might be needed. \u00a0HR has communicated this with office managers.<\/p>\n

This will hopefully answer questions for certified staff.\u00a0 Certified staff with questions are welcome to contact HR.<\/p>\n

These rules will not necessarily apply to classified.\u00a0 All classified staff with leave questions need to contact HR.<\/p>\n
