Southwest ISD board approves resolution to pay employees for Jan. 21 emergency school closure
Summary
The board passed a resolution instructing pay for employees affected by the Jan. 21, 2025 emergency school closure.
At its Jan. 23 meeting, the Southwest ISD Board of Trustees approved a resolution to address wages for employees affected by the district's emergency school closure on Jan. 21, 2025.
District staff told trustees the closure on Jan. 21 was outside employees’ control. The resolution, read by a board member, asked the board to approve pay per board policy so that affected employees would be paid for the closure date. An unnamed board member moved the resolution and another unnamed board member seconded. Trustees voiced no further questions; the presiding officer called for the vote and said, "Aye." The motion passed.
Why it matters: The vote implements district policy to ensure compensation for staff during a one-day emergency closure. The resolution did not specify dollar totals or limits and did not amend permanent pay scales.
