Board approves up to five days for classified employees to make up snow-related time
Summary
The board authorized classified staff to make up up to five days missed for snow closures, a recurring local practice the board reaffirmed at the Feb. 13 meeting.
The White County Board of Education voted Feb. 13 to allow classified employees up to five days to make up time missed because of snow closures.
The lede: Board members debated the number briefly and confirmed the practice is a recurring local policy; a motion to approve the five-day make-up period was made by Mister McDonald and seconded by Miss Fowler, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Nut graf: The policy provides a standardized local approach for classified staff to recoup lost workdays during inclement-weather closures; board members noted the five-day figure reflects historical practice, though prior years have seen larger make-up totals when conditions required.
District staff explained that the five-day cap is a maximum and that the board has adjusted the policy in past years when snow totals were higher. Board members asked why five days was chosen and were told it is tradition rather than a state requirement.
Ending: The motion allows supervisors and payroll staff to plan make-up schedules for affected classified employees in the current school year.
