San Antonio CSC Board approves pay and time credit after emergency closure

The San Antonio CSC Board of Trustees on April 7 approved a resolution to give employees time credit for an unexpected closure and to pay custodial and maintenance staff time-and-a-half for weekend cleanup.

Mister Perez, who presented the item, told the board the district allowed employees to leave an hour early on Thursday ahead of heavy rain and flooding, closed on Friday, and had staff report Friday and custodial and maintenance crews work Saturday to inspect and clean campuses. "So we want to pay them time and a half," Perez said, explaining the request to both credit the missed work time and compensate those who worked extra shifts.

The resolution was introduced as action item 3.1 and referenced local Policy DEA. The presiding speaker thanked the finance and administrative teams for preparing the proposal and called for a motion. The transcript records the motion as being made by a member identified as "Mister Coronado"; a second was recorded but not named. The presiding speaker then called for those in favor and declared the motion carried. The board did not provide a roll-call tally in the meeting record.

The approved action instructs payroll to credit employees for the early departure and the full day the district was closed, and to pay overtime to staff who worked cleanup shifts on Friday and Saturday, according to the presentation. The board took no additional actions on related policy language during the meeting.

The special meeting was called to order at 4:30 p.m. and adjourned at 4:32 p.m. A procedural motion to adjourn was recorded as made by a member identified in the transcript as "Mister Frutto" and seconded by Rudy Corona. No further follow-up date was set during the session.
