The Spearman ISD Board approved a resolution on July 14 authorizing additional paid leave for regular employees who are instructed not to report to work during an inclement-weather closure and premium pay for nonexempt employees who work during such closures.

Under the adopted resolution (Exhibit D), the paid leave is effective Aug. 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026 and is limited to a maximum of five days for full-time and part-time staff for days the district is closed due to inclement weather.
