Lake Dallas ISD authorizes pay for employees during Jan. weather emergency
Summary
The board approved a resolution Feb. 16 authorizing the superintendent to compensate employees for up to four days during January weather-related closures for staff "ready, willing and able to work" but prevented by emergency conditions.
Superintendent Dr. Kristin N. Brown presented a resolution authorizing compensation for school district employees for up to four days (based on the modified calendar) who were ready, willing and able to work during Jan. 26–29, 2026 closures but were prohibited from working because of the weather emergency. The resolution frames the action as serving a public purpose to ensure safety and continuity.
Scott Baird moved approval and Bruce Smith seconded; the motion passed 5–0. The resolution text incorporated recitals about sleet, ice and snow across Texas and explicitly authorizes the superintendent to compensate eligible employees for the covered days. The board recorded the vote and the resolution will be implemented through district administrative processes.
