Marion ISD board approves pay for employees during April 21 and May 1 weather closures
Summary
The Marion Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 27 approved a resolution to continue regular wage payments to all employees affected by weather-related closures on April 21 (two-hour delay) and May 1, 2026, and authorized the superintendent to excuse absences and pay full compensation.
The Marion Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 27, 2026 adopted a resolution to continue regular wage payments to all employees who were instructed not to report to work during two recent weather events, a two-hour delay on April 21 and a full-day closure on May 1. The resolution says the district included sufficient student instructional minutes in the 2025–2026 calendar so the missed hours will not need to be made up.
The resolution authorizes the superintendent to excuse employee absences for the affected dates and to pay all employees “full compensation for that day.” It directs continued wage payments “to all employees, contractual and noncontractual, salaried and non-salaried, who were instructed to not report to work on on both April 21, 2026 and May 1, 2026,” and notes the action was taken in the public interest to maintain morale, safety and staffing continuity. The board adopted the resolution on May 27; the transcript does not specify a vote tally or names of movers and seconders.
