Did you enjoy having A Snow Day?

Having off work due to inclement weather isn’t a given. It exists because of the BEA Contract (see language below) negotiated by your union. Throughout the years, there have been board members and administrators who have insisted that teachers come to work even when students are out on snow days. While some teachers may choose to do that, many of us take advantage of the time at home to get caught up on schoolwork and care for our kids, who are at home from school as well.

“L. When schools are closed due to inclement weather, teachers are not expected to report to their closed buildings. Further, when schools are dismissed due to inclement weather, teachers shall be entitled to leave as soon as the buildings are cleared of students. In the application of this section of the Agreement, a teacher shall not suffer a loss of compensation.”
