Our district does not close schools because of any weather or road conditions. But, in order to ensure staff members do not put their safety at risk, there is a school district policy around winter weather conditions.
Should you be unable to attend work due to issues such as frozen vehicles, no taxis, road conditions, etc. and have made a reasonable effort to try and get to work and cannot get to your worksite, you need to contact your principal immediately, and inform them on whether you are taking a vacation or discretionary day.
Here is a copy/ paste of the school district policy:
…. if a staff member is unable to travel to work because of weather or road conditions, a discretionary day, vacation or leave without pay will be granted, as applicable, in accordance with the relevant collective agreement. • Staff are expected to make every reasonable effort to travel to work, but should not place themselves at undue risk in attempting to do so….
