I am in receipt of your request for a Superintendent's Interpretation regarding compensation for make-up days. Specifically, you ask:
"When school is CANCELED because of a ‘snow day' and I (or any other
employee with over 200 day contracts) am required to work that day, how
must or should I be compensated for also being required to work the make-
up day?"
As I understand the scenario you set forth, you are not entitled to any additional compensation for working on a make-up day. A day lost due to snow will necessarily be scheduled to made up on a day which is already included as a paid day within your employment term. Even if teachers are not required to report to work on a snow day, that day is not a vacation day. It is included as part of your employment contract for which you are paid. Working on both the make-up day and the snow day does not add any days to your employment term. Thus, no additional compensation will be owed to you. Hoping that I have been of service, I am
Sincerely, /s/
David Stewart
