Collective Bargaining Agreements, Salary Schedules, Staff Calendars, Inclement Weather

Arrive as close to your normal start time as possible, as safe as possible, and no later than 30 minutes before the rescheduled student start time. If you are unable to make it to work due to road conditions, let your supervisor know and then take appropriate leave per your contract.

A late start day counts as a “student day”.

On late start days in the rest of the district when Meadow Crest Early Learning Center (MCELC) cancels classes for students, MCELC staff still report to work for their normal shift.

In the event of a school closure:

Do not report to work as this is now a non-student, non-work day. The student days will be “made up” on the designated weather make-up day(s). Any weather-related make-up days are contracted work days.

KEC-based TOSAs do not report to work when schools are closed.

Work calendars are available on the Human Resources page on the district website. If you have questions, please call 425.204.2370.

RE: 2019-2020 Late Start & Weather-Related Schedules Memo

As inclement weather and winter approaches, so does the potential for late start schedules and school closures. Here are some things to remember. In the event of a building/program/District closure due to emergency/inclement weather, buildings will be presumed to be open to employees unless notification is provided that employees should not report to work.

Notification is made via, media announcements, school messenger, website postings. Certain employees have been designated as essential personnel and they were notified of this designation by November 1. Essential personnel are expected to report even if buildings/district are closed unless notified otherwise by their supervisor.

Employees should exercise appropriate judgement regarding their ability to report for work. Employees who do not report to work need to take appropriate leave or make other arrangements with their supervisor such as outlined in the applicable collective bargaining agreement such as working remotely, making up the time, leave without pay.

In the event of a late start for most classified employees:

Late start days count as “student days” and therefore are work days for 180 day employees. All classified staff members are required to work their regular number of hours per day.

Example: The employee is a 6-hour Para who works 1:1 with a student and school is 2 hours late. The employee reports to work as close to their regular shift as possible, (keeping safety in mind as well) and works his/her 6 hours. This is applicable even if the student is absent.

In the event of a late start for Meadow Crest Early Learning Center (MCELC):

On late start days in the rest of the district when MCELC cancels classes for students, MCELC staff still report to work for their normal shift.

Example: The employee is a 3.25-hour Para in the Preschool Program and with a late start, Preschool is cancelled. The employee reports to work as close to their regular shift as possible (keeping safety in mind as well) and works their 3.25 hours.

In the event of a late start for bus drivers:

Bus drivers will report to work later than normal to start their routes at an appropriate time for road conditions, as communicated by the Director of Transportation.

In the event of a school/district closure:

Classified employees working less than 260 days do not report to work. These days will be made up. Any weather-related make-up days are contracted work days.
Any employee who has been designated as essential personnel is expected to report to work. RESP, AFT, SEIU and RPTA employees were notified by November 1 if they were designated as essential personnel.
260 day classified employees who have not been designated as essential personnel are expected to report to work when possible.
If the district office (KEC) is open, 260-day KEC staff are expected to report to work when possible.

Work calendars are available on the Human Resources page on the district website. If you have questions, please call 425.204.2370.

RE: 2019-20 Late Start & Weather-Related Schedules Memo

As inclement weather and winter approaches, so does the potential for late start schedules and school/District closures. Please be sure you understand the expectations of you and your staff regarding weather/emergency related schedules. Attached are the memos going to certificated and classified staff. Here are some things to remember.

Buildings will be presumed to be open to employees unless notification is provided that employees should not report to work. Notification is made via, media announcements, school messenger, website postings. Certain employees have been designated as essential personnel and they were notified of this designation by November 1. Essential personnel are expected to report even if buildings/district are closed unless notified otherwise by their supervisor.

You are expected to report to work as close to your regular start time, using appropriate judgement as to your ability to do so safely. You must be in communication with your supervisor regarding any changes to your schedule.
