When Muscogee County School District
Schools are “CLOSED” due to inclement weather or any other
circumstances that warrant closing, employees should not report to
work. Unsafe driving or facility conditions make attempts to report
to work inappropriate and unadvisable. With the exception of certain
individuals specifically contacted by their supervisor and directed
to report to perform emergency repairs and/or other duties, all
other District employees should not report to work. Employees will
receive full pay for days that Muscogee County School District is
closed due to inclement weather or any other circumstances that
warrant closing.
When Muscogee County School District
has a “DELAYED OPENING” due to inclement weather or any other
circumstances that warrant closing, the District will provide
Principals, Department Heads, and local media outlets information
regarding when employees should report to work.
- Employees who report to work by
the delayed opening time will receive full pay for that day.
- Employees who are unable to get
to work, or who arrive late to work, will be given the
opportunity to make up the work time missed. The District will
provide Principals and Department Heads information on how to
handle make-up work for any work days or hours missed.
- Employees will only be allowed
to make-up missed time in the current workweek.
- If an employee misses a day of
work or reports to work late and is unable to make up the time
missed within the current week he/she must use personal leave,
vacation day(s) or be payroll deducted for the time missed.
When Muscogee County School District
Schools have an “EARLY CLOSING” due to inclement weather or any
other circumstances that warrant closing, employees will be directed
to leave work and will be paid for the un-worked time when the
weather forces an early closing. School staff will be released with
the principal’s approval upon dismissal of all the children.
However, if the District remains open and employees are permitted to
leave early at their option due to weather conditions or any other
circumstances that warrant closing, make-up provisions of paragraphs
2 and 4 above apply.
