[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is sending their kids from June 22-25??? But with a day off on June 23?  Who comes up with these idiotic decisions??

More to the point, where are they going to get the money to pay staff to work then. And don't start with that "they got paid with the snow days" bullshit. They're going to have to be paid. For Juneteenth, too. [/quote]

MCPS employee here.... If I remember correctly, we got paid for make-up days last year. And this poster is correct. They probably will have to pay for Juneteenth and election day. Taylor said in the meeting that for each additional day that schools are open, it costs 2 million TAXPAYER dollars per day (that was his quote). [/quote]

That depends on the type of employee. Make up days are part of the professional staff contracts.[/quote]

Hourly workers get paid the make up days (ex: para educators), but they do not get paid if they do not work that day so they can't use leave and still get paid that day since they were paid the snow day. Salary workers (Ex: teachers) do not get paid for the make up days added on to the end of the school year. And it also impacts them starting their summer jobs. Teachers will be working into a new pay period without a paycheck and not able to go to the jobs many depend on to supplement their income.

If MCPS used the make up days in the calendar, teachers are paid those days since they were already professional days! I do not understand why MCPS will not use the days they agreed to and why they even pretend they will next year. At least stop labeling them if you have no intent on using them! [/quote]

Teachers have already been paid for the make-up days.[/quote]

Not how it works. Sorry.[/quote]
