CHARLOTTE, NC — Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools announced Wednesday they will waive the three days missed due to Hurricane Florence.
The decision was made by the superintendent and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education after a review by the Board’s General Counsel. The district’s policy says Superintendent Wilcox can “waive up to four instructional days each year in the event schools are closed to students because of severe weather or other emergency conditions.”
Officials with the school district say the days, September 13, 14 and 17, will be waived as school and/or work days for students and staff.
Exempt employees who took leave on those dates will have the leave credited back to their leave balance.
“Non-exempt employees will be provided the opportunity to earn income lost during this current pay period within a subsequent pay period and on a previously calendared teacher work day,” according to a release from CMS. “Those teacher work days include Oct. 31, Dec. 19, January 2, Jan. 22, Feb. 18, March 29 and June 10-12. Non-exempt employees will work with their building leader or department manager to schedule up to three days of lost earnings”
