Seminole Schools Closed On Friday, August 22th

From Seminole school district website:

Seminole County Public Schools will be closed on FRIDAY, August 22nd, for students and all 10- and 11-month staff/personnel, including teachers and bus drivers.

The Student Make-up Day will be Tuesday, November 25, 2008.

Due to excessive rainfall, many areas of the county have flooding and some roads are impassable. These conditions greatly contribute to the closure decision.

Schools will reopen on Monday, August 25th.

Those 12-month employees who cannot work due to inclement weather conditions may take appropriate leave. On days that schools are closed due to inclement weather, a 12-month employee who feels that conditions warrant not coming to work must contact their cost center supervisor to make appropriate arrangements as follows:

1. come in late and make up time or take hourly leave for time missed,
2. use personal leave with pay,
3. use vacation leave, or
4. use personal leave without pay.

No one expects employees to work if they feel they should not due to the inclement weather conditions
