The Board of Education and Superintendent are going to have to pay SEIU members who work on Easter Monday time and one-half according to the SEIU contract. That will make running school on that date more expensive than a regular school day.
If, after having established the calendar for the school year (including the
designation of official holidays), (a) the Board changes the school calendar and
the Board removes the designation of holiday from a day designated as an official
holiday; and (b) bargaining unit employees are required to work on the
previously-designated holiday due to the change in the calendar, the bargaining
unit employees required to work on that day shall be entitled to the pay for
Holiday Work described in this Article 9, Section C, and bargaining unit
employees on authorized paid leave for that day shall be considered to be on
Holiday leave, as defined in Article 12, Section G.
...and...
Holiday Work
1. A unit member required to work on an official Board of Education holiday
(and/or Christmas and New Year's Day when such days fall on a weekend) shall
be paid one and one-half times the basic hourly straight time rate for each hour
worked in addition to the holiday pay to which he/she is entitled.
