My girls didn't go to school from Dec 11 until Jan 5th then Today No school again! Wondering if teacher still gets full paycheck if no school from snow storm weather? :hmm:
 
I think teachers are on a nine month contract. They get paid no matter what happens.
 
If those snow days missing school to make up until end of June or July??
 
Yes, teachers still get paid. Whenever school is closed, we have to make up those days, usually at the end of the year and teachers don't get paid extra for those made up days since we already got paid for them when schools was closed.
 
I think I'm pretty sure, in Minnesota, the teacher's contract says they're paid throughout the 12-month cycle instead of the school year calender. That way, they get a paycheck that would normally be paid during the school year in the summer. Colleges and universities are the same way, I believe.

Hey, where's jillio? We need to know how it is in her state. If anyone sees her, tell her her presence is requested here. :cool2:

Here, teacher's contracts are paid out while school is in session. University profs are paid by quarter or semester. Take a quarter or a semester off, and you don't get paid. Adjuncts are required to take 1 quarter per year off.

:jaw: Aren't tenured professors' salaries paid all year long? I'm pretty sure they are here in Minnesota. Wow, that is incredible!
 
This is trivial, I know, but in some jurisdictions, teachers' contracts are for 10 months but the pay is spread out 12 months. That might help Pek's perplexion(is this even a word? Lol...)

Tenured professors are, but tenure is not easy to achieve. Not all university professors are tenured. Because of the requirements to achieve tenure, I know many, many Ph.D. level professors that are not tenured, but are even more capable in a classroom situation than the the ones that are.

We'll say it is a word. I like the way it looks in writing!:lol: And, it is very descriptive!:giggle:

That's what the public schools here do, too.

At where I work, we have the option to get paid for 10 months or spread our checks 12 months. I chose 12 months.
