Inclement Weather Plan
Inclement
Weather Policy
Unless
it is announced on the radio or television that Puget
Sound ESD offices are closed, we will be in operation.
If the offices are declared "closed,"
staff will not be deducted for a days salary.
For any closed full or half days, please note on your
time sheet "office closed." Employees
previously requesting vacation or sick leave during
"closed" days will not be required to use
the vacation or sick days.
If
offices are operational and any employee chooses not
to come to work, he/she may use annual leave for work
time missed. Employees may also choose to have
work time missed deducted from the employee's salary.
However, as long as employees make a reasonable
effort to arrive at the normal starting time and stay
until closing or dismissed, no pay deduction will be
made.
There
are several ways you can find out if our office has
closed due to inclement weather:
- Call
our main number, 425 917-7600 or 1 800 664-4549.
We will put a voice mail on to let you know that we
are closed.
- If
you have Internet access, you can check the Public
Schools Emergency Communications System (PSECS) at
www.schoolreport.org. We will also place more specific
announcements, if needed, on www.psesd.org and www.mypsesd.org.
-
At times, employees will be notified of closing through
a phone tree. Please make sure your department
head has your current home phone number.
- Closure
information will be given to the media via PSECS.
We will try to have the announcement made by
6:00 a.m. The following stations are more likely
to broadcast this information: KIRO TV (CH.
7), KIRO RADIO (710 AM), KOMO TV (CH. 4), KOMO Radio
(1000 AM), or KING TV (CH. 5)
When the offices are closed, all events at PSESD Renton and/or Fife locations will be cancelled. If you have an event that you wish to cancel or delay and are unable to reach participants through phone trees or other methods, please call Andrea Desimone at 206-683-4508 and she will add it to the office closure news item on the front page of psesd.org.
