Addendum to Employee
Handbook
Transportation Employees
Revised September 2004
Appraisal – Transportation employees are to be appraised periodically during the first three months in a new assignment, annually for the first two years, and every other year thereafter. If an employee has not received an appraisal within the time frame described above, one may be requested from his/her supervisor.
The appraisal schedule and format are subject to change.
If possible, employee appraisal conferences will occur during regular work time. Transportation employees will be paid if the conference occurs during time not regularly worked.
Core Competencies - A stipend of one hundred dollars ($100) will be paid to each transportation para who has completed the four (4) specified staff development courses identified as Level 1 Core Competencies. The stipend will be paid as part of the paycheck following completion and documentation provided by the Staff Development Department that the employee has completed the courses. Employees who previously received the stipend for the Level 1 Core Competencies are not eligible.
School Cancellation - Transportation drivers and paraeducators will not work on those days when school is cancelled for students. They can first utilize available emergency leave and then available special leave, and then a maximum of two sick leave days. If the employee has none of these leaves available, the employee will receive no compensation for the day.
If weather conditions make traveling extremely hazardous, a district closure day may be declared. On these rare days, only emergency personnel will be required to work. Emergency personnel are employees responsible for snow removal.
On a district closure day, employees will be paid as if they had worked. To be eligible for district closure day compensation, the employee must have actually worked on the workday prior to or the workday after the district closure day. For example, if there is a district closure day on Tuesday and an employee is absent Monday and Wednesday due to illness, that employee is not eligible for district closure pay on Tuesday but instead would utilize sick leave.
You may confirm whether it is a school closure day or a district closure day by checking your email or the LPS website or by phoning 436-1000.
