Message from ATA Conventions regarding inclement weather and safe travels...

“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and
professional responsibility to attend Convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your
assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or
inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include
language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave
clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of
leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or
report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective
agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you
need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment
Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”
