Teachers here are always paid, school in session or not. Teacher contracts divide yearly salary across 12 months. That is fairly standard in this business.

Employees who are not teachers - custodians, cafeteria workers, para professionals, etc - are the ones who don't get paid on days of inclement weather when school is not in session. But teachers get paid.
