Just curious are they required to make it up? How does it really work?

Teachers and students must make up the day later in the year. A vacation day is taken away either during one of the breaks (spring break) or tacked on at the end of June. It is not a free day.

They don't have to make up days for ALL incidents of bad weather closings.

When the school district decides on a school year calendar, they plan for a few extra days in case of closings bad weather days and also to make up for administrative days, so the teachers have a few built-in days off they don't have to make up in case of bad weather.

Many school districts have 2 extra days on their calendar just in case of bad weather which teachers and students don't have to make up if used.

If more days than the ones originally planned for in the school calendar have school closures, then it has to be made up (as noted above).

Teachers are paid a contractual salary so there are no deductions for snow days. If there are too many days cancelled because of weather, then students and teachers will need to make up some of the days and teachers will not receive more money for the make-up days. The number of make-up days required depends on the district and how many instructional days the particular district already included in its calendar.

This is the straight-forward answer to the OP's question.

NY state requires a certain amount of instructional days per year. If there are snow days taken throughout the year, they are added on to the end of the year. Example-tentative closing date june 21 (if there are no snow days)-every day an emergency day is claimed, the last day gets pushed back that many respective days.

When I was a kid I was the only person never excited about a snow day, because I had the sense to realize having to shovel snow in February, sure wasn't as good as getting that 5 day weekend in May. Not everyone else I guess appreciated the long term... that or their parents were going away for a 5 day memorial day regardless and were pulling the kids out of school.

I'm sure teachers feel the same.
