All School Support Organizations, Integrated Service Centers, and central headquarters offices of the Department of Education will be closed. Except for "prevailing wage rate employees" subject to Section 220 of the New York State Labor Law, absence of per annum, per diem, hourly non-competitive employees, and monthly salaried employees of the administrative staff and headquarters’ pedagogical personnel scheduled to work on these twelve days shall be excused without loss of pay and without charge to annual leave.

For all non-managerial/non-confidential employees (i.e. Administrative employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement), Lincoln’s Birthday Observed is scheduled as a holiday. All central headquarters offices of the Department of Education will be OPEN, and limited staff from the School Support Organizations, and Integrated Service Centers will be accessible. This day will remain a paid holiday for Administrative employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, but managerial/confidential employees hired on or before June 30, 2004, and working on Lincoln’s Birthday Observed (Friday, February 19, 2010) in all School Support Organizations, Integrated Service Centers and central headquarters offices are entitled to be excused on another day, without charge to annual leave. Managerial/confidential employees are defined as: Pedagogic managers not covered by a collective bargaining agreement (even when receiving benefits through the CSA), all administrative managers, and employees in Original Jurisdiction (OJ) titles receiving benefits through the City of New York Management Benefits Fund (MBF). The first available personal business or annual leave (vacation) absence that a managerial/confidential employee hired on or before June 30, 2004, takes after Lincoln’s Birthday Observed will automatically be recorded as a “floating holiday.” However, that day off must be taken on or before Tuesday, August 31, 2010, and must be selected in a manner that ensures the efficient operation of the office. Where feasible, employees may use the traditional date for Lincoln’s Birthday Observed (Friday, February 19, 2010) as their “floating holiday.” Lincoln’s Birthday Observed is a regularly scheduled workday for “prevailing wage rate” employees and the following managerial/confidential employees hired after June 30, 2004: Pedagogic managers not covered by a collective bargaining agreement (even when receiving benefits through the CSA), all administrative managers, and employees in Original Jurisdiction (OJ) titles receiving benefits through the City of New York Management Benefits Fund (MBF).
