Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I am a teacher at a small private school in Northern Virgina (32 employees) and am on a salaried 10 month contract. As a salaried employee, by pay remains the same regardless of time out for snow days or longer hours due to meetings, conferences, etc. We have 10 sick/vacation days for each school year. Here is my questions...our arrival time is tracked to the moment and late arrivals (even if only one minute late) are tracked and when three accumulate an entire sick/vacation day is docked. The same policy goes for missed staff meeting- you miss three, you lose a day. Partial days, are tracked to the moment and on percentage of a full day basis and are deducted from the ten days as well. Is this practice legal?
