ÁùºÏ±¦µä

School District officials announced today that as a part of the ongoing need to manage the revenue shortfalls that are causing unwanted cuts to the ÁùºÏ±¦µä budget, the District has found it necessary to make changes in leave allocations. The changes, approved on June 20 by the Board of Trustees, are as follows:

Beginning July 1, the local sick leave accrual will be reduced by two days for all employees:

• For 10-month employees:  Reduced from six days to four days/year.
• For 11-month employees:  Reduced from seven days to five days/year.
• For 12-month employees:  Reduced from eight days to six days/year.

Also, hardship leave for employees has been eliminated.

In addition to local sick leave benefits shown above, ÁùºÏ±¦µä employees continue to have access to a variety of other leave benefits (with prior approval, as required). Examples of other leave include:

With Full Pay

• State personal leave: five days/year.
• Sick leave bank for eligible employees who have enrolled: up to 60 days/year at full pay, 120 days max without re-enrolling.
• Civic leave.

Partial Pay

• Extended leave for personal illness: 30, 45 or 60 days of leave/year (depending on years of service).

Full and/or Partial Pay

• Parenting leave: up to 30 days/year.
