The total amount of leave that may be accrued in any fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) is 40 hours. Up to 40 hours can be carried over into a new fiscal year. Leave may not be borrowed prior to earning, and any unused leave will not be paid out upon termination. Employees rehired within 37 weeks of leaving employment with the Board of Education will be eligible to have any unused leave reinstated that was previously available upon termination. Leave Use and Notification Procedures Generally, employees should submit a request to use available leave seven (7) days’ prior to using leave. If the use of leave is not foreseeable, the request must be submitted as soon as practicable, but not less than 1 ½ hours prior to the employee’s normal reporting time. If a leave request is submitted within 1 ½ hours of the reporting time, the leave request will be denied. Verification of appropriate use of leave (i.e., doctor’s note, etc.) will be required for any employee using more than 2 consecutive scheduled workdays, or if leave is used between the 107th through 120th day of beginning employment. Failure to provide this verification will result in subsequent requests for leave for the same reason being denied.

Under special circumstances these employees may be required to report on such days at the direction of the Superintendent of Schools.
