Board approves change allowing limited unpaid days for teachers, clarifies rollover limits
Summary
Board approved revised language to the 2025-26 teacher employment framework permitting teachers to request up to two unpaid days in certain circumstances and clarifying personal-day rollover and annual-use limits.
The Plymouth School Board approved a revision to the 2025-26 teacher employment framework that adds language permitting teachers to request up to two unpaid days in specified situations. Scott, a staff member, told the board the district historically grants one personal day annually, and teachers can earn additional personal days (or compensation) through summer curriculum work. The proposed language would allow teachers, in certain circumstances, to request up to two unpaid days to provide flexibility when employees have insufficient banked personal days. During questions, Board member Tony asked about rollover rules. Scott clarified the policy: rollover is allowed but teachers may use no more than five personal days in any single year; if a teacher has more than five banked days, the extra days roll to the following year. The board voted to approve the proposed language change by voice vote. Administrators said the change is intended to provide consistent guidance while preserving limits on annual use. The motion approved the language change; no additional administrative deadlines or dollar amounts were specified in the transcript.
