Board clarifies bereavement leave applies to certified and classified personnel
Summary
The board approved a change to policy 5.302 to clarify that bereavement leave applies to both certified and classified personnel; administrators confirmed the time off is budgeted and paid.
The Rutherford County Board of Education approved an amendment to policy 5.302 that clarifies bereavement leave applies to both certified (professional) and classified (support) personnel.
Board members asked whether classified employees would be paid for the three bereavement days; a staff member confirmed the leave is budgeted and paid. The board moved, seconded and passed the policy change on a voice vote.
The change adjusts policy language to avoid ambiguity about which employee groups are eligible for bereavement leave and instructs payroll/HR to apply the clarification.
