Teacher urges change to sick-leave policy so staff can use accumulated time freely
Summary
A Jefferson County employee asked the school board and union to revise sick-leave policy 5.302 so staff may use accumulated leave for life events without strict categorical limits.
Stephanie Mills, who gave her address as 1009 Whitaker Road, told the school board she has seen employees denied use of accumulated time for “life situations” and asked the board and the union to review sick-leave policy 5.302. Mills said other districts have moved to a single bank of accumulated time, allowing employees flexibility without categorizing absences as sick time, personal time, or bereavement. “I implore you to please consider this opportunity to help improve the quality of your, offer your employees,” she said during public comment.
Board members acknowledged the request during the public-input period; staff did not present a policy recommendation at the meeting.
