Committee reviews expansion of FMLA-style benefits to noncertified staff
Summary
The policy committee considered edits to the district Family Medical Leave Act policy to require benefits equal to federal FMLA for noncertified employees (expanding from paraeducators) in response to Public Act 2441; technical edits and updated legal references were also noted.
Speaker 2 told the committee the Family Medical Leave Act policy was revised to require boards of education to provide benefits equal to those provided by federal FMLA to noncertified employees rather than limiting the benefit to paraeducators. The presenter said this change responds to Section 18 of Public Act 2441, includes technical edits and updated legal references, and applies to noncertified employees who have been employed by the board for at least 12 months and who worked at least 950 hours in the previous 12 months.
No committee questions prevented the item from moving forward; Speaker 2 closed the presentation and the policy will proceed to the normal second-read process.
