Fabens ISD board reduces maximum compensatory time accrual to 40 hours
Summary
The board approved a local-policy amendment lowering the maximum compensatory time accrual from 60 to 40 hours to reduce year-end liabilities and require employees to use earned compensatory hours within the school year; the motion passed unanimously.
Administration proposed a revision to local policy DEA (compensatory time accrual) to lower the maximum allowable accrual from 60 hours to 40 hours. Administration explained the change is intended to encourage employees to use compensatory hours during the year, improve scheduling and operational efficiency, and reduce the district's year-end liability when excess hours must be cashed out.
Board member Mr. Spence moved the change (seconded by Mr. Flores in the transcript); the board voted in favor and the motion passed 6–0. Administration said department supervisors will be responsible for monitoring balances to ensure employees use hours before exceeding the new cap.
Why it matters: Reducing the accrual cap lowers the district’s financial liability at year-end and changes expectations for employees and supervisors about scheduling and leave use.
What’s next: Administration will implement the new accrual limit and develop monitoring practices with department supervisors.
