Sharon Board authorizes addenda clarifying frontloaded leave and approves MOU for Instructional Leadership Team pay
Summary
The Sharon Board unanimously authorized the superintendent to issue addenda clarifying that vacation and personal leave for classified employees in 2025–2026 are frontloaded, use‑it‑or‑lose‑it, and not payable upon separation; the board also approved an MOU authorizing up to $2,500 in extra pay for the Instructional Leadership Team (4–1 vote).
The Sharon Board of Education on June 27 authorized the superintendent to issue addenda to classified employee agreements for the 2025–2026 school year clarifying that vacation and personal leave days will be frontloaded, not accrued monthly, and will not be paid out upon separation. The authorization, moved by Philip O’Reilly and seconded by Anne Vance, was approved unanimously.
According to the minutes, the proposed addendum language referenced the contract year July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 and included sample language indicating frontloaded days (for example, 15 vacation days and/or 12 personal leave days) effective July 1, 2025, with unused days not paid out upon separation or carried forward.
Separately, the board approved a motion by Philip O’Reilly, seconded by Nancy Hegy Martin, to enter a Memorandum of Understanding with the Sharon Teachers Association authorizing extra pay/extra duty for the Instructional Leadership Team not to exceed $2,500. The MOU passed on a 4–1 vote, with Plamen Petkov recorded as opposed.
The minutes do not specify the funding source for the Instructional Leadership Team pay or further details about how the extra duty will be allocated; the board did not record any abstentions. The meeting adjourned at 9:41 AM.
