Board to post state‑mandated paid parental‑leave policy for public comment; adoption expected next month
Summary
The board voted unanimously to place a draft parental‑leave policy on the agenda for public comment after a state law requiring three weeks of paid parental leave for birthing employees was described by the superintendent; the board will consider adoption next month.
The superintendent told the Greene County Board that a recent state legislative session enacted a law requiring every school district to offer three weeks of paid parental leave to an employee who gives birth, framed as a medical parental leave in addition to existing bonding leave.
The superintendent presented a draft policy implementing that statutory requirement and recommended the board put the policy out for public comment and review. The chair called for a motion to place the parental‑leave document on the table for the next month; the motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously by voice vote.
The board did not adopt the policy at the meeting; the superintendent said the district will receive public comment and plan to return next month for final action. No stakeholder testimony was taken at the meeting and the recorded vote was by voice with all members indicating assent.
