MNPS board inserts 'at least' into personal leave policy and approves it
Summary
The board debated and amended policy 5.303 to insert the words "at least" before specified personal and professional leave day counts, then approved the policy as amended by voice vote.
Board members pulled policy 5.303 (personal and professional leave) from the consent agenda for discussion and to clarify the board's intent about leave caps.
Member Young moved to amend the policy by inserting the words "at least" before the listed leave accruals so the policy would read "at least 2 days" and "at least 4 days". Member Tyler and others discussed fiscal implications and the role of the MOU process; the board's attorney said the change was not legally problematic. "If the board is concerned about making its intent clear, I think adding that flexibility to the language is not problematic," the board attorney said during the discussion.
The amendment passed on a voice vote, and the board then approved policy 5.303 as amended. Members debated whether any resulting fiscal impact would be addressed during the MOU process and underscored that any material fiscal effects would return to the board for approval.
