Board to post draft changing vacation accrual and carryover for 260-day employees
Summary
The board approved placing policy 14-33 out for 30-day public comment after the policy committee recommended reducing accrual from 3.5 to 2 vacation days per month for 260-day employees and lowering maximum carryover from 10 to 5 days.
The Gilmer County Board voted to place draft revisions to policy 14-33 (vacation days for 260-day employees) on the board agenda for a 30-day public comment period.
The superintendent summarized committee-approved changes: "After discussion, the committee unanimously agreed to revise the policy to provide for the accrual of 2 vacation days per month and to limit annual carryover to no more than 5 days." Those draft revisions will appear on the board agenda for consideration and potential public comment beginning 07/27/2026.
Board members did not request amendments to the substantive accrual numbers during the meeting; the board approved the superintendent’s recommendation to place the policy out for a 30-day review period. The action is procedural—posting the draft for public input—and does not itself enact the change. A future board vote will be required to adopt any revised policy after the comment period.
