Board adds state‑mandated paid parental leave to employee handbook
Summary
The board approved a policy update to include the state-mandated paid parental leave in the district handbook. The presenter described the item as an administrative update reflecting new state law and the board adopted the revision by voice vote.
The Calhoun County School Board voted to add state‑mandated paid parental leave language to its employee handbook.
The presenter said the revision is driven by recent state legislation and explained the packet language is effectively a excerpt from the new law: "This is just state legislators said you have to do the paid parental leave now," the presenter said, and recommended the district include the statutory language in the handbook. Board members treated the item as an administrative update rather than an open policy debate.
After a brief exchange, the board approved the handbook update by voice vote. The change will be incorporated into district personnel policies and communicated to staff.
