Board approves replacement leave policy language to adopt 'undifferentiated' leave
Summary
The board reviewed and approved replacing parts of the NMSBA leave policies with language changing 'sick' and 'personal' leave to 'undifferentiated' leave and adding 'immediate' family language; the board indicated these changes will be reflected in handbooks and staff guidance.
The Pojoaque Valley board reviewed final language to replace NMSBA policy G-2550 and related policies, moving from separate 'sick' and 'personal' leave categories to an 'undifferentiated' leave approach and adding the term "immediate" for family illness provisions.
Superintendent Segura said the edits were reviewed by legal counsel and that the changes add clarity; one board member noted the policy may require a market-value assessment for land swaps (comment referenced elsewhere) but praised staff for work on the policy updates. Members asked to revisit one item on second reading to ensure 12-month/245-day employee categories are correctly applied; the board otherwise approved the policy changes that were on the action calendar.
Staff will incorporate any handbook language and links for parents or staff guidance where appropriate and will return any requested clarifications at the second reading.
