Summary
The board approved handbook language stating teachers with at least 22 years' service will be paid $60 per unused sick day up to 110 days; part‑time staff will be paid pro rata.
The board approved a change to the Employee Handbook to establish a retirement sick‑day payout for teachers with long service. The minutes record that, beginning with the 2025–26 school year, teachers with at least 22 years of service to the Darlington Community School District will be paid $60 per day for each unused sick day up to a maximum of 110 days; part‑time staff will receive payment for unused sick time based on their percentage of employment.
The motion was made by Stauffacher, seconded by Zuberbuhler, and the minutes record the motion carried. The minutes specify the handbook language as “beginning with 2025-26 school year,” which the board recorded in these April 22, 2026 minutes.
