Board approves MOU to grant emergency paid leave for employees affected by Aspen Acres fire
Summary
The board approved a one‑year MOU allowing up to one week of paid leave for employees impacted by the Aspen Acres fire and permitting up to 16 donated leave days from colleagues, intended to support staff recovery through the school year.
The Pueblo County School District 70 board approved a memorandum of understanding with PCEA to provide targeted emergency leave for staff affected by the Aspen Acres fire.
Miss Russell (speaker 10), presenting the MOU, said the agreement would permit the district to "grant up to 1 week of paid leave for an employee to handle that personal business" connected to home damage or loss and would allow up to 16 donated days from fellow employees to extend leave as needed. The MOU was described as intended for the current school year only.
Board members expressed support for the proposal, calling it thoughtful and thorough; on a roll‑call vote the motion to approve carried unanimously among the five named members. The board recorded that the MOU is aimed at reducing immediate burdens on affected employees while the district continues recovery efforts in areas damaged by recent flooding and fire.
