Summary

The board approved handbook language that retirees 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 an amendment to the Employee Handbook effective with the 2025–26 school year clarifying sick-day retirement payout. The motion (Stauffacher; seconded by Zuberbuhler) provides that teachers with at least 22 years of service will be paid $60 per day for each unused sick day up to a maximum of 110 days; part-time staff will be paid based on the percentage of their employment.

The change was recorded as carried. The minutes do not provide a cost estimate or identify which retirees are eligible beyond the 22-year service threshold; implementation details were not included in the minutes and would be handled through payroll as part of retirement processing.
