Summary

The Personnel Committee voted to recommend that teachers receive ten personal leave days per year, replacing the prior structure of four personal days plus eight sick days; the recommendation will be forwarded to the full Board.

During its March 16 meeting the Darlington Community School District Personnel Committee considered staff listening-session input on leave and sick-time policies. Committee member Jeff Stauffacher moved, seconded by Jeff Riechers, “to recommend ten personal leave days per year for teachers instead of four personal days and eight sick days per year.” The motion carried.

The committee recorded the motion as a recommendation to the full Board; the minutes do not specify administrative implementation steps or whether the change would alter sick-day balances beyond the consolidated personal leave count. The motion text in the minutes is the formal record of the committee action.
