6.C. Consideration and Action on Adoption of DEC (LOCAL) Sick Leave Bank Description: Present policy is not an effective or equitable system of dealing with catastrophic sick leave. In the past years we have had several employees request the use of the pool. In no instance has any employee received more than 10 days of donated sick leave and in one instance they only received 2 days donated. The first reason is that employees from a campus that has over 50 people have an advantage over an employee that may only have less than 10 people that may contribute to the pool. This certainly creates inequity and unfairness. The second reason is that our system is based on popularity, or the present situation of staff, and maybe a sense that someone else will take care of people. The new bank policy is not based on any of these factors and creates a sense of community. All depositors have an interest in others and there is a sacrifice for both employees and the district as the employer. We will go over the policy and the administrative guidelines that go with it. The policy was vetted and written by our TASB policy expert Lexi O’Hair.
