A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to decrease the cost to a teacher who takes personal leave.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 115C-302.1(d) reads as rewritten:
"(d) Personal Leave. -
Teachers earn personal leave at the rate of .20 days for each full month of
employment not to exceed two days per year. Personal leave may be accumulated
to a maximum of five days. Personal leave may be used only upon the
authorization of the teacher's immediate supervisor, but if the request is made
at least five days in advance, the teacher cannot be required to provide a
reason for the request. Unless approved by the principal, a teacher shall not
take personal leave on the first day the teacher is required to report for the
school year, on required teacher workdays, or on the day before or the day
after holidays or scheduled vacation days. Teachers may transfer personal leave
days between local school administrative units. The local school administrative
unit shall credit a teacher who has separated from service and is reemployed
within 60 months from the date of separation with all personal leave
accumulated at the time of separation. Local school administrative units shall
not advance personal leave. Teachers using personal leave receive full
salary less the required substitute deduction. If a substitute
teacher is required while a teacher is on personal leave, the teacher's salary
for the day shall be reduced by twenty-five dollars ($25.00) to partially
offset the cost of the substitute."
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective July 1, 2005.
