The board will determine the amount of vacation and holidays that will be allowed on an annual basis for employees.
Vacation for full-time regular employees who work at least 245 days a year, unless the employee's individual contract indicates otherwise, will be 5 days per year after 90 days of employment, 10 days per year after one year of employment and 15 per year days after 15 years of employment. Unused vacation will not be allowed to be carried over, unless the employee’s individual contract indicates otherwise.
The vacation may be taken during the school year provided the vacation will not disrupt the operation of the school district. The employee must submit a vacation request to the superintendent, who will determine whether the request will disrupt the operation of the school district. In the case of the superintendent's request, the board will make the determination.
Regular full-time employees who work at least 245 days a year will be allowed 10 holidays per year. It is within the discretion of the board to set the holidays annually.
Employees who work during the school academic year, whether full-time or part-time, will have time off in concert with the school calendar.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation to the board annually on vacations and holidays for employees.
