b. In order to be eligible to use Sick Leave Bank hours, teachers shall have been absent due to personal illness at least ten (10) consecutive school days immediately prior to the day they request hours from the Sick Leave Bank. If all benefit days have been exhausted, teachers will not be paid until they accumulate ten (10) consecutive school day absences at which time Sick Leave Bank would begin;
