The Board of Education shall maintain records on the donation and usage of sick leave bank days, which shall be the records relied on by all parties involved.

Sick Day Bank. Effective with the 1991-1992 school year, a Sick Day Bank shall be established. The purpose of the Sick Day Bank is to provide paid days for serious personal illness or family illness to contributors to the Bank who have exhausted their accumulated sick days and accrued vacation days and who are experiencing prolonged personal or family illness. Members may enroll in the Sick Day Bank during the initial enrollment period, which shall be the month of September, 1991, or during the subsequent enrollment periods, which shall be during the month of September of each school year. Upon enrollment, a member shall contribute one (1) of his/her accumulated sick days to the Sick Day Bank. Days contributed to the Sick Day Bank are non-returnable. Annually thereafter, members will be assessed one-half (1/2) day during the enrollment period to remain a member of the Bank, unless the Sick Bank Committee waives the assessment. Enrollment in the Sick Day Bank shall be continuous from year to year until a member withdraws. Withdrawals are accepted only during an enrollment period and only upon written notice by the member to the Sick Day Bank Committee (SBC) of his/her intent to withdraw.
Sick Day Bank. Each new teacher, or teacher who has borrowed days from the bank and has not repaid, may voluntarily donate one (1) or more days of accumulated sick leave, at the beginning or end of the school year, to a Sick Day Bank which shall be used in the event of an illness by a teacher who has exhausted their sick leave accumulation. If a new teacher has not donated to the sick day bank, they will not be allowed to draw from the bank. The bank shall be controlled solely by a committee composed of three (3) teachers and an administrator, all of which are selected by the Association. The above committee shall determine who shall be eligible to draw from the bank and shall establish whatever rules, guidelines or procedures it deems necessary for the fair and equitable management of the bank. The maximum number of days per illness or disability of the teacher is eight (8) days. A teacher granted days will sign a written contract supplied by the Sick Day Bank Committee acknowledging the obligation to repay the Bank from the ensuing year’s credit. If the teacher separates employment, goes on extended unpaid leave or is laid off and the days are not repaid in full, the District reserves the right to deduct the day(s) due on behalf of the Sick Day Bank Committee from the employee’s accumulated sick leave days in order to restore the Bank and if insufficient days are available, the balance remains due and payable by the teacher to the Bank prior any terminal pay distribution. The Committee and Association shall hold the Board harmless in any dispute which might occur as the result of any action by the Committee and shall reimburse, from Association funds, any judgments or expenses, including attorney fees, resulting from any actions against the Committee. Days in the sick day bank shall accumulate to not more than one hundred-fifty (150) days and they shall not be returned to the donor, if unused. At any time when there is a catastrophic illness of a teacher or the Bank has been depleted to less than twenty-five (25) days, the Association may request that the Board allow teachers to make an additional contribution to the Bank. A teacher leaving the district may contribute, upon departure, up to one-half (1/2) of their remaining sick days (minus any days owed to the Bank) to the Sick Day Bank.
Sick Day Bank i. A voluntary teacher sick day bank will be established.
