Sick Leave Reserve. The purpose of the sick leave bank is to offset the financial loss incurred by a teacher who is seriously ill or a seriously ill member of their immediate family and has used all of their regular sick leave. Immediate family includes employee's spouse, children, parents or sibling. To use the bank, teachers will apply to the Board of Education, and will furnish such documentation as is requested to inform the Board and recommendation committee of the serious nature of the illness. Documentation will include doctor’s statements and other specific information found in the form provided for such use.
1. The sick leave pool will be voluntary, with each teacher electing to participate donating one day at the beginning of the 2002-03 school year. Those eligible to participate will be certified teachers as defined by K.S.A. 72-5413, part c, who are under contract to USD #325, and who have exhausted their regular sick leave. Part-time teachers may donate 1/2 day to participate.
2. Only those teachers electing to donate a day will have access to the pool.
3. The Board will either match, day for day, the teacher donations up to 50 days, or the Board will fill the bank to 100 days if more than 50 teachers elect to participate. The size of the bank will be 100 days or the number of participating teachers with matching board contribution; whichever is greater. The bank will remain in tact at 100 days for each succeeding year with teachers and the board contributing days equally to reach the maximum each year. No teacher will be asked to donate more than 1 day per year even if the bank falls below 100 for that year. Teachers will donate days after the first year following a list compiled of all participants. Each teacher will be given a random number to make up the initial list. Donations will be made from lower number to higher numbers. New participants will donate 1 day when they join, regardless of the number of days in the bank at that time, and will be put at the bottom of the rotation list. Teachers will donate 1 day as needed to maintain the maximum number of days in the bank, if their number comes up in rotation in order to remain in the pool. The pool days contributed will be carried over each year. If the pool falls below 30 days during any year, the participants will be notified and would have the option of donating more days to be matched by the board for that year.
4. The reserve committee will consist of one participating teacher from each school building ...

Sick Leave Reserve. 1. The Board will make provision for a sick leave reserve to aid unit members who suffer prolonged illness and whose sick leave becomes exhausted during an extended period of illness. The intent of the sick reserve is to provide a safety net for those members who suffer a long term illness or injury. The reserve is not intended to provide salary continuity for short- term illness or injury nor is it intended to cover cosmetic or elective procedures. Wherever possible, the member shall schedule procedures or treatments during the summer or at other times that would minimize absence from work.

When the number of available days falls below 25, participants must re-contribute one (1) day to maintain membership. If the Reserve falls below 25 days, the Board will contribute 65 days. Unused days will carry over into the next school year.
