Xxxx Leave Bank. The Frankfort-Elberta Area Teachers who wish to initially join a sick leave bank may do so only before the last Friday of September of that year by authorizing in writing that one day be taken from their sick leave for the year and credited to the bank. Membership will be continuing as long as the teacher remains employed with the school district. The Board of Education will match the total original days put in the bank each year. Each member will authorize one day each year, until a maximum shall be attained. The maximum shall be one hundred fifty (150) days plus the membership minus one. Any time that the days in the sick leave bank shall drop to less than twice the membership, each member shall be required to authorize another day deposited in the bank. The maximum number of days that any member shall be required to give in any one year shall be three (3). Any teacher who is a member can draw on the Bank only after his/her accumulated sick leave, emergency and personal business days have been depleted.
