[LM_NET] HIT: Non-sequitur/Personal Days

[GeorgeAnne Draper <GDraper@WYNNE.K12.AR.US>]

Thanks to everyone who responded to the query about personal days.
Almost all schools are different, and since there were so many
responses, I will summarize.  A special thank you to everyone who took
the time to respond; you are a great "bunch" of people!

The most common response:   2 "free" days per year (do not have to pay
for substitute)
                                                 Within this there were
numerous variations.  The best one is 2 each year until 10 are
accumulated.  Some schools allow 2 days
                                                 each year, and if they
aren't used, they are added to the sick days.   We can accumulate up to
5, but 2 of those cost us sub
                                                 pay.

Second most common response:   5 personal days a year with no
accumulation

Third most common response:   3 personal days a year.  One school
allows 3 each year, with accumulation to 4 only. In some schools
teachers are paid for days
                                                  they do not use
instead of the accumulation factor.

Fourth most common response:  4 personal days a year.  One school says
that at the end of the year, any unused days convert to sick leave.

There were other variations. Some schools give a larger number of sick
days that are also considered personal days.  Hopefully, we will be able
to improve our policy.  We will probably be able to change it so people
will be able to get the "free" ones (not pay subs) sooner than the
present  10 years.


Thanks again to everyone.
