Sick Leave Bank

The purpose of the Sick Leave Bank is to provide additional sick leave days to members of the sick leave bank in the event of the extended absence for major physical disabilities due to extended catastrophic illness or injury. Sick leave bank days are also available to the District employee if such conditions are experienced by his/her immediate family member(s).
