The school calendar, as adopted by the Board, establishes the school recess periods and holidays for support staff members employed on a school year basis.

A two (2) week vacation will be allowed eligible full-time staff members who have completed one

(1) year of employment. A first year employee’s two week vacation will be prorated to the number of days to work.

A three (3) week vacation will be allowed eligible full-time staff members who have completed ten (10) years’ service.

A four (4) week vacation will be allowed eligible staff members who have completed twenty (20) years’ service.

Vacation time must be used within one (1) year after earned and cannot be accumulated.

A staff member must notify the immediate supervisor concerning vacation scheduling and secure prior approval.

The supervisor is requested to notify the administrative office confirming vacation scheduling of a staff member.

The Superintendent of Schools will give consideration to any unusual request.

Calculation regarding employment time applying toward the completion of the tenth year of service for the purpose of determining eligibility for three (3) week vacation shall include both full-year and part-year employment.  Employment in the same or similar area of work will apply.  Equivalent time would be interpreted to be a full eight (8) hour – five (5) days per week, and ten (10) years duty, in the overall calculation (12 months per year).
