The bill enhances maternity leave provisions for teachers, establishing a minimum of 40 days of paid leave following the birth or adoption of a child.

  • KRS 161.155

    [A teacher or] employee may use up to thirty (30) days of sick leave following the birth or adoption of a child or children. Additional days may be used when the need is verified by a physician's statement. → Each school district board of education shall allow to each teacher in its common school system not less than forty (40) days of maternity leave immediately following the birth or adoption of a child or children without deduction of salary.

    This change establishes a minimum of 40 days of maternity leave for teachers, enhancing their leave rights.

  • KRS 161.155

    the sick leave shall be taken first and shall run concurrently with maternity leave, except that the teacher may reserve up to thirty (30) days of sick leave. → To the extent the teacher has accrued sick leave, the sick leave shall be taken first and shall run concurrently with maternity leave, except that the teacher may reserve up to thirty (30) days of sick leave.

    This maintains the provision allowing for the use of accrued sick leave during maternity leave while emphasizing the new minimum leave requirement.

  • KRS 161.155

    Payments made by a district board of education under the provisions of this section are presumed to be for services rendered and for the benefit of the common schools and the payments do not affect the eligibility of any school district to participate in the public school funding program as established in KRS Chapter 157.

    This provision is removed, clarifying that payments for maternity leave do not affect school district funding eligibility.
