What changed in the latest version
68 added · 389 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Bill SB 2749 update the compensation structure for school board members based on the enrollment size of their districts. Now, members in smaller districts (under 5,000 students) will earn a fixed salary of $4,000, while those in larger districts will earn between $4,000 and $5,000 depending on their student enrollment numbers. This change matters because it aims to better reflect the responsibilities and workload of school board members in different-sized districts, ensuring they are compensated fairly for their service. Additionally, previous provisions about health benefits and reimbursement processes have been removed, streamlining the focus on salary.

Conditions that are short-term in nature, including, but not limited to, common illnesses such as influenza and the measles, and common injuries, are not catastrophic.
Chronic illnesses or injuries, such as cancer or major surgery, that result in intermittent absences from work and that are long-term in nature and require long recuperation periods may be considered catastrophic.

(i) The employee donating the leave (the "donor employee") shall designate the employee who is to receive the leave (the "recipient employee") and the amount of unused accumulated personal leave and sick leave that is to be donated, and shall notify the school district superintendent or his designee of his or her designation.
(ii) The maximum amount of unused accumulated personal leave that an employee may donate to any other employee may not exceed a number of days that would leave the donor employee with fewer than seven (7) days of personal leave remaining, and the maximum amount of unused accumulated sick leave that an employee may donate to any other employee may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the unused accumulated sick leave of the donor employee.

(v) Before an employee may receive donated leave, the superintendent of education of the school district shall appoint a review committee to approve or disapprove the said donations of leave, including the determination that the illness is catastrophic within the meaning of this section.
(vi) If the total amount of leave that is donated to any employee is not used by the recipient employee, the whole days of donated leave shall be returned to the donor employees on a pro rata basis, based on the ratio of the number of days of leave donated by each donor employee to the total number of days of leave donated by all donor employees.
